Gu Qunqing's 'interview' process went very smoothly. Within just a few hours, Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing easily reached an initial agreement.
Of course.
Whether this intention can eventually be transformed into the final COO position will take some time.
Firstly, Gu Qunqing's non-competition agreement has not completely expired, and secondly, more reliable results must be released to dispel Gu Qunqing's last concerns.
The most intuitive result of this result is...
paper.
At this moment.
After washing, Xu Yun sat in a chair. On the computer screen in front of him was a paper that had been written for most of the time:
"Study on the specific interaction mechanism of common pheromone binding proteins with sex pheromones and imidacloprid".
"The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether ethyl acetate = 20:1) to obtain colorless oily liquid (3Z, 6Z, 9S, 10R)-9,10-epoxy-3,6-eicosandios
Tian Liangwei's previous words were indeed not bragging. The day after Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing separated, a letter from the other side of the ocean was sent to Xu Yun's personal mailbox.
The beginning of this letter was not a snarky comment like "Hello, I am a netizen from northern China." It was a rather formal invitation letter for a paper.
From the famous "NUCLEICACIDSRES".
The Chinese name of "NUCLEICA CIDSRES" is "Nucleic Acid Research", which was founded by Oxford University in 1974.
Even though it has the word "nucleic acid" in its name, it actually covers a very wide range of areas.
Relevant results in chemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, and molecular biology can all be published on it. The current impact factor has reached 13.8, making it a proper journal in the first area.
Most of the time, this magazine will be referred to as NAR. If it is not easy to remember, you can start from the perspective of NTR:
The T in the middle is changed from NTR to A, and it becomes NAR.
The tone of this invitation letter from NAR is very polite, almost like we sincerely invite you to contribute, which makes people feel comfortable.
However, polite words remain polite, even if it is a paper invited by a core journal, it cannot avoid preliminary review.
At most, the external review will be faster.
Xu Yun started preparing the manuscript as early as the day when the fifth generation imidacloprid was successfully developed. In addition, Xu Yun has extremely rich experience in publishing papers.
Therefore, when I received the invitation letter from NAR, the paper had almost reached the final stage.
"References..."
"A news synthesis of the sex expheromone of cockroach cunea from 1-bromoundecane was developed. The procedure includes 11 steps, and the overallyieldsis 14%. Further more.
Xu Yun finished translating the last paragraph in English and exhaled a long breath.
There are 223 pages of content and the size is 6.43mb.
Even though most of them are data reports that have been compiled by the laboratory, the whole process still took a lot of effort from Xu Yun.
He then packaged the paper as an attachment and sent it to Tian Liangwei's mailbox.
Although Xu Yun is already familiar with the format of the paper, he still has to go through this process. At least he has to ask his supervisor to check for seriousness, right?
The time is now approaching seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Yun originally thought that he would not get a reply from Tian Liangwei until tomorrow at the earliest, but he did not expect that his WeChat voice message rang an hour later.
The person who came was surprisingly Tian Liangwei.
Xu Yun quickly clicked the call button:
"teacher?"
"Well, it's me."
Tian Liangwei's voice came slowly from the microphone. Judging from the faint sounds of children playing in the background, his teacher was probably watching TV in his living room at this time:
"Xiao Xu, I just read your paper. Overall, there is nothing wrong with it. The plagiarism check rate of 1.2% fully meets the requirements. But what is the first article you cited in References?"
Xu Yun scratched his hair and chuckled:
"Wouldn't this increase the number of citations for your paper by the way? Moreover, part of the inspiration for the specific receptor protein did come from your paper. We should not avoid relatives when we recommend talents."
"You...you always like to come up with new tricks for me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tian Liangwei's semantics may seem a bit accusatory, but it can be heard from his tone that this academician is in a pretty good mood at this time.
Tian Liangwei is now one of the top five biological authorities in China. The number of citations of a paper is basically insignificant, let alone flattery or bribery.
But this kind of action was done by his own students, which was undoubtedly quite heart-warming. Then he paused and continued:
"Xiao Xu, this paper is very standardized. I have no other opinions. Please proofread the other details again. If there are no problems, please send it as soon as possible.
I have already contacted NAR, and the person responsible for the external review is an Iberian biomedical expert named Morten L. Grobe."
When Xu Yun heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows:
"Morten L. Grobe? The one who won the Lasker Award?"
"Well, that's him. He can be said to be one of the authorities in synthetic biology in the world. If he is the external reviewer, the gold content of the paper after it is passed should be higher, but at the same time, the threshold for passing the review will also be higher. Can you
To convince him depends on the quality of your paper."
The Lasker Award, whose full name is the Albert Lasker Medical Research Award, is also an award second only to the Nobel Prize in the medical field.
This award is also called a Nobel Prize reserve. Without extraordinary abilities and achievements, let alone winning, there is no chance of being nominated for gold plating.
To be able to invite such a Lasker Award winner to serve as an external reviewer for a doctoral student like Xu Yun's thesis, Tian Liangwei's expense of favors would probably not be small.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help but sigh.
He silently remembered this matter in his heart, briefly chatted with Tian Liangwei for a while, and then hung up the phone.
Then he returned to the computer again, proofread the paper again, and sent the text and extended data through the submission system.
Students who have published papers should know this.
Under normal circumstances, a paper goes through a long process from submission to publication.
After you upload the file in the submission system, if Accept appears, it means that the first step is completed.
After the article is accepted, the journal will contact the author to proofread the manuscript, which is the Proof stage. I don’t know how many people in the country have been tortured to death by this process. It is normal for some unlucky people to even stagnate in this stage for half a year.
After Proof is over, Payment usually comes. As you can see from the three letters "pay", this is a link to pay the page fee.
After you pay the ticket, the final stage is the publication meeting, also called online.
The entire submission process can be said to be simple or complex.
Xu Yun’s paper was submitted through the channel attached to the manuscript invitation letter, so the word ‘accepted’ appeared in the system soon. If nothing unexpected happens, it will enter the proof stage within two or three days.
Then Xu Yun stretched himself leisurely and was about to play two games of Four Kingdoms Army Chess.
However, at this moment, a notification tone suddenly came from the cell phone nearby.
Xu Yun opened it and found a WeChat friend request:
Keep it mysterious: I saw it on Weibo and bought the film.
Keep it mysterious: ...Hello, I am Lin Zhennan, a reporter from the Propaganda Department of HKUST. Can you pretend you didn’t see the above article?
