Chapter 433: The work of journal editors

Next, the higher-level articles are left with only one JACS work based on the modification of the ITIC molecular structure.
They changed the one-dimensional linear conjugate structures IDT and IDTT of the central D unit of ITIC to have two-dimensional conjugate structures PC and DTPC, and the ICIN unit at the end remained unchanged.
In the end, two non-fullerene acceptor materials named PCIC and DTPCIC were obtained. The device combining these two acceptors and the PCE10 donor material has a maximum efficiency of over 10%.
Although the performance of the device is not particularly top-notch, it can be regarded as a feasible synthesis idea.
The corresponding author of the article is Xu Qiu who still has some impressions, mainly because his name is more recognizable.
In addition, when Xu Qiu saw an article by Jen, he found that all the authors except him under the title of the article were domestic.
At that time, Xu Qiu preconceived that this should be a foreign research group, so his first reaction was: "Could it be that this foreigner has a special hobby and likes to collect domestic students?"
Then take a closer look, Jen's work unit is actually a friend school, Magic City Jiaotong University, which turned out to be a specially-appointed foreign teacher.
Although the general trend in the scientific research circle in the past few years has been for domestic researchers to go abroad, there will also be people from other countries who go to China. Just like people with "cents" and "exquisite" in China, foreigners also have relatives. Chinese.
When the sample size is large enough, people with various ideas can be observed.
However, at Magic University, apart from the English Department, the number of foreign teachers in other majors is still relatively rare.
For example, the Department of Materials has only one foreign teacher, and he is still a small boss under the name of someone else's research group, and he doesn't have much sense of existence.
The remaining non-fullerene receptor-related documents are all journals with weaker regions one and two.
Among them, there is only one work on modification based on the molecular structure of ITIC, but their efficiency has not been improved, only 8%, and it was posted on JMCA.
Most of the other articles are based on existing commercial materials, such as ITIC series materials, as well as Xu Zhenghong's IDTBR series materials. Buying them and mixing them up, they did not make a breakthrough in efficiency, focusing on 9%. -11%.
Therefore, the grades of these articles are not up to the level of the top issue in a district.
After reading all the documents, Xu Qiu ran 218 and discussed with Wei Xingsi about the idea of ​​another "Joule".
Xu Qiukan talked: "I just saw Xu Zhenghong's "Joule" article, they... our group is now doing the work of Chen Wanqing sister... "Joule" journal... Therefore, I think I can try to vote for this job. "joule"."
"Hmm..." After listening, Wei Xingsi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "You can write in the format of "Joule" first, and I will send the draft directly to the editor-in-chief of "Joule" before submission, and let him take a look. Is there any problem."
Under normal circumstances, there is no direct communication between the editor and the contributor, except for CoverLetter when the article is submitted.
However, if you are familiar with the editor, you can also send an email to exchange information, such as making an appointment, consulting hot directions in the recent field, or not going through the formal submission process, and privately sending the manuscript to the editor for the other party Suggestions or something.
There are many private submissions.
On the one hand, you can get targeted guidance from the editor and revise the manuscript repeatedly until the manuscript is revised to the editor’s satisfaction before you formally submit the manuscript.
If you submit a manuscript through the official submission channel, firstly, the manuscript may not be in the hands of the editor you know. Secondly, after receiving the manuscript, the editor has only two options, either directly reject the manuscript or send it to the reviewer. Can't change it.
Of course, if you are a giant, there may be hidden options, which are directly published without reviewing the manuscript...
On the other hand, there are no submission records for private submissions.
The absence of submission records means that there will be no rejection records. Even if the editors of the manuscripts are not satisfied after repeated revisions, they can be second best and submit the manuscript to a lower-grade journal under the same journal company.
However, if the manuscript is officially rejected, there will be a record of rejection in the same journal company. If you submit the manuscript to the journal company again, the chance of winning the manuscript will decrease.
Of course, it is not so easy to get online with editors.
Especially if you want to get acquainted with the editors of top-level journals, it is even more difficult.
Either you had a personal relationship before the other party became an editor, such as a former classmate, or you are a bigwig in the industry, or even if you take the initiative to find an editor, the other party will most likely not pay attention to you.
Most periodical companies are headquartered in Europe and the United States. Now that the voices of flower growers in the scientific research circle are getting louder and louder, many periodical companies have also set up branches in China, generally in first-tier cities.
For example, Modu has a branch of Wiley's AM series journals.
The editor-in-chief is of course foreigners, but there will also be several domestic editors. The editorial team is small, with only a dozen people.
Not long ago, AM editor Zhang Yude also gave a report to the Magic City University, and Xu Qiu also went to audit at that time.
Zhang Yude looks quite young, probably in his early thirties. His report is half an hour, including a 20-minute PPT presentation and a 10-minute on-site Q&A.
[Send red envelope] Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! Follow the weixin public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to draw red envelopes!
In the PPT report, he mainly talked about the development history of the AM series of journals, as well as new journals to be published in the future. There is also a specific review process for manuscripts, including the precautions for writing CoverLetter, how the journal editor will select reviewers and submit the manuscript. Is the suggestion that the reviewer fills in at the time useful, under what circumstances will the article be accepted, and under what circumstances will it be recommended to be resubmitted, etc...
There were a lot of people going to the venue at that time, and many people wanted to show their faces and get online with the editor.
However, most people just get a mailbox, and this mailbox is originally public and useless.
After the meeting, Zhang Yude paid a special visit to Wei Xingsi's research group, which was also part of his schedule.
After all, this year's group has contributed a lot of high-quality articles to AM, among which Xu Qiu has two major-level AM articles.
Xu Qiu was also there when Zhang Yude and Wei Xingsi were drinking tea and chatting.
During the chat, Xu Qiu learned about Zhang Yude’s resume. He started his Ph.D. study in beautiful country. After graduating from his Ph.D., he did not choose to continue doing scientific research. Instead, he joined Wiley, and then worked at the headquarters of beautiful country for four years. The editor of AM's sub-Journal AFM, later transferred back to China as an editor of AM, and has been working in Magic City for more than a year.
In addition, the editing line is also qualified. Zhang Yude said that because of his nationality, if he wants to continue to rise, it is not small to become the editor-in-chief.
My usual job is to sit in a normal office, review manuscripts, and occasionally go out to some colleges and universities to do reports, or go back to the headquarters of the beautiful country to report on work. Although I am stationed in the magic city, I have to run around the world from time to time.
After some exchanges, Xu Qiu felt that the editor of AM journals is still a very good job.
First of all, the position of journal editors in the academic circle is naturally relatively high, because the editor has a lot of power to speak whether the article can be passed.
Secondly, the probability of salary will not be low. Although Zhang Yude did not disclose it, it is estimated to be based on the salary level of the beautiful country, that is, the income is US dollars, and people spend soft sister coins in China, even if the monthly income is only 4000 knives, 5W knives per year, and 30W soft sister coins after conversion.
Finally, the job of journal editors is relatively stable. As long as there are no problems such as accepting bribes and abuse of power, they are generally unlikely to be fired.
Of course, good treatment, high barriers to entry, doctorate degree, foreign scientific research experience, very good English ability, and very familiar with the research progress of at least one scientific research field are all basic requirements.
Not only that, but you also need to improve your understanding of a field and your ability to review articles through continuous learning.
On Friday, Xu Qiu received a text message from Bank of Communications, stating:
"The credit card has been processed, and you can pick up the card at the site where you applied for the credit card. The approved amount is 1W2 for the soft sister currency account and 2000 for the US dollar account."
After arriving at the office, Xu Qiu asked Feifei Wu and Jiaying Han and learned that both of them had passed their credit card applications. It seems that the three of them passed together in one batch.
However, the upper limit of the amount of the two sister credit card soft sister currency accounts is higher than that of Xu Qiu. Wu Feifei is 1W4, and the school girl is 2W. There is no difference between the US dollar account and both are 2000 dollars.
Xu Qiu didn't expect to apply for a credit card, but he was treated differently. Does it look down on men's spending power? Watch out, male fist warns!
However, he thought about it carefully, and felt that it might be because he usually didn’t have any credit records. For example, he had never consumed in advance, nor had he used software such as Huabei and Baitiao. The credit record is just one. A blank sheet of paper.
The bank's risk control system is difficult to define Xu Qiu's default risk, so he adopted a more cautious strategy.
At noon, Xu Qiu and the three went to the Bank of Communications to pick up the card. Under the guidance of the staff, they filled in some materials and downloaded a mobile phone APP software "Pay the bill", and bound the credit card that they just got to the software. To credit card.
Subsequently, the three returned to Caiyi216. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Tian Qing was paddling at her desk to chase the drama. After seeing Wu Feifei and the others, he proactively greeted: "Is the credit card ready?"
"It's done," Wu Feifei nodded and asked: "By the way, we also downloaded a Pay it bill app. What's the use of this app?"
"Oh, this, it's still useful." Tian Qing explained: "You can view the details of each expenditure, and you can also set permissions, such as restricting consumption, or setting a single-day single-payment upper limit, and then go to the consumption Turn it on again at a later time, otherwise it may be stolen. Of course, the chance of being stolen is not high."
After a pause, Tian Qing said self-consciously: "Besides, you are finally going abroad, there will definitely be someone looking for you to do the purchasing agent. As a person who is here, I will remind you first. If you don’t do it, you can’t do it. , For non-professional purchasing agents like us, the prices may not be much cheaper than domestic purchases. If you must help people to purchase, remember to buy them at the airport's duty-free shop..."
Speaking of this, Tian Qing was in possession of the show, and after taking two cigarettes, he continued: "I went abroad for the first time to buy a piece of Coyan's white clay. I bought it in a physical store in the beautiful country commercial area. After returning to China, I found that the price was 20% more expensive than Taobao..."
