Chapter 15 The Golden Autumn Camp and the Physics National Competition
Chapter 15 Golden Autumn Camp and the National Finals in Physics
"It's a small matter. Leave the paper here with me first. I'll call you after you've corrected it."
Xu Cheng smiled and put on his glasses again.
"By the way, which journal are you going to submit this paper to?"
"Submit for "Progress in Physics"."
"In addition, this paper was instructed by you, the teacher, so please sign it with your name."
Xu Chuan pondered for a moment and said that he was really not very familiar with domestic journals. In his previous life, he only wrote papers after going to college.
However, as Xu Cheng said, domestic journals vary in quality, and even the top journals have only the same impact factor. Although the importance of this paper is not very high, it is still his hard work.
Therefore, if you can submit to top foreign journals, you should submit to foreign journals first.
As for the signature plus Xu Cheng's name, this is also an unspoken rule in the academic industry.
Moreover, for newcomers or students, if the teacher is famous, signing the teacher's name can allow the newcomer's manuscripts to enjoy certain preferential treatment in the review.
There are actually differences between the national competition, golden autumn camp, and winter camp. These three are actually not the same thing.
Sometimes when you memorize an idea, it’s not unexpected to be blocked by reviewers and editors for two or three months.
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was early October, CPHO was about to begin, and students participating in the national competition from various provinces came to Kyoto one after another.
At least it will make the technical editor and review editor look at it twice instead of throwing it directly into the trash.
As for this year, the National Physics Competition held by P University was scheduled to coincide with the Golden Autumn Camp. After discussion by the Ninth District Physics Society, the National Physics Competition was held directly at the Golden Autumn Camp of P University.
After the provincial competition in each province, each province will recommend participating students to participate. These are usually the top few in the provincial competition.
In addition, the two of them are not even in a teacher-student relationship. In this case, Xu Cheng is not so shameless to add his own name.
However, as time goes by, there are other competitions. For example, the examination time of the national biology competition is directly set at the winter camp.
After all, the domestic physical competition and the numerical competition are held at different times. The physical competition is held in October every year, while the numerical competition has to wait until December.
Otherwise, according to the situation in previous years when the Golden Autumn Camp and the Wu Jing National Competition were held separately, there is a high probability that Xuchuan will give up the Golden Autumn Camp this year and only participate in the Wu Jing National Competition.
Xu Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Xu Chuan again: "I said yes, you can go back to training first. In this IPHO, you winning the gold medal is the best reward for me."
If he were reborn again, his choice of university would still be Sanjiang University, where he studied in his previous life.
This also gives the opportunity to participate in the physical competition and the numerical competition at the same time.
The winter camp was first established in 1985. It was initiated by P University and several famous universities in Beiyang. It was later renamed the Ninth District Mathematics Olympiad.
But for Xu Chuan, an independently published paper is extremely precious.
Although "Progress in Physics" is not the top journal, it is still ranked among the top fifteen in the world.
Although the rules of each journal are different, most will only send feedback after accepting the manuscript, and this process can take anywhere from one day to two weeks.
What's more, he didn't help much with this paper. He didn't even have much academic discussion. He could only help revise the format of the paper.
Generally speaking, only contestants who have won provincial first prizes or above can participate in this selection event.
The national competition is the final of the five major competitions for middle school students across the country in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and information, also known as IMO and CPHO.
"No, you wrote this paper yourself. I'm very happy that you have such consideration, but teaching is my job, and you are not my student."
Therefore, the two families have never dealt with each other very much, and they are fiercely fighting for students.
Second, his college goals are not Mizuki University and P University, and participating in the Golden Autumn Camp of these two institutions does not make sense to him.
A little transparent person like Xu Chuan who has never heard of it may receive feedback in about a week if he is lucky, but if he is not lucky, he may have to wait for half a month or even a month.
Hearing this, Xu Cheng looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, shook his head and refused with a smile.
Being able to independently publish a paper in his senior year of high school will be of great help to his future academic career, and he cannot take advantage of this advantage.
This time is generally determined based on the contributor's reputation in the industry. The greater the reputation, the shorter the review time.
In other words, the current winter camp is actually the national competition of the National Middle School Mathematics Competition.
So after the paper was submitted, Xu Chuan also returned to the training days, but by this time, Wu Jing's training was almost over.
Not everyone is so lucky. There happens to be a technical review editor who can see your paper when it is sent.
The Golden Autumn Camp refers to a series of recruitment and selection activities organized by Shuimu and P University after National Day, mainly for students competing in the three subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
So the Golden Autumn Camp has nothing to do with the national competition.
After the paper is submitted, all that is left is to wait for the feedback from the journal.
"How can this be done without your help, teacher?"
First, he participated in P University’s Golden Autumn Camp last year and won the first prize.
Xu Cheng rejected Xu Chuan's kindness. A paper, even if it was published by SCI in "Progress in Physics", was not a very rare thing for him.
It is just a means used by Shuimu and P University to identify and recruit students in advance.
This year's National Physical Education Competition was held at P University. At the same time, P University's Golden Autumn Camp was also held during this period.
The other four-door competitions are not linked to the winter camp, and their national competitions are held independently.
This saves time and energy.
The review time of this type of journal is so long that it makes people doubt their lives for ordinary scholars or newcomers like Xu Chuan who are submitting their manuscripts for the first time.
Shuimu and P University have their own golden autumn camps, but they cater to the same source of students, all of whom are outstanding competitive students.
As for the winter camp, it is linked to the national mathematics competition.
Although the mathematics department of Sanjiang University is average and not as big as Mizuki and P, Sanjiang University is his alma mater after all. He studied in Sanjiang for college and graduate school in his last life, so there is no reason why he should not go there in this life.
In addition, another crucial point is that domestic universities, even Shuimu and P University, actually cannot teach him much knowledge.
Not only in physics, but also in mathematics, he can teach and lead doctoral students in these two universities, so it doesn't matter which university he goes to.
Sanjiang University can also teach him basic mathematics that he has not learned. As for more advanced mathematics, there are probably only a few universities in the world that can teach him.
