Hammer of Technology

Then there is the title, abstract, and keywords.

Filled in his unit, name and e-mail address again, because this paper was created independently by him, so the corresponding author defaults to himself.

Next is the welfare link. The author of the paper can recommend or apply to avoid several reviewers.

But this benefit is naturally useless to Ning Wei.

Anyway, he is not familiar with it.

When it came time to upload the thesis, according to the advice of the brothers on the forum, Ning Wei spent another 10 minutes writing a cover letter again, then rearranged the key elements of the thesis, uploaded the original manuscript of the thesis, and signed the copyright transfer agreement .

After confirming that all the files were ok, Ning Wei moved the mouse lightly and clicked the SUBMIT button.

Soon Ningwei received the background status displayed as: manuscript with editor.

According to a well-meaning brother on the forum post, this means that the paper has entered the editor-in-chief candidate system.

There may be several processes in the next step. First, the editor-in-chief conducts a preliminary review of the paper. If it is okay, it will be forwarded to the deputy editor-in-chief. At this time, the background status will change to associate editor assigned.

At this stage, the associate editor will look for reviewers to review the manuscript in more detail.Generally speaking, the deputy editor will arrange at least two, at most five or six reviewers to review according to the content of the paper. After the reviewers are confirmed, the background will prompt to enter the under review process.

This is the longest period of time.Because most of the reviewers are researchers or experts in related fields, they are voluntary reviewers, so it depends on luck when the manuscript can be reviewed, and it depends on whether the reviewers are busy recently.

It may be as short as a few days, and it is not uncommon for a long time to be a few months.

After all reviewers have reviewed the paper and replied to the deputy editor, the background will enter the manuscript with decision state.

At this time, there will be several results.

If the paper is received directly, the author will be notified by email in which issue the paper will be published.

Reject directly, there is nothing to say.

If revision is required, the author will be given a choice at this time, whether he is willing to revise.If you choose not to, it is equivalent to being rejected and unable to publish.

If so, the paper will enter the under revision process.The author will receive revision comments from the reviewers, and the author can revise the paper based on the comments, or directly refute the reviewer's comments and argue with reason.

Then resubmit the manuscript for review, and then enter the under review process again...

So after seeing the prompt of manuscript with editor, Ning Wei directly shut down the system.

Anyway, according to the normal process, he may not receive feedback until several months later, so there is no need to worry now.

After he was relieved in one breath, a heavy tiredness hit him instantly.

Looking at the three people who were still sleeping soundly, Ning Wei thought about it for a moment, and then simply climbed onto the bed.

It shouldn't be a big deal if you don't talk about hygiene once in a while, right?

012 A paper travel around the world

Britain is small, but London is big.

This is the mantra of Handel, the editor-in-chief of the world's top journal "Nature".

Whenever he introduced the city of London to friends from afar, he would introduce it like this.

It can be seen how deeply Handel loved this city.

Even if we wake up early in the morning, the window is still filled with mist, the sky is overcast, and the thick clouds seem to be able to squeeze out water at any time.But he was still in a good mood.

For an orthodox British gentleman, he is used to the rainy weather in London.

And there are happy events.

As he expected, the paper published in "Nature" that disproved the NS equation caused great repercussions in the entire academic circle.It is conceivable that in the next few months, "Nature" will welcome a large number of high-quality papers to explore this academic issue.

This paper was obtained through his personal relationship.

Originally, according to Smith's original intention, this paper was to be first published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" or "Science".

Not to say that Nature is bad, but Smith is a member of the National Academy of Sciences after all.

After all, there is also competition among the world's top journals, especially among comprehensive journals.

Whoever publishes more high-quality papers has a higher natural index.

High-quality papers like Smith's are bound to be controversial in the academic world, and they are even more sought-after. You must know that the impact factor is directly proportional to the number of citations.As a top player in the journal world, Nature is well aware of the benefits.

After all, every time it is refuted, it will also contribute an impact factor.

If it is finally proved that this paper is wrong, the manuscript will be withdrawn and the work will be over. The impact factor that should have been earned has been earned, so there is no shame.

Well, Handel has to admit, he doesn't like Americans.Because these bandits took away all the splendor and glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, but he liked Smith very much.

There are not many native-born Americans who are willing to do basic research in a down-to-earth manner.Of course, it may also be a family background. Smith's father was a highly respected mathematics professor.

Well, I thought about it again.

He greeted the secretary very gentlemanly, then walked into his office, hung his hat and black umbrella on the rack, and Handel sat at his desk and turned on the computer.

Soon the secretary came into the office and brought a cup of coffee.

Except for Monday and special circumstances, every morning is Handel's review time.

The secretary closed the door, and the computer just started up. When he took the first sip of coffee, there were several "ding dong" sounds in succession.

For Handel, it was an extremely pleasing sound.

Since the last submission system upgrade, the background can already filter through keywords to prioritize the types of papers the editor-in-chief wants to see.

This function is really very useful.

For example, when Smith's thesis caused shock, Handel naturally set the NS equation as a keyword.

Of course, he is not very interested in the paper he is writing now.

Because the real boss is still in the study stage at this moment, even if he wants to publish a paper to refute it, he will probably have to wait a little longer.

But he doesn't mind seeing the reaction.

Open the submission system, and sure enough, there are already two discussions about NS papers.

Handel opened the first article and spent a minute researching the author as usual.

Um, from Huaxia?

Still a student?

Well, it really is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Especially the title of the thesis, "On the Analysis of Three Mistakes in the Proof of the Existence and Smoothness of the Smith NS Equation".

Handel subconsciously moved the mouse to the reject button.

This is obviously very unreliable.

But his professionalism still made him click on the cover letter first.

Then Handel hesitated.

He is not a mathematician, and his doctoral research is not mathematics, but he clearly remembers what one of the previous reviewers, a mathematician, said to him.

"If there is a flaw in Smith's thesis, the high probability is the description and definition of the divergent situation. I am not sure that he is right for the time being, and I am also not sure that he is wrong."

Precisely in the cover letter, the first topic is about divergence.

Well, diverge...

At least it proves that this student from Huaxia is still of some level.

Or should let the reviewers see it.

The author did not block or designate a reviewer. Handel checked the clean draft of the paper. The author named Wei Ning did not leave any identity information in the clean draft of the paper.

In view of Ning Wei's identity, Handel decided to use double-blind review.

In short, neither the author nor the reviewers know each other's identity.

In fact, this kind of review method "Nature" only started to try it after soliciting opinions from various parties in recent years, but it is not used much.

Otherwise, the author will not be asked to recommend or apply for withdrawn reviewers in the solicitation system.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but Handel felt that the double-blind method of reviewing the mathematics paper written by the student still outweighed the disadvantages.

Now that Smith's thesis has been won, of course the greatest effect must be exerted.

As long as this paper is really good, why can't it be published?

So he naturally forwarded this paper to Roman Wilson, deputy editor-in-chief of the Washington editorial office, through the submission system.I believe that this doctor of mathematics should also be very interested in this paper.

……

Huaxia, Jiangcheng.

When Ning Wei woke up amidst the noise, it was already daylight.

The three people below were noisy and full of vigor.

"You still have a fellowship dormitory when you are a senior? Thank you for thinking of it!"

"Heh, the four girls in the dormitory are all single now. If you're not interested, and Liu Cong and I have seen each other, all of them are definitely above [-] percent, with no makeup! So, do you want to join our group?" You can do whatever you want."

"Hey, can I not participate? How about I fear that Ning's son will be limped by you!"

"Heh, Ning Wa is obviously our son, when did he become your son?"

……

Ning Wei picked up the phone speechlessly and glanced at it, it was 11:20.

He remembers going to bed around 08:30.

I've only slept for more than two hours, but I don't seem to feel sleepy at all.

If it had been changed before, he might be able to fall asleep again by closing his eyes.

But at this moment, he only felt refreshed. Of course, most importantly, he was very hungry. He had never been so hungry.

The kind of hunger that really feels like you can eat a cow can make people crazy.

So he turned over and got up.

"Ok?"

Three eyes focused on him.

"Who has something to eat? Pad me first. Mr. Xuan will treat you to lunch at noon today. It was agreed yesterday. The location is random, and I will leave after I finish washing."

013 Food Potential

Men dominated by love brains may change in two directions, most of them will become more stingy, and a few will become more generous.

But one thing is unified.

When asking others for love that has not yet been obtained, they usually become extremely generous.

Of course Xu Ruixuan would not be exempt.

After all, he is a normal young man with aspirations, and it is normal to long for girls.

College students like Ning Wei who would rather be single for another ten years and want to figure out what's going on in their brains are abnormal.

So he took the four of them to a self-service barbecue hot pot restaurant outside the school in a very grand manner.

"Eat whatever you want today! Don't be polite to me, if you don't eat enough, you are not allowed to leave!" Xu Ruixuan said very proudly.

"Get out! At the buffet place, don't pretend to be rich, okay?" Luo Xiang immediately said with contempt.

"Anyway, it's good to have something to eat, 78 alone." Liu Cong smoothed things over with a smile.

Ignoring the three people's bickering at all, Ning Wei had already put the meat on the plate.

The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable, and eating is the most important thing at this time.

The three plates of meat were brought over and poured all into the boiling small hot pot, with two cakes in his hands and stuffing them into his mouth.He even suddenly realized that Marlow's hierarchy of needs was simply too correct.

When the lowest needs are not met, any image, face, and spiritual needs are just floating clouds.

The hunger that has no place to rest will mobilize every cell in the body to protest against the brain.

This scene frightened the three of them.

"Baby Ning, when did you become so edible? As for being so hungry? Didn't Lao Luo bring you five dishes, one soup and two chicken legs last night?"
