Chapter 212 The Wife Is From Middle School
Tu Xian stayed up all night, revised the paper's writing and sent it out. Because it did not involve the content, the editor of the journal decided to wait directly after reading it.
In less than a week, Tu Xian received a fax for the paper to be approved.
This is an indescribable happiness. It doesn't make people shout out, or jump up and revel in, but it feels worth eating what you usually don't want to eat, drinking two more glasses than usual, and indulging for a few more hours than before, as if you are forced to reward yourself.
Tu Xian did all of this.
He took out all the cash from the drawer, and in a small restaurant outside the school gate, he drank a pound of white wine, ate four large bowls of rice, and a large basin of boiled meat slices.
The boiled meat slices were tender and tough. Even the cabbage inside was sprayed with a faint aroma of oil. Tu Xian felt hot all over and his face was full of happiness.
And that bottle of Erguotou solidified his sense of happiness on his face.
Tu Xian was deeply drunk.
The next day, he taught the students, returned to the office, thought for a long time, went to mail, and sent a telegram to his classmates studying in London, asking about the reviewers of "Biochemical System Ecology".
Information in journals is usually open and transparent, and the two-way anonymity measures of reviewers and contributors are only valid during the review period. Reviewer information is available before and after.
In some journals, contributors often require them to select reviewers themselves. Of course, editors may not necessarily allocate according to the requirements of contributors, but this system itself can give a bottom line that allows editors to allocate to appropriate reviewers if they are not sure of the research field of the paper.
There are always some Chinese who are qualified to be reviewers of foreign journals, but there are not many reviewers who narrow the scope to the journal "Biochemical System Ecology".
In fact, in mainland China, Biochemical System Ecology only identified three reviewers. In contrast, Hong Kong had six reviewers at this time and Japan had more than 80 reviewers.
Tu Xian only had the list and contact information of the mainland. Among these three people, one was in Beijing, one was in Wuhan, and the other was in Nanhu City, Hedong Province...
Tu Xian knew people from Beijing and were an associate researcher at the Institute of Biology. They were equivalent to the title of associate professor. They were considered to be the best among their peers. Tu Xian’s resources were far inferior to others, and he didn’t think the two could cooperate, so he wrote two letters, one to Wuhan and the other to Hedong.
The letter was sent out, and Tu Xian became a little sober and felt that he had done something meaningless.
If you can be a reviewer of SCI journals, there will be no fixed cooperative researchers? Maybe there will be a team below.
However, it is just a waste of stamp money.
Tu Xian quickly left the letter behind, thinking about the team every day, and working happily.
Being an associate professor can lead your own team. Although there are still only one or two people, and often students are still trying to help you, it is a team after all. If you can put your name on it, you will also have a high-quality assessment and finance, which is beautiful to think about.
In the Chinese academic community, being an associate professor is the beginning of a researcher. Before that, they were just handymen in the research community.
However, when Tu Xian did not expect the reply, the reply appeared unexpectedly.
"Yang Rui, Xibao Middle School, Xibao Town, Xibao Town, Xi County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province..." Tu Xian suddenly felt familiar as he read this long name.
"Which journal has ever seen this name?" Tu Xian had a very good memory and was quite confident. He can still remember the main content of every book he read during his student days and connect it linearly. It is rare for him to remember the name but not sure.
Tu Xian took the letter and went straight to the library. With his vague memories, he dug out the journal he had read recently, looking for Yang Rui's name.
Soon, the pinyin of Lu iyang came into Tu Xian's eyes.
"No wonder it seems familiar." Tu Xian suddenly realized. There is no specific address description in foreign journals. It is composed of only two pinyin, making it difficult to generate an impression.
"Look for me about this author's paper." Tu Xian waved and called a student who was helping the library and asked him to find the search card.
Now there is no computer search, the library uses cards to search.
The cards are made of white paper the size of a palm, placed in drawers, with the title of the book, the author's name, the introduction, etc., arranged in alphabetical order. When you need to find information, turning cards is a more efficient way than turning books.
It's just a little boring.
The students who worked part-time in the library were familiar with the location of the cards, and they found it faster. After a while, they took out more than a dozen cards and handed them to Tu Xian.
"So many?" Tu Xianxiao was surprised. If he was a university professor in Beijing, he had more than a dozen SCI papers, it would be normal, but Hedong Province...
Tu Xian doesn’t know much about that place, but in terms of the current resource allocation in China, the research level in Hedong Province is really lower than one level.
"If this is a big shot in Hedong, cooperation will be a bit ridiculous." Tu Xian looked at the card and handed it to the counter.
"There are 8 books in total." The teacher in the library tore the list and asked Tu Xian to fill it in. Then he put the card away, put the list in the small elevator behind him, and pressed the button.
The so-called elevator is just the size of two milk boxes. The documents will be sent to the library upstairs or downstairs. The staff inside will find the books on the list, use a supermarket-style trolley to the elevator, and then send them back to the search room and hand them over to the borrower.
This process can be long or short. Tu Xian saw a thick stack of journals before he could wait too long.
"Biochemical System Ecology" was expected by Tu Xian, but the weight of the paper was still something Tu Xian did not expect. Papers with two or three thousand words are not published by journals after you write them. There is no certain popularity or trust, and there is no strong recommendation from reviewers. Editors usually require the number of words to be controlled within the appropriate range. Those legendary non-sounding will be a shocking hit, and it is just a legend. Even Einstein's papers have to be questioned countless times, so what papers can guarantee that they must be masterpieces.
Tu Xian read it for more than two hours before he finished reading all these papers.
Some papers he has read before, but he has not paid attention to the author.
Now it feels quite interesting.
After reading "Biochemical System Ecology", there are several issues of "Acs Chemical Biology". When Tu Xian saw the cover, he took a deep breath.
If "Biochemical System Ecology" is an entry-level journal of SCI, "Acs Chemical Biology" is an intermediate journal. The influencing factor of about 4.5 can be rated as an associate professor, and it cannot be used until the age of 40.
Tu Xian rarely read this journal in the past because it is more difficult and is far from his own research. If you are looking for research hotspots, you will naturally have other choices.
However, it would be quite amazing if people around them could make such papers.
Tu Xian couldn't help it anymore, so he spread out the draft paper on the spot and wrote the letter.
The next day.
The reply letter was modified by Tu Xian and sent to Xibao Middle School, Xibao Town, Xibao Town, Xibao County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province.
Tu Xian felt that Yang Rui must live in a middle school, and maybe his wife was from a middle school...
"Maybe he can be invited to teach at Beijing Iron and Steel College. The school is about to establish a biology department. If you take out a teaching position with equal titles, plus a Beijing household registration to solve your wife's work... a dormitory, you should still have a chance." Tu Xian made a secret plan.
