The top journals mentioned by Wang Hao and Li Ming are not top journals in the actual sense, but refer to ‘discipline core journals’.
There are two ranking methods for international academic magazines.
One is to roughly rank by the value of the 'impact factor'. The three major journals "Nature", "Science" and "Cell" have long occupied the top positions of the 'impact factor', and they are considered to be of 'practical significance'.
Top issue'.
This ranking method is very inaccurate. It does not mean that papers published in top journals are better than other papers, because most papers in top journals belong to the "social science" or "natural science" category.
It is difficult to say that social science or natural science papers will be more meaningful than professional science and engineering papers.
Different types cannot be compared.
Another ranking method is to classify by subject. Professional subject journals that can enter the ranks of subject classification, and can be ranked in the top dozens of subjects, are often considered to be "discipline core journals".
This division method is more professional and meaningful.
For example, the number of research papers on basic mathematics is very rare compared to other types, and the impact factors of professional mathematics magazines are generally not high.
The first-ranked professional mathematics journal last year had an impact factor of only '17', while the second-ranked journal dropped directly to '6'. The impact factors of most core mathematics journals were only between '1' and '3'.
.
Of course.
Even if it is divided by subject classification, it is impossible to be accurate. For example, mathematics is recognized as one of the four top journals. Because it publishes fewer papers, the impact factor will be much smaller. Mathematics subject rankings have always been outside the top ten.
.
"Computer Mathematics and Information Engineering" belongs to the mathematics computer category, belongs to the information, and computer category list. Last year's impact factor was '11', ranking among the top ten subjects.
That, of course, belongs to the ‘core discipline journals’.
Papers that can often be published in "core journals of a subject" can be called "very good", and the difficulty of publishing them is also very high.
Xihai University has more than 2,000 faculty and staff, including more than 700 professors and associate professors. Last year, it published more than 2,300 SCI papers, of which only more than 500 were in "core subject journals."
Among the more than 500 papers in "core subject journals", social sciences and natural sciences account for the highest proportion, reaching more than 70%.
There are more than 100 articles in the application category, followed by the engineering category.
Mathematics, physics and other basic science research papers have the smallest number of research papers, only a dozen or so, and they are still published in journals with subject rankings at the end.
Wang Hao's "Fourier Transform" related paper is a mathematical computer paper and can be classified in the application category and engineering category.
Xihai University has a faculty team of more than 2,000 people, with more than 700 professors and associate professors. The number of engineering "core journals" papers in a year is only more than 100, and Wang Hao contributed three in one breath.
As you can imagine...
When Li Ming confirmed the news, he would be so shocked and excited.
When Li Ming called Zhu Jianrong, Zhu Jianrong thought Li Ming was crazy when he heard the news, and asked him several times before confirming that the news was true.
Zhu Jianrong immediately went to the school's science and technology office.
Then, he and Li Ming browsed the web page together and carefully read the new issue of information released by "Computer Mathematics and Information Engineering".
"The application expansion of Fourier transform, Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical model data analysis algorithm (1), Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical model data analysis algorithm (2)..."
"There are really three articles!"
"There is only one author, Wang Hao, and his unit is Xihai University, that's right!"
"It should be true!"
"This is a talent... no, a genius!"
Li Ming nodded vigorously and said with some pride, "I have known for a long time that Wang Hao is a genius. I interviewed him. When he applied for the project, I gave it to him directly. He must be able to do it!"
Zhu Jianrong nodded, "However, don't spread this news yet. We don't know the specific content of the paper yet, and we can't download it when ordering online."
"Wait a little longer and wait until you're sure!"
…
Zhu Jianrong and Li Ming had a good discussion, saying that they should keep the news secret first and not let it out. However, when there is big news that "does not need to be kept secret", the desire to share it is simply uncontrollable.
Only ten minutes later, Zhou Qingyuan learned the news.
That's what Li Ming said.
Li Ming thought that Zhou Qingyuan recommended Wang Hao to come to Xihai University. He thought Zhou Qingyuan had known about it for a long time, so he shared it with him and discussed it.
The same goes for Zhu Jianrong. He believes that sharing "big news" with colleagues is not a big deal, as long as everyone doesn't tell it.
Then, Ying Wei, deputy dean of the School of Science, found out.
And then……
Wang Hao was sure that he would get the school's bonus, and he naturally felt very comfortable. He put several papers on the topic of "Partial Differential Equations", studied uploading, application and other operational issues, and then went to the classroom as usual.
Lecture is over.
When the class ended, it was almost twelve o'clock.
He went to the restaurant to pack a lunch box, then returned to the office and planned to submit the application.
It's the beginning of the month and wages will be paid soon.
Wang Hao hopes to get the paper subsidy as soon as possible. If he misses the salary payment period, he will have to wait until next month.
At noon, the office was very lively.
Yan Jing talked about the problems encountered in experimental research. The aging measurement values of laboratory equipment are not accurate, and it is difficult to apply for the purchase of new equipment.
Several people comforted him and helped him find solutions.
Zhang Zhiqiang said that he could try to write a report and then apply for a 'Youth Gene Project', so that he could have money to buy new equipment. As he talked about the problem of applying for the project, the topic turned to thesis and 'professional title improvement'.
There was a lecturer in the office next to him named Zhao Chunliang, a graduate tutor, who praised Zhang Zhiqiang a few times.
Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to be a little carried away, and started to talk eloquently on the topic of 'professional title promotion', "My experience is that if you have a core paper, apply for a project, and the tenure is two or three years, you can be promoted to associate professor without any problem."
Zhao Chunliang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Like Zhu Ping, he had an institutional contract, had a doctorate, and had published a core paper.
I have been working for more than four years and have not been promoted to associate professor.
The 'experience' Zhang Zhiqiang talks about is nothing different from expelling foul-smelling gases.
Everyone in the office is used to it.
Yan Jing and Luo Dayong listened happily, while Zhu Ping's expressions clearly showed dissatisfaction and disdain.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
A female teacher wearing glasses shouted, "Deputy Dean Ying is here, as well as Director Zhu from Academic Affairs, Director Li, and several other leaders. I heard them say 'associate professor'. Someone in your office mentioned associate professor."
Already?"
Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly stood up and said, "You should be here to find me."
Others also nodded.
If I were to mention associate professor, it could only be Zhang Zhiqiang.
Zhang Zhiqiang simply stood at the door and waited. He looked towards the stairs and saw a group of leaders walking over.
Zhu Jianrong walked at the front and saw Zhang Zhiqiang waiting at the door.
He glanced at the room number of the office and confirmed that it was this office. He immediately grabbed Zhang Zhiqiang's hand enthusiastically and said excitedly, "Young man, you are a talent! A real talent!"
"We have just discussed that we will apply to upgrade your professional title as soon as the semester is over. Xihai University attaches great importance to talents. Special talents like you do not need to be limited by seniority or teaching years. Special talents are treated specially.
Something special needs to be done!”
"Thank you! Thank you for the leadership's affirmation!" Zhang Zhiqiang's face was filled with excitement.
A group of people gathered around.
Zhu Jianrong hugged Zhang Zhiqiang's shoulders intimately, "This is not a compliment, I am telling the truth. Wang Hao, your name is well-accepted, majestic, majestic and everlasting, vast... the word 'hao'...
"
As he spoke, the scene became quiet.
People around him stopped talking, and the young man in his arms stopped smiling.
what happened?
Zhu Jianrong looked around with confusion.
Zhou Qingyuan came over and pulled down his clothes, suppressed a laugh and reminded in a low voice, "He is not Wang Hao..."
"——?"
Zhu Jianrong's face turned dark immediately.
Zhang Zhiqiang froze on the spot. He looked at the people around him and felt a kind of embarrassment called "social death".
