"The paper is good, I have to read it for a while." Professor Fu finished reading the quotation carefully and sat down.

The main text alone has 20 pages of paper, which is much harder to read than a short story with multiple pages. Professor Fu is an expert in the same field, so he has to read it bit by bit before he can understand the content of the article.

Zhong Zhiwen, the experimental dog standing behind him, was in a miserable state. Because his English was not up to standard, he read Yang Rui's papers and read the books of heaven. He naturally knew ordinary English words, but for such a paper, ordinary English words were like embellishments.

In fact, there are many people who encounter the same problems.

With Professor Fu at the beginning, many teachers and researchers from the biology department around him asked for a single book and started reading on the side of the basketball court.

However, most people can't watch it for a few minutes and go out to wander.

Confident English is good, and there is no necessary connection with being able to understand English papers. Many students who can only order food in foreign restaurants with "this, this, thank-you" can also read English papers at a glance. In a certain aspect, papers are more like slander in the scientific community, and formats have certain rules.

If you are a student who has received sufficient essay training, when you read the paper, you can browse it and skim it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is rare words. If you don’t understand it, you can search it, and it won’t take much effort.

However, students who have not received sufficient thesis training are like gangsters who have never entered a serious gang. Even if they memorize various rare words, they will still be afraid when they are in a big scene.

By 30 years later, the slightly normal professors at key universities all emerged from thousands of troops. I don’t know how much competition I have experienced, and it is easy to train students’ academic abilities. Second-tier graduate supervisors are a little more difficult, but if you just arrange the training, there is still no problem.

Professors and researchers at top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University are even more powerful. Although the "Yangtze River Scholar Award Program" and "Thousand Talents Program" that have been carried out for many years have been criticized, it has indeed introduced a large number of overseas talents to the backward China. These people may not be top-notch in the world, but compared with Chinese-based inbreeding scholars, they can be regarded as a ray of fresh air.

But in the 1980s, that was not the case at all. In terms of age, the associate professors around 40 years old are young, but 40-year-olds were born in the 1940s, studied in the 1950s, and went to college in the 1960s. At that time, the teaching order was completely disrupted. Whether they could learn skills, or whether they could access the world's most advanced scientific research progress, was basically all based on self-study and inefficient.

The experience of professors in their fifties and sixties was also very difficult. They were born in the 1920s and 1930s, grew up in the war years, studied, and then faced the situation of being in ruins at the beginning of the founding of the country. In terms of professional technology, these scholars have sufficient opportunities. Countless new factories, technological transformation, bridge and road construction, etc. have given similar college students the opportunity to stand alone. However, basic science is not only technology, but the high academic requirements are often more hidden. When they lay a solid foundation, when they reach middle age and start to rejuvenate academic spring, the academic soil has been acidified.

Nowadays, better professors at Peking University, such as Tang Jiji, went to Southwest Associated University when he was studying, visited the Soviet Union after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and maintained a minimum limit of scientific research for more than ten years, so that he could barely stay in the world's mainstream scientific research world.

Those who cannot persist, those who are unable to learn by themselves, or those who are not lucky can only play in the domestic scientific research circle. They will be complacent if they do some repetitive research that is world-class and domestic.

If it is a study of burying old paper piles like literature, history, geography, and pure theoretical research such as mathematics and physics, it would be fine. Natural science like biology, which is piled up with money, can only give a few people the opportunity. This is the case with poor China, the wealthy China, and the United States, Japan and Europe in the sea of ​​gold and silver.

As for political cadres like President Liu, judging whether the paper is good or bad, they almost count pages.

Only a few dozen teachers or researchers can seriously read Yang Rui's papers.

This is when you are at Peking University. If you change to the biology department of a local college, you may even save money to subscribe to "CELL". Anyway, no one reads it. It would be better to subscribe to a few more copies of "People's Daily" to make people happy./p>

Yang Rui sat on the table without any pressure. His paper had been published. For him, the most difficult part had been completed, and the rest was the difference between how many flowers were added on the cake.

At this time, the atmosphere of the May 4th Basketball Court began to become weird.

On the one hand, the basketball game that had just ended soon was released, and a large amount of hormones and smelly sweat left behind hundreds of students and a stirring atmosphere that had not yet calmed down.

On the other hand, the empty basketball court surrounded by tables, chairs and benches was filled with curious people, people next to each other, but they were quiet as if they were taking an exam.

Although I was still cheering for the strength of my muscles just now, what students believe most is brain power.

Peking University students are all beneficiaries of knowledge. If there is a knowledge sect, then Peking University students are still devout believers, even if they are not crazy believers.

The silent environment not only does not make people uncomfortable, but instead arouses the students' strong curiosity.

"Can you give me a book?" A student squeezed in, breaking the silence.

"Xu Anqing? Well... there is another book here." Yang Rui gave him a single book.

Xu Anqing thanked him softly and lowered his head to look carefully.

The basketball court returned to silence, and only the rustling sound of the wind swept across the court.

Like Professor Fu, Xu Anqing also wanted to know how big the gap between the two sides was. He couldn't wait to open the paper, stared at the first author and corresponding author "rui-yang", for a few seconds, and then read it quickly.

As the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Xu Anqing's path is more smooth than most people. As far as academics are concerned, he joined Richard's experiment in his freshman year, and he can be said to be ahead of all Peking University students.

Like any other resource-intensive industry, the academic world is also a world where the strong are stronger and the strong are stronger.

The best students can get the best education, the best education can get the most resources, the most resources can get the most results, and the most results in turn stimulate more investment.

At Peking University, ordinary students usually only get involved in research work until their junior year and senior year. In the next one or two years, they have to do their best to get the paper they want. The level of the paper is actually largely determined by the level of the scientific research group they join.

The reason why Ivy League universities have been prosperous is not only because they can choose the best students, but because they can provide the best education, thus setting the best students apart from the second-best students.

Xu Anqing has already obtained the best conditions. If... if Richard's laboratory develops smoothly, he will be qualified to study abroad at the University of Berkeley, and in the biology field, graduates from the University of Berkeley in California can undoubtedly strive for the best institutions or companies and receive the greatest attention and salary.

Even if he was unable to be called a king and a saint in the end, Xu Anqing could easily become a golden class in the biological science community. If he didn't want to stay in the United States, many domestic universities and research institutions would sing "Beijing Welcomes You" to pick him up, and he would provide him with tens of millions of settlement fees with both hands, and millions of dollars in research funds each year for you to use.

The failure of Richard's laboratory was a heavy blow to Xu Anqing, causing him to fall from being ahead of other students for five or six years to being ahead of other students for two or three years.

However, the lead is the lead after all. The exhausting experience in Richard's laboratory brought Xu Anqing great confidence. He originally believed that after working hard for a few years, he would still have the chance to catch up with Yang Rui and bridge the gap again.

Until the paper from CELL appeared on the basketball court.

This guy actually received a paper from "CELL" while playing basketball. Xu Anqing didn't know that he should criticize him for wasting his time? Or did he envy his good luck...

"It should be good luck... Maybe, maybe there is some information, but the fact that data is so easy is bound to be made is bound to be lucky..." Xu Anqing commented in his heart while looking through the paper.

He participated in the scientific research competition in Richard's laboratory throughout the process, and was not familiar with mutagenesis and mutation genes, as well as testing the function of potassium channels.

However, the familiar and unfamiliar and proficient experimental processes, skillful computing skills, and mature theoretical logic are defeating Xu Anqing's confidence bit by bit.

It is also defeating Professor Fu's confidence.

The paper is a collection of slander for outsiders, but should be concise and concise for insiders.

Professor Fu is working on RNA precursors, and his English level is also good, so it is not difficult to understand Yang Rui's paper.

But if you understand it, you will feel that this project is really difficult.

It is difficult to see the instruments and materials used, and it feels distressed; it is difficult to see the experimental process that obviously requires trial and error, and it feels painful; it is difficult to see the large amount of data calculations and theoretical derivation, and it feels troublesome.

"Is this thing possible in half a year?" Professor Fu will have this problem in his mind every time he reads a few pages of the paper.

When he first got the paper, Professor Fu wanted to make Yang Rui feel uncomfortable, but after he finished reading the paper, the anger accumulated by Professor Fu several times was almost exhausted.

Only intense jealousy is burning.

"If this paper was mine, it would be great..." Seeing the end of the paper, looking at the hundreds of references, Professor Fu was already full of imagination.

"Director Cai is here!" A scream broke the silence on the court and made the discussion burst out:

"Director Cai is a member of the academic department of the Academy of Sciences, why did he come here in person?" The students in the outer circle could not see the paper itself, and had a strong gossip and could only go to people.

The biology students present immediately gave the best answer at the moment: "Because this is "cell".

"I don't know if the academic committee members have published "CELL."

"Director Cai has published "Natural", and the impact factor of "NATURE" is also high enough."

"What is the impact factor?" The basketball team guard from Ethnology put the ball on his shoulder and rolled left and right, perfectly interpreting the leisure spirit.

The students in the Department of Biology were influenced by the previous atmosphere, but they explained seriously: "The impact factor of a journal is the sum of the citations of all papers in the past two years of a journal, divided by the total number of papers published by the journal in the past two years."

"oh……"

"The impact factor of CELL is over 30 years. However, when you apply for papers like CELL, the important thing is no longer its impact factor, but the number of citations. There are many citations that a good paper can get in "CELL".

“Isn’t the impact factor calculated the average?”

"That's because CELL no longer cares about the impact factor, so there are often short papers with one or two pages. Look at the single-line version Yang Rui took out so thick. It's not difficult to count 50 citations for such papers. Do you know how many citations the papers published in Nature that year?"

"How many?"

"It was more than 500 back then, and there will be about 100 citations every year, which lasted for several years." A boy from the Department of Biology sighed: "If I had a paper that could have more than 100 citations in my life, I would have no regrets when I died!"
