Bai Ye looked at the invitation letter for the Summit Forum in his hand, read it carefully, and asked: "Sister Wang, what is the specific situation of this forum? Do you understand it?"
Sister Wang smiled: "The Asian Science and Technology Summit Forum is held every year, and the invited ones are all the most influential journals in Asia. Director Xu used to go there, but it seems that Chief Editor Bai will go there this time."
Bai Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Can you not go?"
Sister Wang nodded: "This is not mandatory. Of course you don't have to go, but Director Xu will go every time."
"After all, we are all in the same circle, and we always interact and interact with each other. Having a few close friends can always be of some help."
"And... to be honest, our development in Puze has been getting worse and worse in recent years. If it weren't for the support of those old relationships, our influence would probably be getting lower and lower. We are worried about being removed from the Asian acie database..."
The acie database is similar to sci, ei, etc. It is a scientific index database. If a magazine is included in this database, it means it is an acie article.
Although it is not as good as the three major international databases such as sci and ei, it is still popular in Asia. It is more popular than the core of Peking University, the core of science and technology, and the core of biology in China.
Seeing Bai Ye's hesitation, Sister Wang said: "Editor-in-Chief, I still think you should participate. After all, the Summit Forum is also a publicity for the magazine, because the world's media will participate in every forum, and it will be ranked among the top ones every year.
The impact factor of the journal will be improved. Our "Puze Latest Medicine" will be launched soon. If we can make some new friends on the forum and catch up with old friends, it may be helpful to our launch.
Moreover, suspension of publication without reason is not a good thing for a magazine, as it can easily be questioned by these databases."
What Sister Wang said made sense. After Bai Ye listened, he thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, let's go. Who did Director Xu go with before? I don't know those old friends either.
Are there any familiar ones?"
Sister Wang: "I have always accompanied you there before, so editor-in-chief, don't worry."
The Summit Forum will be held this time at the Wanhua International Hotel in Kyoto, so Bai Ye doesn't have to run around.
On the morning of the 10th, Bai Ye and Sister Wang arrived at Wanhua International Hotel. Along the way, Bai Ye learned about the basic procedures of the meeting through Sister Wang's introduction and invitation letter.
There was a meeting in the morning, where official staff of the database were invited to give readings and reports, as well as some information and methods on how to be included in the database.
There is an academic dinner at noon, which is actually an opportunity to connect emotionally. This is what Sister Wang said about dealing with new and old friends. After all, Bai Ye, as the editor-in-chief of Puze New Medicine, will inevitably have to deal with magazines in the future, at least
Let people in the circle know about Bai Ye.
In the afternoon, there will be an award ceremony, where outstanding journals of the year will be awarded.
"Puze Latest Medicine" has an impact factor of only about 0.65 in recent years, so it is impossible for it to be awarded. Bai Ye actually just came to see it.
The two arrived at the venue relatively early, and there were not many people at the venue. There were dedicated venue staff to guide them, so everything went smoothly.
After the two sat down, people arrived one after another. The person who gave the speech in the morning was an official staff member from the acie database. He was a Singaporean named Li Yuran. He was once in the American Science Citation Index, which is the sci database.
I have been working on information maintenance and journal admission standards for a period of time.
After coming to acie, she took on the main selection work. She is very good at selecting and eliminating journals. At only thirty years old, she is also well-known in the Asian journal industry.
Li Yuran was dressed in an exquisite women's suit, with shoulder-length short hair and light makeup. She looked like a cold scene standing there.
After hearing the introduction on the podium, Li Yuran will be the main person in charge of selecting and excluding journals from now on.
At this time, Sister Wang suddenly whispered to Bai Ye: "Chief Editor, it is not a good thing for us that Li Yuran is the person in charge!"
Bai Ye frowned and asked, "Why?"
Sister Wang: "This Li Yuran is very principled in his work, and no one can find fault with it. Just like this, he is very sincere in his work. Last year, Editor-in-Chief Xu was embarrassed by Li Yuran for a long time because our journal's performance was not good.
He was almost eliminated from the acie database. Fortunately, the group of old friends helped me to get over it. Last year, Li Yuran was still the deputy, but this year he has become the top leader. But our "Pu Ze Latest Medicine" will be banned by him...
"
Bai Ye was dumbfounded. Did he encounter this when he just took office? It's not very good...
Being included in the Asian ACI is also a big honor. Compared with the core journals of Peking University, Science and Technology Core, and Biology Core, it is a level higher. It is a buffer journal between core journals and sci, ei, etc., in Asia
It can also be used as a standard for evaluating professional titles and unit scientific research capabilities.
If he is eliminated by acie, this will undoubtedly make things worse for Puze.
But... Bai Ye then thought about it. He had prepared so much not just to join acie. His goal was to enter the SCI index database and become a world-wide journal, and also to make a name for himself in it.
The impact factor has increased, allowing a Chinese magazine to appear among the world's top journals.
Bai Ye smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Sister Wang."
Bai Ye gained a lot in the morning. At least he had a lot of understanding of the entry standards of these databases. Whether a journal can be included mainly depends on the number of cited articles.
Generally, after two years of investigation, the total citations in the two years are divided by the total number of journals in the two years. After reaching a certain standard, it can be included in certain data.
Just like the current average impact factor of "Puze Latest Medicine", that is, the average number of citations is: 0.65 points.
To be included in SCI, it must be about 1.2, which means the average drinking volume is increased by nearly 0.6, and there are more than 600 articles on Puze Hairstyles in the past two years.
This means adding at least 360 total citations, which is still very difficult for an ordinary journal, especially if it is cited by journals in the SCI database, which is even more troublesome.
The standard for acie inclusion is 0.8. In fact, Puze Latest Medicine is not qualified, otherwise it would not have been eliminated at Li Yuran's request.
However, journals like Puze New Medicine have a long history, and as a long-established national-headed journal, no one wants to antagonize it.
The morning passed quickly, but Bai Ye had been thinking about how to increase the number of citations for the articles in this journal.
The meeting ended at 11:30 in the morning, and it was lunch time. Bai Ye and Sister Wang walked together. After arriving at the restaurant, there was a buffet, but the standard was relatively high, with top-quality ingredients and drinks.
Bai Ye casually took some food and sat down, but Sister Wang brought a middle-aged man to Bai Ye while walking and chatting, and introduced him to Bai Ye.
"Chief editor, this is the chief editor of "Tsinghua Materials Engineering Applications": Chief Editor Zhao Shuxin."
"Editor-in-chief Zhao, this is what I told you, our new editor-in-chief, Bai Ye."
Zhao Shuxin was an upright man in his fifties, with a burly build and looked like a soldier. Bai Ye quickly stood up and offered to shake hands: "Chief Editor Zhao, hello, I am Bai Ye."
The man smiled and patted Bai Ye on the shoulder: "You're a good young man. He has reached this position at a young age. The burden is not light. It has been hard for Lao Xu to keep Puze in his current position for half his life. You have to do it."
Come on!"
Bai Ye nodded: "Don't dare to slack off! I also have Uncle Zhao's help."
Zhao Shuxin hummed: "That's for sure, but... Xiaoye, I think a lot of people are not satisfied with Puze's suspension this time."
Bai Ye was stunned, what does this have to do with others? He asked doubtfully: "Can you please give me some advice from Uncle Zhao?"
Zhao Shuxin took Bai Ye to sit down and took a sip of tea: "acie is different from other databases. Indeed, its minimum standard is 0.8, but! It is limited and will only include the top 300 journals in Asia.
That is to say, what he wants to do is to set a fixed number of 300 journals. The top 300 journals in Asia will be included every year, and the following ones will be eliminated."
"Actually, this concept was also proposed by Li Yuran when he came to Acie, in order to encourage the development of Asian journals and play a role in healthy competition. Now that Li Yuran has made the decision, this will definitely be implemented more strictly."
"Puze Latest Medicine, as a specially included journal, has caused dissatisfaction among many people. Now that it has been suspended for one month, it is estimated that many people will take advantage of the topic and take this opportunity to get Puze out. After it is out,
There is a new spot available."
Bai Ye suddenly realized that this was the case! Because Bai Ye had seen too many top SCI journals, he ignored the ACI around him. You must know that after a journal is included in the ACI, the status will be improved by a level. Those
Journals owned by private companies may even see a sharp increase in value.
There are many such journals. For example, Group A actually has a subordinate journal. This journal is just an ordinary national journal and is not a core journal. However, if this journal becomes a core journal or becomes an ACI journal,
Group A's shares will appreciate in value, and the company's market value will also increase a lot.
Disputes of interest are always the key conflict.
During lunch, under the leadership of Zhao Shuxin, Bai Ye met several old friends of Puze one after another. These journals are not just acie, many of them are included in sci.
These people have a good attitude towards Bai Ye and Pu Ze. After all, as the chief editor of a national hospital, what everyone looks up to is not Bai Ye, but Pu Ze, just like after Chief Editor Xu left, he became Bai Ye, or other
Chief Editor Yang and Chief Editor Li will make friends with everyone.
During this period, Bai Ye actually saw a familiar face, Aida Tama?
Why is he here too?
Zhao Shuxin also saw Aangda Tama and said: "Aangtian Tama is not an ordinary person. He is a master who is active in the academic circle. He is also a benchmark in Japan. He has long held the main position in Japan's new technology development project department. He is also the "Asia"
Honorary Editor-in-Chief of New Journal of Medicine."
It turns out that Tama Aida is the editor-in-chief of "New Journal of Asian Medicine". No wonder a lot of articles were published on it last time, and there was even a special issue on hair style.
Xiang Tianyu also saw Bai Ye at this time, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Bai Ye.
"Long time no see, Mr. Bai Ye!"
Bai Ye smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see."
Xiang Tianyu hummed: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I'm really impressed. Bai Yejun has become the editor-in-chief of "Pu Ze Latest Medicine". I guess Bai Yejun is the youngest editor-in-chief in the world! Come on, I'll give you a toast.
, I wish you a bright future.”
Bai Ye smiled: "Well, thank you very much. I appreciate your good words."
After saying that, the two of them clinked their glasses and took a sip. There was a meeting in the afternoon, and the wine for lunch was only a low-alcohol cocktail.
Aang Tianyu continued: "It's just that Puze's current situation is not very good. He is about to be removed from Acie. Bai Yejun, do you want to consider joining our "New Journal of Asian Medicine"? I will give you the position of deputy editor-in-chief.
?How? We in Japan have never been stingy with talents."
Bai Ye was stunned: "Oh? Removed? Haha, I don't think so. I think our journal may make a qualitative leap, and maybe have a chance to compete with you on the world stage."
Aang Tiantama smiled: "Well, I look forward to that day coming. But as far as I know, you have stopped publishing for one month now. Isn't it because you can't continue? Do you want to let our subordinate journals submit some articles?
"
Bai Ye shook his head and did not continue chatting with Xiang Tianyu. Instead, he said hello to Sister Wang and left the venue.
The purpose of attending the meeting today has basically been achieved. I got to know the editors-in-chief of some well-developed domestic journals, and also understood the conditions for entry into various databases. There is no need for Bai Ye to attend the afternoon award ceremony. Instead of wasting time attending others
It’s better to try your best to do what you should do well than the award ceremony.
In the afternoon, Bai Ye returned to Puze's editorial office. Everyone was working overtime in the hospital to sort out the papers. They had already selected some of them as content for this publication and were waiting for Bai Ye's decision.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Sister Wang called back to tell Bai Ye, and said in a frustrated voice: Puze has been eliminated and removed from acie's database.
Bai Ye smiled and reassured that it was okay.
He had expected this result, so he left early. As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhao Shuxin and others called in one after another, comforting Bai Ye and asking Bai Ye to speak directly if he needed anything.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement and hung up the phone.
It doesn't matter if this so-called acie joins or not, the main thing is that the journal will be published in five days. Thinking of this, he sent this article to Keao, Jiali, Old Enders and others.
Everything is ready in just one week.
After receiving the news, Ke Aorang sent a message to Bai Ye:
"At the end of December, the sci database will count the citations of journals in the previous two years and re-evaluate the accepted journals. Determine the latest list of journals included in sci in 2018. I can help with nominations."
