Chapter 364: Another "Nature" Dazi Magazine Outlook

After a while, Wei Xingsi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qiu with piercing eyes.
For some reason, this situation and circumstances reminded Xu Qiu of the popular phrase: "Sit up in shock while dying,..."
Wei Xingsi picked up the charging mobile phone on the table, thought about it, put it down, and then said: "I wanted to call Gong Yuanjiang, but it's better to keep a low profile. We will talk about it when we post the article."
Afterwards, Wei Xingsi asked: "What journal do you plan to submit for this job? Have you considered it?"
Xu Qiu replied directly: "Nature·Energy" or "Joule."
Wei Xingsi made a thinking gesture, tapped the table a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "My original idea was to vote for "Nature·Optics" or "Nature·Materials", and now the new issue you mention is also OK, including "Joule" Even though it is a sub-journal of "Cell", it is now very popular in the academic circle, but I think it may not be able to rise in a short while. In recent years, I estimate that the influence in recent years is likely to be between "Nature". Between the sub-journals and AM, the uncertainty of "Joule" is relatively large. "Nature·Energy" is relatively stable, and there is a good chance that the impact factor will exceed 40 in the future."
"Then tentatively decide "Nature Energy"," after a pause, Wei Xingsi added: "Speaking of "Joule", I have another idea."
Xu Qiu asked curiously: "What do you think?"
Wei Xingsi explained: "Later, we can write a review of non-fullerene systems, focusing on a series of ITIC materials we synthesized. Of course, this is not anxious now, and we will digest the work in a few months. Besides, our ITIC series is definitely a hot spot for organic photovoltaics in the future, or you can try to send Nat.Rev.Mater."
Nat.Rev.Mater., literally translated as "Nature·Material·Summary", is also a semi-new journal. It has just been launched and has reached the level of a major journal of "Nature". In principle, it only accepts reviews in material-related fields. The impact factor has exceeded 50+, and there is an upward trend. It is even expected to break through to 60+ and 70+ next year, which is even higher than the impact factor of Chem.Rev. under ACS and Chem.Soc.Rev. under RSC. high.
"Okay." Xu Qiu nodded. He hadn't thought about this before, because this type of review is exclusive to the big guys. For example, their research group created a more popular subdivision field, after a period of research. , Developed several kinds of materials, and then wrote a review to summarize the phased progress in this subdivision field and the prospects for future development.
This is usually in the form of direct submission by the journal. The big boss of the research group will directly come and write in person. Usually the number of authors is not too much, sometimes there are only one or two authors, and the big boss also directly writes and writes.
Of course, according to the situation in Wei Xingsi's group, there is a high probability that Xu Qiu will do the first work, and Wei will be the second communication, and there will be one or two other people in the middle.
After all, Xu Qiu is now a newcomer in the field of organic photovoltaics, but he does not have a deep awareness of it.
"I'll talk about it after the summary, let's do the job well first." Wei Xingsi said with a smile:
"I will contact the Swedish side and ask them to test this J2:IDIC-4F system first, um... I will call Feng Shengdong directly, he should be free now."
In the past six months, Wei Xingsi and Feng Shengdong have cooperated many times, and they have contributed many articles together, including the NC of Xu Qiu’s previous 3D-PDI system, Tian Qing’s Chem.Soc.Rev. review, Wu Feifei two-dimensional calcium An AEM and a JACS of Titanium Mine, and an NC of the H43:IT-4F system that Han Jiaying just voted out are all high-quality work.
The call was quickly dialed, because the two were familiar with each other, so they used video calls, which made it easier to judge whether the network was stuck.
Sitting on the side of Xu Qiu, you can see Feng Shengdong's head appearing on Wei Xingsi's phone screen, but Feng Shengdong cannot see Xu Qiu.
Judging from the external environment, the other party seems to be in his own office.
This is the first time Xu Qiu has seen Feng Shengdong's true face. He had only seen his portrait in Tian Qing's review article before.
The Feng Shengdong in the lens is of that kind of literary style. Looking over it, it feels like he is either a researcher or a doctor.
Wei Xingsi is straightforward: "There is good news. Our organic photovoltaic system has recently developed a new system with very good performance. We will send you a batch of samples for testing in a while. We plan to make a wave of "Nature Energy" for this system. ."
Feng Shengdong asked curiously: "Is "Nature·Energy" a new journal? I don't seem to have heard of it before." He paid more attention to journals in physics. He really didn't know that this new journal was material.
"Yes, it's a new journal," Wei Xingsi explained: "The new publication of "Nature" is at the same level as "Nature·Materials" and "Nature·Optics."
"Oh, that's it..." Feng Shengdong paused, and said, "Is this sample still going to be TAS?"
"Well...TAS, TRPL, you can do everything you can do," Wei Xingsi added: "Also, you have to write the analysis part this time. Last time, Xu Qiu's NC, in the end, it was yours. I'm dragging my feet."
"Before I did little in the organic field, and later I added a lot of organic literature," Feng Shengdong promised: "This time it must be no problem."
"That's good," Wei Xingsi nodded, then asked: "Right, do you want to bring T??nu this time?"
"..." Feng Shengdong thought for a moment, "Take him. It's hard to make sense if you don't take him in the "Nature" magazine. After all, you work under others."
"Okay, you can decide this yourself." Wei Xingsi teased: "In a few years, you can return to China and be your own boss."
"It's better to accumulate for a few more years. At least I have to wait until my assistant professor becomes an associate professor. I am afraid that when I return to China, I will be offered a six-year non-promotional teaching position. That would be too painful. "Speaking of this, Feng Shengdong couldn't help but shook his head.
This kind of system is just like the leap of the carp. The more it passes, the less it passes, the more miserable it is. There is even a risk of unemployment, so the pressure is very high.
Before Feng Shengdong met Wei Xingsi, he was still worried about this assessment. Now he has rubbed so many articles on AM, NC, and JACS. Although there is no work on one of them, most of them have been linked to the newsletter and can give him an assistant professor. With a lot of points added to the evaluation, the pressure was instantly relieved.
Feng Shengdong changed the subject: "This job was done by Xu Qiu in your team?"
Wei Xingsi: "Yes, he happened to be next to me... Xu Qiu, come to say hello."
Xu Qiu got up and waved to the camera: "Hello, Teacher Feng."
Feng Shengdong smiled and said, "Hello Xu Qiu, when will Teacher Wei take you to Sweden?"
Xu Qiu nodded without responding.
Wei Xingsi said: "Look at whether the Sino-Swiss STINT fund can be applied for. If so, I can find an opportunity to pass next year. Now the electronic version has been submitted, and the paper materials will be mailed in a few days, and the results will be issued at the end of the year. "
Feng Shengdong: "We applied for the T??nu name here. Basically, the green light is all the way. Your group has achieved so many results this year. It should be passed with a high probability in China. Moreover, there are not many research groups that can be done in the Sino-Swiss project. Big.
After a pause, Feng Shengdong asked again: "By the way, Teacher Wei, are you planning to apply for "Jieqing" this year, or do you plan to directly comment on "Yangtze River"?"
Wei Xingsi: "It's better to'Jieqing' first, and get more funds. The time to apply for'Jieqing' this year has been missed. At the beginning of the year, I felt that the results were not enough, so I didn't apply. I have to wait for the beginning of next year. Apply, I don’t know if there is a chance."
After the two chatted for a while, Wei Xingsi hung up.
"Jieqing" and "Yangtze River" are two parallel systems:
"Jieqing" refers to those who have applied for the "National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars", which is reviewed by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. After the review is passed, a fund project is obtained, which may be about 800,000 in four years. This fund belongs to a special project. , Does not conflict with common general projects, mainly examines academic achievements, and the review is relatively transparent;
The full name of "Yangtze River" is the "Yangtze River Scholars Award Program", which is reviewed by the Ministry of Education. It is relatively important for qualifications. It can get more salary subsidies from some countries every year, and the subsidies are too high. If the specially appointed professor of Changjiang River is appointed, it will last for 5 years. , Almost 20W a year, and because there are no academicians in the liberal arts field, the status of the "Yangtze River" in the liberal arts is approximately equal to that of the academicians in the liberal arts.
Because the review departments of "Jieqing" and "Yangtze River" are different, some are "Yangtze River" but not "Jieqing", and some are "Jieqing" but not "Yangtze River".
But relatively speaking, the number of "Yangtze River" is less than "Jieqing", the former is about 150 people per year, and the latter is about 200 people per year. Therefore, the "Yangtze River" is generally considered to be more powerful.
At the same time, both "Jieqing" and "Yangtze River" declarations are subject to age restrictions. The applicant is required to be under 45 years old when applying on January 1 of that year.
Like Wei Xingsi, who is close to 45 years old, he basically only has enough time to comment on one hat, and his time in China is relatively short. It is easier to comment on "Jieqing" than "Yangtze River". This is why he intends to start from "Jieqing". "The reason for starting.
If you have the "Jieqing" or "Yangtze River" hat, the probability of applying for the fund will increase a lot, and like key and major projects, "Jieqing" or "Yangtze River" is basically the threshold. Of course, these are all hidden rules. In the fund application guide, it will definitely not say "you don't have a hat, you won't give it to you", but in fact, it depends on the hat, unless your report is very well written, or the output of scientific research is very exaggerated.
In other words, when a group of fund applicants have similar writings in their notebooks and similar scientific research results, research funding will be inclined to those with bigger hats.
Of course ~EbookFREE.me~ Objectively speaking, in the same field, people with hats are more likely to be better than people without hats. Many researchers from "Yangtze River" and "Jieqing" compete for 350 positions each year. Some big guys can do both. If they don't have any real skills, it's still more difficult.
This is similar to the privileges of "Great God", "Platinum", and "LV5" in the Internet literary circle. Famous authors who open new books are directly recommended by APP splash screens, or even banned. LV1 Mengxin will wait for recommendations, 10W words Test the water push, and then from the corner of the web page "cold door classification", "annoying serial"... step by step promotion to have more opportunities for exposure.
After leaving Wei Xingsi's office, Xu Qiu made a work plan for this article to be submitted to "Nature·Energy".
Feng Shengdong tested TAS, Han Jiaying helped to prepare devices, perform JV characterization, EQE testing, Mo Wenlin went to NIM for third-party certification testing, Tian Qing was responsible for exciton binding energy, exciton diffusion distance, CELIV, TOF and other tests. Carry out light source GIWAXS, R-SoXS test.
As for writing articles and other characterization tests, including UV-vis, PL, CV, DSC, etc., Xu Qiu will do it himself.
