Chapter 254: Why did I go out of my country, you Wen


Wei Xingsi stood outside and glanced inside. He didn't come in or speak, but waved at Wu Feifei.
   Wu Feifei grabbed the mobile phone on the desk and hurriedly got up, then the two disappeared to the door of 216 together.
   This scene happened so quickly that the people in the laboratory did not pay attention to what was happening outside.
   Three minutes later, Wu Feifei came back and shouted: "Xu Qiu, Teacher Wei is looking for you."
   did this not only to notify Xu Qiu, but also to inform the friends in the laboratory of the fact that "Ms. Wei has returned."
   "Is it about the progress of the experiment?" Xu Qiu asked back.
   "It should be," Wu Feifei explained: "He and I asked about the latest laboratory conditions."
   "Okay." Xu Qiu stopped his work, saved the file by pressing Ctrl+S, and muttered in his heart, "This scene always feels a bit familiar."
   Xu Qiu just wrote the "experimental details" part of the article, namely Experimental Details, referred to as ED? It seems a little strange, but it matches well with NC.
   The experimental details of NC journals are quite special. They are unified between the conclusion part at the end of the text and the references. The format is similar to that of other journals, but this part needs a detailed description and cannot be omitted.
This part must be placed in the main text, which caused Xu Qiu to not directly copy the experimental details in the previously published articles, but to make certain modifications. Although the instrument model and other things will inevitably be repeated, the sentence expression method cannot It is exactly the same, otherwise you will encounter the problem of excessive article repetition rate.
Similar to HowNet's duplicate check, after receiving the manuscript, the journal editor will first check the submitted manuscript in the database. If the duplication rate is too high, the editor will review it. If the editor determines that it is "possible of plagiarism", The manuscript will be rejected directly. If the plot is particularly serious, the author's account will be blacklisted by the journal.
   The experimental details of some other journals can be included in the supporting information (SI) outside the text, and this part is usually not included in the scope of the duplicate check.
Even, you can directly quote the previously published work, say something like "This article... and other representational means refer to the previous work", and then put a [ref.] (reference), which is the so-called "earlier period." Work" is enough, no detailed description is needed.
   This is really great for the author. It not only solves the trouble of checking duplicates, it is very easy to write, but also there are good reasons to cite previous articles published by yourself or your research group to increase the number of citations.
   But it is very unfriendly to readers.
   Xu Qiu encountered such a situation when looking up the literature before. He wanted to see how other people did the experiment, so he found the PDF of the text of the literature.
   Then, he found that the experimental part was in the supporting information, so he had to download the supporting information file.
   For ACS company journals, at the end of most documents in PDF format, there will be hyperlinks to download supporting information files directly, which is more convenient;
   While Wiley’s journals usually do not have hyperlinks, it is necessary to find the DOI number of the article first, then search on the website to find the corresponding article, and finally download the supporting information file.
   After some operations, it took a few minutes, and Xu Qiu successfully got the supporting information file.
   He flipped through it and saw a passage "The synthesis method of XX material refers to the previously reported article [ref.]".
   The old face is black, WTF?
   But for the sake of experimental details, I can only bite the bullet and continue to look for the reference they cited.
  This kind of directly cited articles usually only have information such as the author, the name of the journal, the year, the volume number, and the page number. As for the issue number and title of the article, there may or may not be, and the DOI number is likely to be absent.
   Without a DOI number, you cannot directly find the corresponding literature in one step. Instead, you need to enter the official website of the relevant journal company, and then use the search tool inside the website to enter the journal’s name, year, volume number, and page number to search.
Although the corresponding documents can be found in the end, the time cost will be greatly increased. The former uses DOI numbers, just like finding people by ID number, while the latter uses name, gender, age, work unit, and social relations. Go find someone.
   Then, Xu Qiu found the article they cited. At the same time, just in case, even the supporting information file was downloaded.
   Do you think that you can find the result you want?
   No, they also do matryoshka.
In the supporting information of the new document, Xu Qiu saw a similar passage, "The synthesis method of XX material refers to...", and then snapped, they quoted an earlier "preliminary work"... …
   Xu Qiu: "???"
   There are almost three endings when the dolls go down layer by layer.
   One is HE. After all the hardships, I found the original job, and the experimental details are very complete, and you can directly learn from it. Although it was a waste of time, at least I got what I wanted. It is gratifying.
One is NE. After all the hardships, I also found the original work, but found that the original work is the kind of archaic literature, such as the kind published in the last century or even the last century. It is generally "Nature", "Science" is like this.
For example, looking for the specific experimental details of "Stille coupling reaction between trimethyltin-substituted dithiophene unit and bromine-substituted NDI unit to prepare N2200 material", after searching for it, I finally found the report "Stille The first article of "Coupling Reaction" was the one published by Stille himself and his collaborator Milstein in the 1970s.
   The original job was indeed found, but it cannot be directly used for reference.
   Of course, it can’t be said that there is no gain at all. At least after reading the pioneering work of the boss, it can be regarded as an expansion of the knowledge reserve.
   Yes, naturally there will be BE.
  BE is a citation error in the matryoshka process, such as the corresponding document does not exist, or the document exists, but has nothing to do with the thing you are looking for, etc.
   In short, I have been busy for a long time, and in the end I didn't catch anything.
  ……
   Xu Qiu copied the draft file of the article to the USB flash drive, got up and went to 218.
When he came to the door, he tapped on the half-covered door a few times and pushed in. He saw Wei Xingsi bend over to organize the suitcase on the ground, his face was slightly tired, and he looked "emptied". .
   Xu Qiu was slightly surprised, and thought to himself:
  The foreigners are so well served. If you didn’t know that Teacher Wei was going to Sweden and Denmark this time, I thought he was going to the Netherlands...
  By the way, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands belong to the Schengen countries. As long as you have a Schengen visa, it is not too difficult to go to the Netherlands by plane.
   However, Teacher Wei should not be such a person.
   Mostly because Mr. Wei spent seven days abroad and just got off the jet lag, and now he has to do the jet lag again after returning home, and the long-distance flight of about ten hours has only ended. It's weird to be energetic.
Wei Xingsi didn’t know about Xu Qiu’s psychological activities. He heard the sound of pushing the door, raised his head, and actively said,
I ran a few places this time. I mainly met with the laser expert at Lund University. T? nu Pullerits, he is an academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and he also visited their laboratory. A group of them occupies an entire experimental building. All kinds of large-scale laser equipment, room temperature and low temperature experiments can be done, and the equipment is also all,……"
  ’It seems that Mr. Wei’s going abroad is to find a way out. For some international exchange fund projects, the scientific research departments of both countries need to apply and approve at the same time. Without foreign relations, there is basically no opportunity to apply for such funds. ’
  ‘But for the academician level of T?nu, Teacher Wei only met once and brushed his face. He should not be able to cooperate directly. Most of them are working directly with the small boss in their group. ’
   Xu Qiu listened to Mr. Wei’s experience abroad, and silently analyzed without interrupting.
   Not long after, Wei Xingsi tidied the suitcase, took out a few gift boxes and put them on the coffee table, and continued:
"An assistant professor under T?nu, Feng Shengdong, happened to be an alumnus of Magic University. He always accompanied me on this trip. I talked with him a lot about organic photovoltaics and perovskite photovoltaics. He is quite interested, after all, he is an assistant professor."
   Xu Qiu nodded and expressed his understanding that Sweden’s scientific research work system is basically the one in the beautiful country, and assistant professors, associate professors, and professors are upgraded like this.
   is different from the domestic system. In the foreign system, associate professors and full professors are both tenured professors, while assistant professors belong to the assessment period. To upgrade to tenure associate professors, it generally takes six years of assessment period.
   In the past six years, assistant professors have to apply for various research funds in order to bring more master and doctoral students to help assistant professors produce more results and papers.
Until the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth year, the academic committee of the department must evaluate the various performances of the assistant professors, including how many courses have been taught, the effect of the lectures, the grades of the assistant professors by the students, how much research funding has been applied for, and how much has been brought Masters and Ph.Ds, how many research projects have been completed, how many projects are being researched, how many journals and conference papers have been published, whether teaching materials have been published and patent applications, whether they have participated in part of the management affairs of the school or department, and whether they have hosted Or have co-chaired academic conferences, have you acted as a reviewer for academic journals, what is the H factor reflecting the academic level of the assistant professor...
   After the evaluation and voting by the academic committee, the assistant professor can be promoted to associate professor and become tenured professor after more votes.
   This process is like a carp leaping over a dragon gate. Once it crosses over, it is a new life.
Therefore, assistant professors will be very active in teaching and scientific research in the first six years for tenure, and generally have very strict requirements for their master and doctoral students. This is the so-called "PUSH" phenomenon in the academic circle. .
   The same is true in China. Although there is no tenure, university professors can be regarded as people in the system. They are usually relatively stable and generally do not lose their jobs easily.
In addition, many university professors have experience studying abroad. In other words, many people have been PUSH. After all, the saints who hold the idea of ​​
do not do to others what you do not want to do
are in the minority. The past experience is passed on.
   Various reasons lead to the PUSH phenomenon in China. Although it is not as common as abroad, it is not uncommon.
   For example, Mr. Wei in front of me, in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Magic City University, can be regarded as a mentor with a stricter style.
   However, Xu Qiu's experience of this is not profound. He feels that Teacher Wei is quite easy to get along with...
"I have talked with Feng Shengdong. I can send him some samples and let him test and analyze them. Feng Shengdong has worked under T?nu for five years. He is professional in transient spectroscopy. You can also directly ask him questions." Wei Xingsi paused ~EbookFREE.me~ and said:
"For example, with your current 3D-PDI system, if you want to invest in NC, it is best to write more theoretical research, so that the article is easier to read. Speaking of, how did your device do? I remember before The result you told me was 7.5%."
   "The highest efficiency has now reached 8.4%." Xu Qiu said calmly.
   "Yes, the efficiency has finally broken through, I know you can do it!" Wei Xingsi looked happy and hurriedly asked: "What about the characterization data, how bad is it?"
   "Except for the light source data, all the other data are ready." Xu Qiu replied.
   "So fast!" Wei Xingsi sighed, and then asked: "When will the light source be tested next time?"
   "Next week." Xu Qiu said.
"Very good," Wei Xingsi nodded in satisfaction, thinking for a while and said: "I will send a message to Feng Shengdong, asking them about the specific conditions of the test samples, and send them a batch next week. You can first follow the NC Write the article first. By the way, there is no NC template in our group. You can refer to the articles published by other people to make one..."
   "I have almost written the text of the article." Xu Qiu raised his hand and interrupted.
   Wei Xingsi was silent on the spot, and he paused for a moment.
   Are you kidding me?
  Why did I go abroad to work? Have you written all your articles?
   But, if you want to talk about it, I'm just going to be refreshed.
