At six o'clock in the afternoon, the office became cold.
Wang Hao made an appointment with Zhou Qingyuan to have dinner together. He wanted to consult about the submission of a mathematics paper. He packed up his things and was about to leave.
When Yan Jing saw Wang Hao was leaving, she also stood up.
When she heard Wang Hao talk about things like 'submission' and 'printing fees' before, she thought that Wang Hao might have 'no money'. The school did have subsidies for publishing papers, but it was only for ordinary SCI publications.
You will lose a lot of money.
If you have a paper, it is impossible not to publish it.
However, there were other people in the office, and Yan Jing was shy and embarrassed to ask, so she simply gritted her teeth and followed them out.
As soon as Wang Hao walked out of the door to the corridor, he happened to meet Zhu Ping walking out of the elevator. He said hello, "Sister Zhu, let's go."
"Wang Hao, don't leave yet!"
Zhu Ping stopped him and asked bluntly, "I heard you talk about the submission this afternoon. Are you short of money recently?" She patted her chest and smiled, "If you need money, tell me, no need."
Find someone else. After working for so many years, I still have some wealth."
Wang Hao was immediately moved and said, "Sister Zhu, thank you. I am not short of money for the time being. If I really need it in the future, I will definitely come to you."
"no problem."
Zhu Ping walked towards the office with a smile. She saw Yan Jing standing at the door and asked in confusion, "Xiaoyan, what are you doing standing here?"
Yan Jing was alert, her face turned red and she quickly said, "I'm getting ready to leave too."
Zhu Ping looked at Yan Jing, then thought of Wang Hao who had just left, her eyes flashed a little narrowly, and she asked loudly, "I thought you were eavesdropping on us!"
Yan Jing quickly waved her hand, "No, no."
She immediately realized that Zhu Ping was joking. The two of them spoke so loudly that they were not afraid of others hearing them.
Suddenly, his face turned red, he picked up his things and left.
…
Wang Hao left the comprehensive office building and went to the restaurant on the west side of the school. After waiting for a short time, he saw Zhou Qingyuan.
Zhou Qingyuan was working with doctoral students, and was wasted some time doing the guidance. When he arrived, he immediately asked, "Wang Hao, from your tone, it sounds like something is wrong?"
Wang Hao and Zhou Qingyuan were very familiar with each other, so he said directly without exchanging pleasantries, "I have three mathematics papers to submit, and I would like your opinion."
"English, SCI?"
Zhou Qingyuan asked with surprise. He knew it was SCI as soon as he heard it. If it was a submission to a small domestic magazine, there was no need to ask him.
Wang Hao nodded.
Even though he had determined the answer, Zhou Qingyuan was still very surprised, "Three articles? Finished? What's the content?"
Wang Hao gave a simple explanation.
The three articles are all related to "non-homogeneous equations" and are also basic research in pure mathematics.
After Zhou Qingyuan listened to a few sentences, he was sure it was true. He also thought in the same direction in one of the studies, but he did a lot of research. He studied a small idea of solving equations, but gave up without getting any results.
Now when he heard Wang Hao talk about completing the research, he knew that there must be no problem. After listening carefully to the content of the research, he gave a suggestion, "If you can submit to a better journal, you must choose a better one."
"The general solution article is the most meaningful. You can try to submit it to the top journal. Others can be submitted to small journals affiliated with foreign universities, such as journals."
Zhou Qingyuan analyzed it carefully and continued, "Solve it in general, refine the content, and I'll have a chance to get it into the top journal."
"The other two articles have little chance, but they can still be included in SCI. Just find an affiliated journal and submit them. The review is quick and the publishing fee is low."
"For the general solution article, I suggest you vote for "Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations". The impact factor is not high, but it is very authoritative in the field of differential equations and has a relatively high index rate."
The "top journals" mentioned by Zhou Qingyuan are classified by "authority in professional fields". "Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations" can be ranked among the top thirty international journals in the field of basic mathematical research, and can be ranked among the top in the field of differential equations alone.
five.
This can already be regarded as the ‘top journal’ in mathematics.
In the academic field, the impact factor is not the only criterion for judging the benefits of a journal, because the impact factor will be limited by the ‘type’.
For example, medical and applied journals tend to have higher impact factors.
Mixed-type journals, such as Nature and Science, have no definite type classification and their impact factors are also operated very high. They have long occupied the top 20 impact factors of international journals.
Journals that focus solely on unpopular subjects will have relatively low impact factors.
Basic mathematics is an unpopular category.
Just think about one question and you'll understand, "Except those who are obsessed with studying basic mathematics, who will read a paper on a specific method of solving equations?"
After meal.
Wang Hao and Zhou Qingyuan walked out of the restaurant together.
When they were about to leave, Zhou Qingyuan suddenly asked, "Wang Hao, it costs a lot of money to submit an article. If you need money, just ask me."
Wang Hao said with some embarrassment, "No need for now. Thank you very much. You have helped me enough."
Zhou Qingyuan nodded to Wang Hao, then turned around and walked away, unable to help but smile on his face.
It was he who invited Wang Hao to Xihai University.
Now seeing that Wang Hao has been able to complete three papers, all of which are up to SCI level, is enough to show his vision. When other people talk about this matter, they may say that he is very visionary and has recruited mathematical geniuses to Xihai University.
He has always believed in Wang Hao and hoped that Wang Hao could stay.
The publication of these three papers was enough to convince the school to renew Wang Hao's contract. With Wang Hao's ability level, there is no problem at all in being promoted to associate professor in two years.
In fact, many people at Xihai University hope that Wang Hao will stay.
Because, ability.
The fact that a 23-year-old Ph.D. student from Donggang University can be directly retained by Donggang University speaks volumes about his ability.
As for the so-called ‘scientific research stain’…
From a big perspective, it caused huge financial losses, but from a small perspective, it was nothing more than a calculation and analysis error.
No one who does research can be 100% guaranteed to be error-free.
In addition, only those involved in the research know how things happened and whether Wang Hao was the first person responsible. News media reports and Donggang’s statements to the outside may not necessarily be credible.
…
On the other side, Wang Hao returned home.
Opposite door, living room.
Gu Youyou lay on the sofa with an expressionless face and kept mumbling, "So, he doesn't even know my name..."
"Li Youyou..."
"At that time, I was dead!"
Li Qian stood at the door and couldn't help laughing. She opened the peephole again and looked out, then said, "You just think too much. When I think about it carefully, it seems that I just introduced his name once in the elevator.
It’s normal if you can’t remember.”
"You still speak for him?"
"Of course I helped you, but today also proved that he really didn't pay attention to... us." She was going to say 'you', but considering Gu Youyou's feelings, she simply said 'we', referring to herself.
Put it in.
In fact, Li Qian felt a little gloating in her heart.
The handsome guy across from me, a young doctoral lecturer of the same age, definitely didn't like me, but he didn't like Gu Youyou either.
It’s a tie!
At this time, the elevator and footsteps came out of the corridor. Li Qian immediately looked through the peephole, turned around and exclaimed with some excitement, "He's back, he's back!"
Gu Youyou jumped up and went to the bathroom to freshen up and dress up. She also wore small leather shoes that were a little tight on her feet and made a "tap, stomp" sound when she stepped on the ground.
Li Qian waited with a dark face.
Finally, Gu Youyou walked out, found the book and homework questions, opened the door and walked to the opposite side.
Wang Hao opened the door and asked doubtfully, "You guys?"
"Teacher Wang, let's ask a question." Gu Youyou stared into Wang Hao's eyes and said seriously.
They were indeed here to answer questions, but their mood when facing Wang Hao was obviously different from yesterday.
"come in!"
Wang Hao was very enthusiastic towards the students. After letting them in, he carefully answered the questions they didn't understand.
Later I discovered the problem between the two of them.
Li Qian's foundation was worse and she simply couldn't understand a lot of the content; Gu Youyou always had trouble getting around difficulties when she encountered them.
In the final conclusion, neither of them are suitable for mathematics majors.
He didn't say it outright. After all, most students go to graduate school just to get a diploma and find a job.
After a series of explanations, Gu Youyou and Li Qian got up and left.
Wang Hao didn't go out to see him off either.
Suddenly, Gu Youyou turned back, winked at Wang Hao, and said with a quiet smile, "By the way, my name is Gu Youyou."
"Oh~~~"
Wang Hao was really shocked, and the words that followed, "My name is Li Qian," were automatically ignored.
After the door was closed, he immediately reflected seriously, "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, women will only affect my determination to pursue my career!"
