Science Building, Xilin University of Technology, Xilin City.
Qiao Ze was sitting in Li Jiangao's office, reading again the paper he had refined in collaboration with Uncle Li.
Originally, he was studying with Su Mucheng in the library in the afternoon.
As a result, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, just after Su Mucheng hung up the phone, she was distracted by the news on WeChat...
She said that a friend was coming and she had to go and receive him, so she left reluctantly.
Qiao Ze was managing the library alone, and suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do, so he sent Li Jiangao a WeChat message, and was invited over to revise the paper together.
how to say……
After using the standard format, it became much clearer.
But it also seems a lot more verbose.
Many things that he thought were obvious at a glance were added in many processes under Li Jiangao's guidance.
According to Uncle Li, the big guys who review papers are generally quite old. My brain doesn't work as fast as young people, so writing the process in more detail can speed up the review process.
Qiao Ze accepted this explanation and took the initiative to add some new pictures, because he had vaguely realized that not everyone has strong spatial imagination.
After one operation, the original eight-page paper was directly expanded to 17 pages.
However, the overall structure has not changed much.
This afternoon also allowed Li Jiangao to see Qiao Ze's efficiency with his own eyes.
He completed a process all morning, with almost no rest in between. Apart from pouring a glass of water and relaxing, almost all his time was spent on checking information, drawing pictures, and completing the proof process.
But after Qiao Ze came, he listened to his explanation and divided it by three, five, and two. In less than three hours, he filled in all the places that he thought were too omitted, and also added the pictures used in the proof process. Go in and do it in one go.
This also made Li Jiangao completely understand the gap between himself and Qiao Ze, which is probably as big as a genius and a retard...
Very pleased.
At least I'm not reduced to the point where I have to compete with a dog for IQ.
Li Jiangao felt ashamed when he thought that as a college student, he was once a genius in the eyes of his classmates.
Sure enough, people still have to remain humble. Who knows where is there hiding a person who defies heaven?
Of course, the young man in front of me should not need to be modest, not under any circumstances.
Because Li Jiangao couldn't imagine how perverted someone would be if he had a higher IQ than Qiao Ze!
"Huh... That's it. Qiao Ze, what do you think about the paper? Where do you want to submit it?"
After sorting out his complicated thoughts, Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze and asked calmly.
Qiao Ze shook his head and replied: "I don't know."
He really didn't know.
Qiao Ze has never seriously studied journals. He reads papers casually, searching for whatever they are, and focusing on the content. How can he care about where those crap articles are published?
Li Jiangao let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is something this guy doesn't understand.
If he understands this, he would like to give this office to Qiao Ze.
"Well, let's put it this way, there are four top journals recognized internationally in the field of mathematics. This article does not say it reaches the top level of these four top journals, but it is at least above the average. But I rashly invested in these four journals. Not very safe.”
When Li Jiangao said this, he slowed down because he felt a little inferior.
If he had made more academic achievements and become more famous in the field of mathematics, he would not be so embarrassed at this moment.
After a moment, he decided to tell the truth: "To be honest, I don't have the ability to help you submit to these four companies. Let's put it this way, it is difficult for ordinary scholars to submit articles to these four companies, and it is difficult to be taken seriously. I don't know how long it will take to get feedback. But If you really want to invest in these four companies, I can help you introduce a Dana mentor and ask him to recommend it to you, but generally the corresponding author must bear his name."
Qiao Ze immediately shook his head and said: "No, you are the corresponding author, and I am the first author. Although this paper is very ordinary, only our two names can appear. As for which journal to submit to, you can decide."
Li Jiangao was stunned and immediately said: "No, Qiao Ze, you may not understand the status of the corresponding author..."
"I understand this. The first person in every paper is the corresponding author." Qiao Ze nodded, and then said calmly: "But does it matter? Just think about this kind of paper, I will I can write a lot. When I become famous, I will be the corresponding author."
Li Jiangao wanted to cry again.
Not just because of emotion.
But the second half of Qiao Ze's sentence.
Li Jiangao would be satisfied if he could only write one or two papers that could meet the standards of the four top journals in terms of innovation and academic level.
Qiao Ze can write many, many words in one sentence. Which professor can listen to this without breaking his guard?
And there is no way to refute it.
The first draft of this paper took only eight hours.
Although it took a day to revise, most of the day was because he was studying.
If Qiao Ze was called earlier, it would probably only take half a day.
So Li Jiangao fell silent. After a few minutes, he smiled at Qiao Ze and said, "Okay, hey... it's not too early now. Otherwise, you should go back to the dormitory first."
"Okay, Uncle Li, goodbye."
Qiao Ze stood up naturally and walked out of the office.
Just by looking at his calm expression, you can tell that he really has no expectations or curiosity about where this paper will be published.
Even Li Jiangao felt bored.
This is probably the temperament of a future boss, right?
It's just a top-notch paper...it's a hammer!
After watching Qiao Ze leave, Li Jiangao began to silently prepare for paper delivery.
For him this was a familiar matter.
In fact, he was really embarrassed to be the corresponding author, but he was helpless. The world was so realistic that if he published a paper in Qiao Ze's name, the other party would definitely not take it seriously.
Unless you submit a journal...
But even if this paper cannot be selected for the top four international universities, it must at least be of international core, and even if the impact factor is lower than 5.0, it will not be considered.
After all, if a poor journal cannot even find qualified reviewers, then this good manuscript will be wasted.
In the end, Li Jiangao chose the journal "Communications of Pure and Applied Mathematics" sponsored by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
This is actually considered a top journal in mathematics, but it is not as well-known as the four top journals.
However, the quality of the manuscripts and even the ranking of the impact factors are no lower than those of the four top mathematics journals.
Moreover, its selection criteria also pay more attention to originality and breakthrough achievements in the field of mathematics.
Qiao Ze's manuscript is definitely up to standard.
But when Li Jiangao opened the submission system and started editing the corresponding author, he hesitated.
In the end, he listed himself and Qiao Ze as corresponding authors.
A paper with two corresponding authors is actually not a big problem.
This would give him a little peace of mind.
Of course, only Qiao Ze’s name was retained in the first work.
Paper type, research content, title, abstract, keywords...
When finally uploading the paper, Li Jiangao hesitated.
The paper contained no citations, which made him uneasy. I was still thinking about whether I should persuade Qiao Ze to add some more, but thinking about the child's attitude, I might as well forget it...
The last step is to sign the copyright transfer agreement.
Half an hour later, everything was done. Li Jiangao also breathed a sigh of relief and unconsciously brought his own to Qiao Ze. He thought jokingly in his heart: "Editors of the journal "Communications of Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, I advise you." You'd better have some idea in your mind."
Really, when Li Jiangao tried to see the world from Qiao Ze's perspective, he just thought - it's so interesting!
