Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Tu Xian stayed up all night, corrected the text of the paper, and sent it out. Because it didn't involve the content, the editor of the journal decided to publish it after reading it.

In less than a week, Tu Xian received a fax that the thesis was approved.

This is an indescribable joy, it doesn't make people shout out, or jump up and revel, but it feels worth eating something you usually don't want to eat, drinking two more glasses than usual, and indulging for a few hours more than usual. It's like being forced to reward yourself.

Tu Xian did all of this.

He took out all the cash in the drawer, and in the small restaurant outside the school gate, he drank a catty of white wine by himself, ate four bowls of rice, and a large bowl of boiled pork slices.

The boiled pork slices are tender and tough, and even the cabbage inside has a faint aroma of oil. After eating, Tu Xian feels hot all over his body, and his face is full of happiness.

And that bottle of Erguotou solidified his sense of happiness on his face.

Tu Xian was deeply drunk.

The next day, he gave lessons to the students, returned to the office, thought for a long time, went to mail, and sent a telegram to his classmates studying in London, asking for information about the reviewers of "Biochemical System Ecology".

The information of journals is usually open and transparent, and the two-way anonymity measures for reviewers and contributors are only valid during the review period, and reviewer information is available before and after.

In some journals, contributors are often required to select reviewers themselves. Of course, editors may not necessarily assign reviewers according to the requirements of contributors, but this system itself can provide a bottom line, allowing editors to select reviewers when they are not sure about the paper. In the case of the research area, assign appropriate reviewers.

There are always some Chinese who are qualified to be reviewers for foreign journals, but if the scope is narrowed down to the journal "Biochemical System Ecology", there are not many reviewers.

In fact, as far as mainland China is concerned, Biochemical Systems Ecology has only identified three reviewers. In contrast, Hong Kong at this time has six reviewers, and Japan has more than 80 reviewers.

Tu Xian only asked for the list and contact information of the mainland. Among the three people, one is in Beijing, one is in Wuhan, and the other is in Nanhu City, Hedong Province...

People from Beijing, whom Tu Xian knows, are associate researchers at the Institute of Biology, which is equivalent to the title of associate professor. He is considered to be the best among his peers. The resources in Tu Xian's hands are far inferior to others, and he doesn't think the two can cooperate. , So I wrote two letters, one to Wuhan and the other to Hedong.

After the letter was sent, Tu Xian became a little sober, and felt that he had done something meaningless.

If you can be a reviewer for a journal, will you not have a regular co-researcher? Maybe there is a team below.

However, that is a waste of a few cents of stamp money.

Tu Xian quickly put the letter behind him, thinking about the team every day, working cheerfully.

If you become an associate professor, you can lead your own team. Although there are still only one or two people, and most of the time students will help you, but it is a team after all. You can put your name on it, and you will have independent assessment and finance. Everything is beautiful.

In Chinese academia, being an associate professor is the beginning of a researcher. Before that, they were just handymen in the research field.

However, when Tu Xian didn't expect a reply, the reply unexpectedly appeared.

"Yang Rui from Xibao Middle School, Xibao Town, Xixian County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province..." Tu Xian read the long name,

Suddenly I felt familiar.

"Which journal has I seen this name?" Tu Xian's memory is excellent, and he is quite confident. He can still remember the main content of every book he read when he was a student, and he can linearize it connected. It is rare to remember the name and not be sure.

Taking the letter, Tu Xian went straight to the library, and based on his vague memory, he dug out the periodicals he had read recently, looking for Yang Rui's name.

Soon, the pinyin came into Tu Xian's eyes.

"No wonder we seem to have known each other." Tu Xian suddenly realized. There is no specific address description in foreign journals. It is only composed of two pinyin, so it is difficult to generate an impression.

"Find me this author's paper." Tu Xian beckoned, and called a student from the library to help him find the retrieval card.

Now that there is no computer search, the library uses cards to search.

The cards are made of palm-sized white cardboard and placed in drawers one by one, with the title, author's name, introduction, etc. written on them, arranged in alphabetical order. When you need to find information, flipping through cards is a more efficient way than flipping through books.

It's just boring.

The work-study students in the library were familiar with the location of the cards, so they were quicker to find them. After a while, they took out more than a dozen cards and handed them to Tu Xian.

"So much?" Tu Xian was slightly surprised. If it is a university professor in Beijing, it is quite normal to have more than a dozen papers, but Hedong Province...

Tu Xian doesn't know much about that place, but in terms of the current resource allocation in the country, the research level of Hedong Province is really lower by more than one level.

"If this is the master of Hedong, it would be ridiculous to cooperate." Tu Xian read the card and handed it to the counter.

"There are 8 books in total." The teacher in the library tore up the form and asked Tu Xian to fill it in. Then he put the card away, put the form in the small elevator behind him, and pressed the button.

The so-called elevator is only the volume of two milk crates, and will send the documents to the library upstairs or downstairs, and the staff inside will find the books on the list, send them to the elevator with a supermarket-style trolley, and then push the button to send them to the elevator. Go back to the retrieval room and hand it over to the borrower.

This process can be long or short. Tu Xian didn't wait too long before seeing a thick stack of periodicals.

"Biochemical System Ecology" is expected by Tu Xian, but the weight of the paper is still not expected by Tu Xian. A paper of two to three thousand words is not written by you, and the journal will publish it. There is no certain popularity or popularity. Trust, without the strong recommendation of reviewers, editors usually require the number of words to be controlled within an appropriate range, and those legendary ones are nothing but blockbusters, which are often just legends. Even Einstein's papers have been questioned countless times, and what papers can guarantee that they must be masterpieces.

Tu Xian read for more than two hours before finishing all these papers.

He had read some papers before, but he just didn't pay attention to the author.

Looking back now, it's rather interesting.

Finished reading "Biochemical System Ecology", followed by several issues of "Chemical Biology". When he saw the cover, Tu Xian took a deep breath.

If "Biochemical System Ecology" is an entry-level journal, "Chemical Biology" is an intermediate-level journal, with an impact factor of around 4.5, which can properly evaluate an associate professor, even if it is used until the age of 40.

Tu Xian rarely read this journal before, because it was difficult and far away from his own research. If he was looking for research hotspots, he naturally had other choices.

However, if people around you can make this kind of paper, it will be quite powerful.

Tu Xian couldn't bear it any longer, spread out the draft paper on the spot, and wrote the letter.

the next day.

The reply was revised by Tu Xian and sent to Xibao Middle School, Xibao Town, Xixian County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province.

Tu Xian felt that Yang Rui must be living in a middle school, maybe his wife is from a middle school...

"Perhaps he can be invited to teach at Beijing Iron and Steel Institute. The school is just about to set up a biology department. If you provide a teaching position with an equivalent title, plus a Beijing hukou, to solve your wife's work... a dormitory, there should still be a chance. "Tu Xian was secretly planning.
