Chapter 427: Roll up your sleeves and do 1 game

This review document for the promotion of associate professors must finally issue review opinions, including evaluation of the applicant, a hundred-point scoring on several dimensions such as scientific research, teaching, and final opinions.
Xu Qiu created a new WORD file, combined with the situation in Jin Dengping’s application, and first simply wrote some comments, which add up to more than 100 words to be some clichés: "The applicant has achieved fruitful academic achievements in five years. Or as the corresponding author, published 14 SCI articles in total..."
Next is the specific scoring of each assessment. Xu Qiu gave him a score of 90 or more. After all, Jindeng Square's performance was pretty good, and the final average score was 92, which means he was in an excellent position.
The final opinion was "suggest that the applicant should become a regular candidate for approval."
After finalizing the review comments, Xu Qiu took the paper materials and the WORD file copied to the U disk to 218.
Pay attention to the public account: book friends base camp, pay attention to send cash and coins!
As soon as he walked in, Wei Xingsi said with a smile: "Xu Qiu, you are here, I was going to come to you for something...Is that associate professor who has been transferred and applied for your review? How is he?"
"Overall is not bad," Xu Qiu briefly commented: "Fourteen SCIs in five years. In addition, teaching and training students are also qualified..."
"Then let him pass," Wei Xingsi nodded and added: "There should be a few hundred dollars in review fees afterwards. I don't know how much it is. I will wait for the money to be paid by the Fadong University of Technology. Come here, I'll transfer it to you."
Xu Qiu let out a "um", and then handed the paper materials and USB flash drive to Teacher Wei: "I have written specific opinions and scoring in WORD."
"Okay, let's do this first." Wei Xingsi backed his hands, tapped on the desk with the knuckles of the and index finger, and changed his conversation: "There is good news, your "Nature Energy" article, before I haven’t heard anything for more than a month. I sent a letter to the editor to remind me. Then I just received a reply from the editor. He said that he is still waiting for the opinion of the last senior expert reviewer. He sent a total of five for review. The reviewer, the four comments currently returned to him are all positive."
"This time we had better luck. According to the current situation, it is estimated that in one or two weeks at most, the final review comments will be back." Wei Xingsi paused and said with excitement: "This "Nature Energy" Probability of being able to hit the draft!"
"That's really good news." Xu Qiu was also quite happy.
Since the editor has said so, I am definitely more optimistic about this work at the moment. As long as the last senior expert doesn’t put out something, then the opinion of the final article should be major or minor revisions, and then just take the reviewer’s questions If everything is resolved, send it back for another round of review, and the article will almost be officially accepted.
Although it is easy to reject a large article like this, the card is more strict at the beginning, but basically, as long as it is submitted for review and the manuscript is not rejected for the first time, the probability of being rejected after revision will be relatively lower. This is especially true if there are no negative comments in the review comments.
Unlike some small articles, it may be tricky. First, make a big change. After you work hard for a week and a half, you may be rejected if you send it back. In the end, you can only switch to it, which is simply torturing the king.
The elder sister encountered such a situation when she was in the master's degree. At that time, she initially submitted to a three-region journal. After submission, major revisions, major revisions, rejections, resubmissions, and major revisions...
It took more than half a year, and the article was finally published after several rounds.
"This "Nature Energy" and the "Joule" review article, it is estimated that the results will come out years ago..." Wei Xingsi put his cheek in one hand, thought for a while, and said: "I think we can organize like Gong Yuanjiang before. An academic exchange meeting is scheduled for December. Just about the application for the key projects of our group next year, I will also discuss and match up with Gong Yuanjiang, and meet other colleagues to get some news. Xu Qiu, what do you think? ?"
"I think it's okay." Xu Qiu naturally had no opinion.
"That's all right, I recently sent a letter to these people in China and asked if they have time," Wei Xingsi paused and continued: "In addition, I also contact Feng Shengdong to see if he is free. If he can Come, tell others about laser analysis methods like TAS. I guess these people in China are still more interested. Most research groups don't have a channel to test this."
Xu Qiu nodded. He found that after Wei Xingsi learned that "Nature·Energy" was likely to win the manuscript, he became more confident. He looked like he was going to roll up his sleeves and do a big job. a feeling of.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that in the field of organic photovoltaics, an experimental work type that can be published in the
Nature
journal, that is, the format of Article, this kind of article, its weight or meaning is very close to that of publication. It is published in the CNS main journal, which means that this job is one of the top jobs in the field.
The main reason is that there are more and more scientific research workers in the world, and good jobs are emerging in an endless stream. The CNS main journal has only three journals. In order to ensure the gold content and influence, the number of articles accepted each year cannot be expanded arbitrarily, then the best will be selected. , Make some trade-offs.
How to choose?
Periodical companies are most concerned about maintaining their academic influence, so they will inevitably tend to chase hot spots.
In other words, jobs from popular fields, or fields that are easily crossed with other fields, will be especially sought after by CNS.
When they publish such articles, they are more likely to be paid attention to by more scientific researchers and continue to increase their influence.
A typical example is graphene. Because of its excellent physical and chemical properties, this material can be used in almost any material and chemistry-related fields.
Like Wei Xingsi's group in the perovskite field and the hotspot area, graphene is present. Even in the organic photovoltaic field, Xu Qiu has seen someone go to the hotspot of graphene and wrote a few small articles on the second area.
Therefore, if you want to publish a comprehensive journal like CNS, the less popular areas will definitely not compete in the hot areas.
Articles of the same grade, popular areas can be published in the main journal of "Nature", less popular areas may only be published in the "Nature" major journals under the corresponding category. If it is a very unpopular area, try to vote. The words in the "Nature" series were either included in the corresponding "Nature" kid magazine, or included in the comprehensive journal "Nature Communications".
Because of this, researchers in some unpopular fields are not willing to go to the CNS to join in the fun and be boring. Instead, they build their own small circles and enclose themselves. For example, in physics-related fields, they have run many journals that only include basic research in physics. The impact factor is not high, but the influence in the circle is very high.
In addition, in the field of organic photovoltaics, in recent years, most of the articles at the level of CNS or "Nature" journals are published by foreign research groups, mainly in beautiful countries.
Among them, the bosses of many research groups are Chinese. As mentioned earlier, around 2000, many people went abroad to find opportunities for breakthroughs. Some people chose to go back to China directly after the breakthroughs, and these people belonged to that kind of breakthrough and were affected by other sects. The door was abducted.
At present, there are only a handful of these research groups in the field of organic photovoltaics in China that have published a large number of journals in Nature in recent years, and the former Xu Zhenghong research group is named.
Therefore, if Xu Qiu's "Nature·Energy" can be published, it will definitely cause a sensation in the domestic organic photovoltaic field.
After all, articles of such a grade as the "Nature" major journals or CNS main journals, even top researchers at the level of "Yangtze River" and "Jieqing", can't be published if they want to publish.
In the scientific research circle, it is very difficult to continuously produce high-quality results. Many people drive high and low. They may have published a "Nature" during the postdoctoral period or when they first started teaching, and then rely on a "Nature" review. After the completion of "Excellent Youth", there will be no more scientific research work of the same level.
When this happens, it may be a problem of luck, such as too good luck before or too bad luck later, or it may be due to laziness. After all, there are so many temptations in life.
Moreover, for a pyramid-shaped upgrade structure, the higher the road, the more difficult it is. Therefore, a small number of people will choose to be comfortable, for example, with thoughts like this:
Since I'm already a "excellent youth", I simply stay here for the elderly. Anyway, I can't get up, but I can't fall down. I just water a few articles every year to complete scientific research tasks, and then I drink tea every day and occasionally go out. Having a meeting, life is so pleasant.
About the organization of the meeting, Wei Xingsi asked Xu Qiu: "How is the situation on Lanhe recently?"
Xu Qiu responded: "You can also ~EbookFREE.me~ Now Chen Wanqing and Han Jiaying go to do experiments every week. Both of the scratching jobs can now write articles. That is, I have a lot of things this week. Not much."
"I understand," Wei Xingsi nodded and continued to ask, "What about Blue River Optoelectronics, how is the progress of material development?"
Xu Qiu replied: "Now ITIC, -4F and other materials have been developed. So far, there are two orders, one is Ma Weiwei from Ancheng Jiaotong University, and the other is Bao Yuanyou from Beijing Air University."
The second order was just a few days ago, and Bao Yuanyou's research group was relatively rich and bought one gram of ITIC directly.
Now that the non-fullerene material of ITIC has spread in the domestic organic photovoltaic circle, many researchers, even if they did not mainly do non-fullerene before, now see the hot scene of non-fullerene, they will let students buy something. If the material comes back to try it, maybe you mix it with your own material, what kind of strange "chemical reaction" is there?
"Ma Weiwei..." Wei Xing missed the name again: "Unexpectedly, she also returned to China."
