Chapter 33 American Journal of Mathematics

American Journal of Mathematics Society Conference Hall. Editor Jack turned his pen boredly, listening to the editor-in-chief John’s eloquent speeches in the front row, “In the future, the review work of the journal should focus on speeding up the review speed, for some well-known professors’ papers or papers on solving well-known problems. , but also to speed up the review. Knowing what is most important in the 21st century is time, and time is the life of our magazines. Now many European magazines even publish papers that have not been peer-reviewed. Of course, we are on the world. The most well-known mathematics journal cannot do this. We must guarantee the authenticity of the results of the paper. But I hope that the editors here can speed up the review.”

“lucie, the last paper on discrete mathematics, Your review speed is too slow. As a result, the author retracted the manuscript and has now published it on “The Mathematician”. I hope that in the future, everyone will prevent this kind of thing from happening. The competition is very fierce.” Editor-in-chief John named and criticized the female editor who was playing with his mobile phone.

“Accelerating the review speed means less vacation time. Does the editor-in-chief really think that those old-fashioned math professors are so good at talking?” Jack, who was turning his pen, had a lot of opinion on the editor-in-chief’s words, “Every time I personally went to communicate with them, if the review speed is accelerated, those professors should have opinions.”

John, the editor-in-chief, saw that the editors in the audience did not agree with the proposal to speed up the review speed. , went on to say: “Accelerating the review speed mainly refers to speeding up the review of papers of well-known problems. At the same time, our magazine should expand the layout of well-known problems. Although the papers published in the mathematical journals have been verified, the mathematical problems are not divided into high. and low . But well-known problems can lead to more sales and can lead to greater fame. Remember that although we are a math journal, we are not old-fashioned. Of course, if the editors here are successful in The journal recommends a successful paper in a well-known problem area, and you can get double the bonus at the end of the month.”

It seems that the strategy of stick and carrot is still easy to use, and the editors in the audience have agreed.

Yan Da

Li Mo is searching for well-known mathematical journals on his mobile phone. The requirements of the system task must be A-Rank papers, so the “Mathematics Monthly” where Wei Xiaonian works will definitely not work. , otherwise he wouldn’t have to worry so much now.

Thinking of Wei Xiaonian, Li Mo saw the young man in a riding suit. He was able to enter Yan University to thank two people, one is Professor Wu, and the other is Wei Xiaonian.

Looking at the pedestrians on the roadside already wearing long sleeves, Li Mo realized that he had been living unconsciously in Yanda for two months. Since they parted with Wei Xiaonian at the school gate, they have not been in contact. So he called Wei Xiaonian’s phone.

“Li Mo, why did you remember to call me, did you encounter any difficulties?” Wei Xiaonian on the other side of the phone didn’t expect Li Mo to call him. In his impression, Li Mo is a nerd.

Li Mo, who was punctuated by Wei Xiaonian’s words, said sorry: “Brother Wei, it’s like this, I want to publish a paper, but I don’t know what journal to publish it in.”

Wei Xiaonian was a little excited when he heard the publication of the paper. Li Mo’s last paper could raise his status in the “Mathematics Monthly” quite high, and he asked with anticipation: “It was published in our “Mathematics Monthly”, I also I can check it out for you.”

Li Mo said sorry: “I’m sorry, Brother Wei, I need to publish an A-Rank paper this time.”

“A- Rank paper.” Obviously the opposite Wei Xiaonian was silent for a moment. He didn’t expect Li Mo to publish an A-Rank paper. Type A journals are usually very academic journals, most of which are core journals or some key points. Authoritative journals such as academic journals. “Mathematics Monthly” is only a magazine for middle school students, of course it is not an A-Rank journal.

“Then do you want to publish it in China or abroad?” Wei Xiaonian, who had reacted, put down his thoughts of winning and asked.

Li Mo didn’t know the mood changes of Wei Xiaonian on the other side of the phone. He said, “It can be done at home or abroad, just publish it as soon as possible.” The sooner you publish it, the faster you can complete the task. slow.

“If you want to publish as soon as possible, I recommend that you submit to a foreign journal. As long as your paper is of good quality, their review speed will be faster than that in China. However, those who publish papers in foreign journals The difficulty is relatively high, because most domestic mathematicians are relatively weak in writing papers in foreign languages.” Wei Xiaonian knew that in order to ensure the correctness of papers, many domestic authoritative journals would invite many experts to review, and sometimes a paper could be delayed for several days. months to publish.

“By the way, can I ask what math problem you wrote the paper about?” Wei Xiaonian is more interested in the papers written by a genius who can solve world-level problems in his first year of high school.

Li Mo said a little sorry: “It’s about the four-color conjecture. The specific thesis idea has been completed, but it has not been written as a paper.”

“The four-color conjecture?” Wei Xiaonian I’m a little confused, “Isn’t the four-color conjecture proved by the computer exhaustively?”

“I proved the four-color conjecture by mathematical logic reasoning.” Li Mo replied .

“Really? Mathematical logic proves the four-color conjecture?” Wei Xiaonian started, the four-color conjecture may seem simple, but it is not a small name in the history of mathematics, and the graph theory derived from it has become a mathematical one New Direction. This 17-year-old boy actually proved the four-color conjecture. Is there really a genius in the world?

Li Mo felt the surprise of Wei Xiaonian on the other side of the phone, he said calmly: “It’s true, the specific ideas have been completed. I just need to write a paper and publish it.”

Wei Xiaonian calmed down and said, “If you take the four-color conjecture as the topic, I recommend that you publish it in the American Mathematical Journal. They like to include papers on world titles.”

Sure enough, Wei Xiaonian still understands matters in the mathematical world. Li Mo felt that he had made the right call. He said gratefully, “Thank you, Brother Wei, I will send you a sample when the paper is published.”

etc. Papers published a sample journal.. Does the youngster across the phone really think that publishing a paper in an A-Rank journal is picking up cabbage?

However, he kindly reminded him: “Li Mo, I still suggest you show it to Professor Wu after you finish your thesis. You must know that for a mathematician, academic reputation is a must It’s important.” He was afraid that Li Mo would make an own-goal mistake.

“Thank you Brother Wei for reminding me, I will.”

After hanging up Wei Xiaonian’s phone, Li Mo is very confident that he is very good at his thesis and writing ability. Confidence, after all, academic paper specialization is a very useful skill.
