From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 5 Paper Publishing
The next day, at night, Ye Fei finished writing the thesis and sent it to his tutor.

Professor Lu started watching that night.

"The quality of this paper..." Professor Lu was a little surprised: "Yes, there are basically no mistakes. Even if there are mistakes, they are still some minor flaws."

Professor Lu has read Ye Fei's undergraduate thesis, and he can't say it's good, but he has some ideas, but it's not too good, not even top-notch.

But looking at Ye Fei's thesis now, the quality is very good.

He had some doubts about what Ye Fei had experienced this year to improve his ability so much.

Professor Lu muttered to himself: "I don't usually teach him much. I just let him read some literature and occasionally take him to do some scientific research projects."

Postgraduate graduate students generally read literature, attend classes, and write papers.

If you are a major with many experiments like chemistry, you will go to the laboratory to familiarize yourself with the experimental tools and processes.

Occasionally, the seniors or mentors will take some scientific research with them.

In the second year of graduate school, I will read literature, open projects, do scientific research, and write papers.

Research three is to find a job, write a thesis, or take a doctoral exam.

Generally, scientific research is done in the second research, and the first research is rarely done.

"It seems that after the summer vacation, I can take him to do some difficult scientific research projects."

Professor Lu sent the paper to Ye Fei. After receiving the paper, Ye Fei revised it according to the tutor's prompt, and then sent it to the tutor.

This time, Professor Lu didn't make further revisions, the places that should be changed have already been revised, and then Professor Lu asked Ye Fei to come to his office.

Professor Lu's office.

After Ye Fei sat down, Professor Lu said, "Have you decided which journal to submit to?"

Ye Fei was a little confused, and said, "Mentor, let's not talk about which journal to submit to. Will the school reimburse the money for this submission?"

Paper submissions require page fees, and general journals are divided into provincial journals, national journals, and core journals.

Provincial periodicals are generally [-] to [-], national periodicals are generally [-] to [-], and core periodicals are generally several thousand.

Medical journals are the most expensive, reaching tens of thousands.

If it is SCI, the page fee is generally [-] to [-], and a small part is more than [-].

The minimum is [-], which is quite expensive for a student, and the living expenses for a week are gone.

However, CSCD is a core journal, and a page fee costs several thousand yuan, which Ye Feizhen can't afford.

"Where do you want to go?" Professor Lu couldn't laugh or cry: "If the school reimburses all the students' contributions, then the school will not go bankrupt."

"Hey..." Ye Fei was full of confusion: "Teacher, why don't I vote for CSCD, the page fee is too expensive, I can't afford it, you also know my family situation, my family runs a small noodle restaurant, family With an annual income of over [-] yuan, my monthly living expenses are only [-] yuan."

If he votes for SCI, Ye Fei doesn't need to be so entangled.

If the thesis enters SCI, the school will reward you.

Depending on the impact factor, the rewards are also different.

The minimum is 50, and the maximum is [-].

But the trick is that the CSCDA area is equivalent to the first and second areas of SCI, but there is no reward for voting in CSCD, only for SCI.

Professor Lu shook his head amusedly, and said, "Okay, I've already thought it out for you. Your paper will be attached to my scientific research project, and the submission fee will be reimbursed from the scientific research project."

Ye Fei raised his head in surprise, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher."

Then he hesitated and said, "Mentor, do you want to do this, at the school?"

Research funding schools need to be investigated, and if there is a problem, the person in charge of scientific research must be held accountable.

Professor Lu said: "I'll just put your name in the scientific research project when the time comes, and the school won't be able to find out."

Ye Fei was relieved when he heard this.

"Come on, have you decided which journal to submit to?" Professor Lu asked.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know, mentor, do you have any recommendations?"

After thinking for a while, Professor Lu said: "The quality of your paper is good, and there should be no problem in Area A, but Area A is also divided into many journals, and the difficulty of reviewing different journals is different."

There are many journals in Xiaguo, but the three most famous ones are PKU, CSCD and CSSCI.

The full name of PKU is Kyoto University Library.

The full name of CSCD is the Literature and Information Center of Xiaguo Academy of Sciences.

The full name of CSSCI is Jinling University Chinese Social Science Citation Index.

CSSCI is a bit more advanced than CSCD.

Papers that enter CSCD and are included in CSSCI are classified as Category A, the rest are Category B, and Category C belongs to journals that are not included in CSCD.

"The best journals in category A in mathematics are Huaxia Science, Science Bulletin and Journal of Mathematics, followed by Mathematics Research and Discussion, Mathematics Annual, Journal of Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Mathematics Progress."

"Then followed by System Science and Mathematics, Applied Probability and Statistics, Journal of Computational Mathematics for Universities, Journal of Applied Mathematics for Universities, and Journal of Mathematical Physics."

"I suggest you vote for Systems Science and Mathematics."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

He didn't understand this aspect, so he naturally listened to his instructor's advice.

"You know the rules for submitting papers!" Professor Lu said.

"Of course I know." Ye Fei said with a smile: "First post the paper on Arxiv, occupy the slot, and then send the paper to the journal."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "Then you can go back and vote. Wait until you vote, after the review is passed, and after you receive the email, you can send me a screenshot of the email, and I will reimburse you."

"Okay." Ye Fei stood up and said, "Goodbye, mentor!"

After returning, Ye Fei first posted the paper on Arxiv, and then sent the paper to the editors of the Journal of Systems Science and Mathematics.

Lu Yishan, the corresponding author of the paper, and Ye Fei, the first author, are from the School of Mathematics, Zhonghu University, Shaqiu City, Zhonghu Province.

After the thesis was sent out, Ye Fei let out a long breath and finally finished it.

He glanced at the system and found that the task had been completed and he got 5 points.

At this time, the time has come to the beginning of May, and there are more than 20 days before the summer vacation.

Ye Fei looked at the other three roommates, who were still desperately writing their thesis.

He felt very comfortable in his heart. When something was successful, the sense of accomplishment and relaxation was very refreshing.

It's even more refreshing to see others working hard.

Human happiness is often caused by the pain of others, so happiness is not connected.

"What are you doing?" Ye Feixin said, "Go to Stack Exchange."

During this time, in addition to writing papers, he also spends half an hour to an hour every day watching Arxiv and Stack Exchange.

This taught him a lot.

As soon as he entered Stack Exchange, he received a message from Gao Fei.

"Hey, what do you know about singular bases?"

The singular cardinality problem belongs to the set theory problem, and it is also one of the unsolved mathematical problems, and it appeared earlier than the continuum hypothesis problem.

There is a problem called the cardinality problem of powers of infinite sets.

This problem is a problem of determining the continuum hypothesis, while the cardinality problem of determining the power of an infinite set is a problem requiring a singular cardinality.

This is a circular, singular cardinality provable cardinality problem for powers of infinite sets.

The cardinal problem of powers of infinite sets can prove the problem of continuum hypothesis.

"Singular cardinality?" Ye Fei replied after thinking for a moment: "I know it can be used on the Cartesian product potential of an uncountable set."

"And if you prove a singular base, you need to use a regular base."

Singular bases are also called non-regular bases, which are the opposite of regular bases.

Gao Fei said: "I see that you answered two days ago to use the axiom of choice to solve the power operation of the cardinal number. This is a problem of singular cardinal numbers. How about it? Are you interested?"

Ye Fei was stunned, this is a strange base, a century-old problem that no one has solved so far.

Of course there is interest, but you have to do what you can!
No one dares to talk big about solving such a difficult topic!
Gao Fei said: "Don't put too much pressure on you, we don't want to solve it, just explore this problem."

Ye Fei let out a long breath, frightening him to death, thinking that this person was going to solve the problem of singular base numbers!
"Yes!" Ye Fei said.

After speaking, Ye Fei created a task in the system.

[Task: Explore the singular cardinality problem (0%)
Details: Do not ask for a complete solution, only part of the exploration, it is best to write a paper

Reward: 100 points]

"100 points?" Ye Fei was stunned: "Is this task difficult?"

The rewards were not set by him, but automatically set by the system according to the difficulty of the task he created.

But it can also be seen from the points that it is twenty times more difficult than publishing a CSCD paper.

"Ye Fei, have you handed in your thesis?" Zhuang Nan asked.

"En!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Envy!" Zhuang Nan said.

"Ye Fei!" Zhou Lin said, "Help me write, how about a hot pot meal?"

"Ye Fei, help me, I'll introduce you to a girl." Xu Tian said.

"Get out!" Ye Fei looked at them and scolded angrily, "I regard money as dung and women as enemies. Don't use money and women to confuse me."

Zhou Lin and Xu Tian were stunned. If they don't help, they won't help. Don't have any trouble with money and women!

These two things are the goals of a man's lifelong struggle.

If a man does not fight for money and women, he will lose his purpose in life.

Life without purpose is like walking dead.

Ye Fei stood up and said, "Tell me, if you have any questions, I can help you, but one meal of hot pot is not enough, at least three meals."

"Sister, I want high quality."

"Haha, yes!" Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Isn't it just three hot pot meals, the Lord is not short of money."

"The quality must be high, you have to trust me." Xu Tian said.
