Chapter 8 Selection of Journals

After looking at Lucien, Eric continued to read the content behind the review results: "Mr. Jeffrey's evaluation is: 'Fascinating experimental design, rigorous exploration and construction of magic. Although limited by his own knowledge and ability

There are still many shortcomings in its constructed magic, but what this paper shows is not how good this apprentice-level magic is, but that high-frequency sound waves can still be used in this way, and can also be used as a tool for positioning and exploration. This allows us to

The study of sound waves has taken a new direction. This is a paper with a groundbreaking contribution.'

'However, due to the simplicity of its discussion and the lack of in-depth exploration of the organ structure and positioning principles of bats, as well as the foreseeable lack of subsequent development of this principle, the importance of this paper is not sufficient. Of course, as a person who does not have a formal arcane level

Magicians have done a very good job. At the same time, this paper also shows us that ordinary creatures also have magical abilities, which are also worthy of our research and exploration. They cannot be limited to running, jumping, and agility that can be seen intuitively.

, discoloration, strength and other aspects, but should be observed in depth.'

'Another satisfying aspect is that the author's way of thinking is that of a real arcanist: keen observation, bold assumptions, experimental elimination, rigorous analysis, reasonable inference and application. It is surprising that he does not have an arcane level.

'

‘Taking all aspects into account, it is recommended to reward four arcane points and four arcane points.’”

"Based on the evaluation results of the two members of the committee, Lucien Evans's evaluation of this paper is: 'Pioneering contribution, insufficient importance, clear and rigorous experiments, valuable for discussion and research, and four arcane points awarded.

, five arcane points.'"

Compared with Mr. "Garfield", this Mr. "Jeffrey" seems extremely verbose and strives for details. However, his final review and evaluation results are still surprisingly similar to "Garfield's", which obviously fully recognizes Lucien's position.

value of a paper.

At the same time, his detailed explanation also allowed Eric and Lazar to roughly understand the theme of Lucien's arcane treatise and new magic.

"By studying the organs of bats, explore the role of high-frequency sound waves in positioning and detection? Although Evans, you inherit ancient magic and this is your strength, I also often study bats. Unfortunately, I am studying its gliding ability.

I really regret forgetting other aspects." As a second-level magician, when trying to analyze the most important "flying skill" in third-level magic, Lazar has observed most of the creatures that can fly, so

He complained to Lucien with a wry smile.

At the same time, he no longer had the slightest doubt that Lucien could write this arcane paper. After all, this was what ancient magicians were good at, so he sincerely hugged Lucien: "Congratulations, Evans, you are my

I have met a magician who has so many arcane points on the first day. When you make up for the basics of arcane and magic over time, you will definitely be able to obtain the official arcane level."

Many high-level arcane masters, even if they have no new research results, may obtain hundreds of arcane points in one day because of the papers they accumulated in the past, so seven arcane points in one day is not shocking.

"By the way, how can these three words, bats, high-frequency sound waves, positioning, and detection, be related together?" After letting go of Lucien, Lazar asked curiously, and Eric next to him also stopped reaching for the iron cage.

He held up his hand and looked back at Lucien, wanting to hear why he was evaluated as having "amazingly keen observation".

While Lucien was considering the words, Lazar added jokingly: "Your paper has been reviewed, so you don't have to worry about us plagiarizing the results. And if you can interest Mr. Eric, maybe he will go to 'General'."

The Arcane Library 'looks up your paper and writes a new paper based on it, allowing you to gain citation Arcane points."

"It's actually very simple, Lazar, have you ever seen bats flying in the dark night or in caves? Especially in caves, it's so dark and there are so many bats, but they can fly as they want without hitting their companions or the stone walls.

." Lucien smiled and mentioned a few words.

In front of two people with arcane levels, this passage was already very illustrative. Eric subconsciously straightened the rich and barren hair around him and said: "Some arcane research results are simple to say, but there are no sharp ones."

Observation, without the inquiring and exploratory thinking of an arcanist, there is no way to discover it. I think I may have missed many opportunities to publish highly rated papers without even knowing it."

He still has a lot of doubts about whether this arcane research paper and the new magic were completed by Lucien himself, because this is probably a unique magic invented by a magician in the ancient magic empire based on bats, and Lucien just learned it.

After understanding its principles, it was written according to the format of existing arcane treatises, but since the magician did not jump out of the grave to testify, who would care about this?

Lazar sighed: "I am considering raising various creatures in my home and carefully observing their tiny living habits. Maybe in the future I can be like you, Lucien - you can get a lot of arcane spells just by passing the review."

Points and a higher rating. Hey, Lucien, you already have seven arcane points!"

Since Lucien did not hide anything, Lazar felt that he was indeed a friend worth keeping company with, so he no longer called Evans unfamiliarly.

"Since it has been evaluated as a groundbreaking contribution in the field of sonic applications, Evans, if your paper is submitted to a suitable journal, it will definitely be included. After a period of research and exploration by the arcanists who see your paper,

The subsequent reference points will be your main source of improving your arcane level."

"In about two or three months, their papers should be published one after another. Haha, if within three months Evans, you have not passed our arcane assessment and obtained basic arcane points, you will be the first to have more than ten points.

A magician who has arcane points but does not have the official arcanist level."

Eric thought about such a thing, and a suspicious smile appeared on his face, obviously finding it very interesting.

Hearing Eric's words, Lucien happened to ask about the previous topic: "This paper of mine is limited to a small aspect in the field of sonic applications, and I'm afraid it will be cited very few times. Mr. Eric, what do you think?

Which journal should I choose?”

"Evans, it's good that you can clearly realize this. I'm worried that you will have too much hope." Lazar said beside him.

Eric nodded: "And after your paper is cited more, arcanists who study this field will gradually cite previous papers instead of your original paper, so the citation points will slowly decrease, tending to

An intermittent, rare but stable state."

"If you want to get more citations, of course you must choose journals that are highly influential and whose papers are often cited. "Arcana" and "Magic" are the most famous and influential journals in the entire wizarding world. However,

They have long been monopolized by Grand Arcanists and high-level Arcanists. Unless the papers of low-level Arcanists are both groundbreaking, breakthrough, and important, it is impossible for them to be included. Evans, please don't consider them.

"

"There are forty-two other journals, including the journals of the eleven major factions, seven journals sponsored by the Magic Council branch, three excerpt index journals, eighteen small-field journals, and three journals dedicated to junior arcana

A comprehensive journal for magicians. As for the journals and newspapers sponsored by a few magicians and published in a small area, they are for self-entertainment and mutual communication. Although there are many, they have not been approved by the review committee. The above paper is

References do not grant arcane points."

Lucien listened to Eric's words and couldn't help but think: "The Magic Council hasn't launched an algorithm for journal influence yet? But with such a small number of journals, there is no need to calculate influence. Everyone has an intuitive

Feel.”

"Journals such as "Elements" and "Journal of Holm" are also very influential and can be widely cited within their respective factions or their own Magic Council branch, but the requirements are equally strict, and the journals of the Magic Council branch mainly focus on this

People in the branch, Evans, the direction of your arcane paper is too niche and not important enough. It is also directly under the parliament headquarters, so it is difficult to be published. From a probability point of view, it is not worth the risk." Eric, as the "Magician Management Department"

"The deacon carefully analyzed it for Lucien.

Lucien nodded slightly: "Mr. Eric, do you suggest that I choose a journal in a small field?"

""Sound Wave" is the most authoritative journal in this field, and its influence is not high but not low. Although "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly" is not authoritative in this field, it is a comprehensive journal for middle and lower-level arcanists, and its influence is

The power is higher than that of "Sound Wave". The requirements for inclusion in both are relatively high. Lucien, your paper has great promise but also a lot of risks."

Eric paused and said, "If you submit it to Arcane Exploration Journal and Magic Research Monthly, two comprehensive journals specifically for ordinary arcanists, I'm sure Evans your paper will be included.

But they have the worst influence.”

"As for how to choose, whether to take risks or be safe, it all depends on you Evans."

Lucien said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Eric for explaining so much."

"This is my duty as the deacon of the 'Magician Management Department'." Eric still had that dead face, with a slightly suspicious smile, "There are still two or three minutes until six o'clock, Evans, please go back tonight and think about it. Try to fight for it.

Submit the paper tomorrow to catch up with the journal's release date."

Lazar echoed from the side: "I think it is best to choose Sonic. After all, it is an authoritative journal in this field."

"Haha, I will carefully weigh whether it is safe to take risks." Lucien handed the arcane badge to Eric and asked him to help activate it.

Eric took the arcane badge and was about to put it into the iron cage, but found that there was a white paper document inside, so he took it out with confusion and opened it curiously.

"Mr. Eric, what kind of document is it?" Lazar saw that Eric seemed a little stunned, so he asked.

Eric held the document, turned to look at Lucien, and took a deep breath: "Evans, this is an invitation letter for "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly". They promised that if you submit your paper to

Publish it for them and it will definitely be placed in the first fifteen articles of the journal."

He is already a three-pole arcanist, but he has never seen a letter of invitation, and there are many rejection letters that cannot be published! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
