Chapter 1094 Seduction
To identify a new species is not an easy job. First, you have to check whether there are repeated discoveries from previous generations. This alone can be exhausted in the era of computers.
If you read the book on plant taxonomy, there are a large number of "different names" behind a large number of animals and plants, with three or five different names, or more different names, and the meaning of "different names" can basically be said to be "short oil, admitting the wrong one".
Even if taxonomists are serious, given that there are so many species on Earth, it is still inevitable that there will be a different name. In order not to become a member of the different name group, Professor Xie had to work harder.
However, Professor Xie is willing to help with electron microscopes in the ion channel laboratory and scientific research dogs in the ion channel laboratory.
It is not easy to just use the new electron microscope.
Unlike Yang Rui, who buys equipment for a cost of one million yuan, although Professor Xie is also a professor at Peking University, his annual funding is only less than 100,000 yuan.
This is actually a normal fund allocation model. For plant taxonomy, it is already a lot to have tens of thousands of yuan in funding a year.
Of course, Professor Xie did not ask the equipment to be purchased. If he wanted to use the equipment, he went to the public laboratory. A large part of the funds were also handed over to the public laboratory to purchase equipment for everyone.
This is naturally not very pleasant, but there is nothing we can do about it.
When Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory was first established the same day as the machine-assembly mode of one instrument, no one expected that he would have saved up so quickly, and at one in one or two months, his laboratory has become the top biology laboratory in China.
There are many better than his laboratory, but it is unlikely to say that it is comprehensively surpassed. In any case, the instruments in Yang Rui's laboratory are newly purchased.
As a researcher, the ownership of the instrument is certainly a good concept, but it is also a great pleasure to be used occasionally. It is like a child going to Disneyland to play. Of course, he wants Disneyland to belong to his own home, but he doesn’t work hard when he is reincarnated, and no matter how much he urges his father the day after tomorrow, it will be useless. However, even if he queues up to play with amusement equipment, he is still very happy.
In addition, Professor Xie also learned from Yang Rui the basic use of PCR - let the inventor of PCR teach the use of PCR in person, and this opportunity is naturally not common.
Therefore, when the paper on the discovery of the new species of "Zhang Fei's Blue Thorn Head" was released, Professor Xie, who was in charge of writing, actually gave the first author to Yang Rui neatly.
Yang Rui accepted it without hesitation. Although the people are very interested in the discovery of new species, from an academic perspective, a paper on a new species is very ordinary. It is a bit amazing to identify a new group. Just a new species of the genus Blue Sprig can only be published in Chinese journals to enjoy it. Professor Xie used the identification work to exchange for Yang Rui's PCR teaching, which is a fair trade.
On the other hand, with Yang Rui's reputation in the biology community, his Chinese paper on new species was a green light.
Usually, it took two or three months, or even four or five months to review the manuscript, only nine or eight... No, it only takes eight or nine days to review it.
Needless to say, the editor of "Journal of Plant Classification" must have not followed the two-way anonymity standard, and revealed Yang Rui's identity to the reviewer.
This is inevitable at home, or on a global scale, especially when big names publish papers, they are even more happy and sad stories.
If the two-way anonymity standard is strictly followed, who knows whether the scholars in charge of reviewing the manuscript will reject the manuscript with just one stroke? Maybe they will also write a fierce comment.
Scholars like Yang Rui are already at the top level in the Chinese biology community. CNS has published it all, and they are also a member of the GMP committee, and have good results. The reputation has almost exceeded the top. In addition, they have the management rights of two laboratories. It can be said that his movements are completely possible to change the direction of Chinese biology.
What would happen if such a scholar was rejected by a Chinese journal?
If there are sufficient reasons for rejecting Chinese journals, it goes without saying that both journals and rejecting writers can gain a great reputation. However, in terms of the quality of Chinese journals, it is unlikely that they would find a biologist who can review the manuscripts with Yang Rui. What qualifications are there to reject?
It was like Dalbeco was submitted to a general journal in the United States, but was rejected by an unknown professor at the University of Colorado.
There will definitely be a sensational effect in the academic community, but it is definitely not what journals want.
From the perspective of journals, the more papers of high-profile top scholars are, and the more papers of high-profile top scholars are, they cannot reject the papers of high-profile top scholars. However, if they reject the papers, they hope that the reviewers should be clear about what they are doing.
If you encounter a reviewer who happens to be too busy or too lazy, and you will hand over the review to the students under your command to do something that is a scam. This kind of scam is common, then the rejection incident is interesting. It means that the papers of top scholars are rejected by dogs. Even if Christmas is not good, there is no reason for dogs to be so happy.
It is also because journals, reviewers and even paper publishers have various concerns. The standard of two-way anonymity has always been the patent of ordinary scholars in the academic world.
Yang Rui may not have privileges in the world's top journals, but it is natural to get privileges when he occasionally gets involved in the botany community.
In a few days, social media reported the "Zhang Fei's Blue Thorn Head".
So, recently, the media that had been wanting to interview Yang Rui and asked him about the Nobel Prize, suddenly realized that good guy, no wonder he couldn't find Yang Rui. This guy turned out to be gone to the wild.
If you want to go out to the wild, you will go out to the wild. If you avoid media, you will see fewer ordinary people, but are there fewer media reporters?
However, if a normal person runs away, he will never find a new species no matter how he thinks.
Moreover, was the new species named "Zhang Fei"?
Do you want to hide your identity from the media? Or do you seduce the media to interview?
The reporters were deeply thinking.
