Tech Hammer

Once again preparing to hit the top SCI journal, Ning Wei is no longer like the headless fly he was the first time.

After roughly studying the impact of the top journals with the highest natural factors, there is no doubt that this letter is not suitable for nature.

If number theory can be related to natural science, then this algorithm category is more relevant and applied. "Cell" is specifically aimed at life sciences, so "Science" is undoubtedly more suitable.

The only problem is probably that he doesn't have much confidence in releasing "Science" this time.

After all, he had just refuted the results of an American mathematician in Nature, and Science happens to be an American journal.

Although he felt that the editors-in-chief of these top journals would probably not bear such grudges, there were so many scholars who wanted to be included in the top journals in each issue, so it was normal for his article not to be included.

Fortunately, Ning Wei has a good attitude and it is just a letter anyway.

Even if it cannot be published in such a comprehensive top publication, there are still JACM, IJCV, and AI to choose from.

Soon, Ning Wei filled in all the content step by step as required and clicked the submit button.

It is worth mentioning that when Ning Wei filled in the author, he thought about it and included the names of Yu Xingwei and three graduate students.

After all, people work overtime with him every day, so they still have to get the benefits they deserve.

But Ning Wei didn't plan to tell them until the paper was confirmed to be published.

What follows is a long wait.

Only this time, Ning Wei obviously did not receive any preferential treatment. A week passed, and the status of the paper has not changed. It has always been manual with editor.

There is no other way. If you want to be submitted to the top publication, queuing up is inevitable.

Fortunately, he had a lot of things to do recently, and the day passed by in a flash. When he remembered it at night and went to check, he felt sleepy before he could feel upset.

Busy life also has surprising episodes.

For example, he received a phone invitation from Peking University, and it was also a phone call from Lu Dongyi’s teacher, Academician Tian Yanzhen. The message was that he still had two direct Ph.D. students in the coming year. If Ning Wei was really interested in going to Peking University to study mathematics, If he continues to study in the college, we can help him apply for an exemption from the examination for direct doctoral students.

This was due to Lu Dongyi’s sponsorship.

On the night when he broke up with Ning Wei, Lu Dongyi called Tian Yanzhen and said that if Director Tian missed Ning Wei, he would definitely regret it in the future.

Faced with this invitation, Ning Wei refused.

It's not that Ning Wei has changed his mind and doesn't want to go to Peking University for a direct Ph.D., it's just that he now wants to take the National Full-time Unified Graduate Examination.

After all, compared to writing a paper, Ning Wei felt that his current brain was more suitable for the postgraduate entrance examination. He would not go around the examination room and compete with the teacher who set the questions, which would blind his awakening brain.

To use a popular saying on the Internet, I will take the exam if I can get a postgraduate degree. Hey, it’s not for anything else, just for fun!

This level of thought can be said to be extremely high, after all, it gave way to a position.

On the other hand, he still has the opportunity to study abroad. Whether he wants to use it or not, he still has to wait until he returns home during the winter vacation to discuss it with Lao Ning to show respect for his father.

People, once they feel that their strength supports their self-confidence, even if they still behave modestly, their behavior will start to wander. Ning Wei is obviously not immune to this.

…

Valencia, California, United States, north of Los Angeles.

This is one of the wealthy communities in Los Angeles with extremely convenient transportation. The light rail can directly reach Hollywood, Burbank, and downtown Los Angeles. It is only an hour's drive from the LA International Airport.

Not only that, it also has the best education system in California. Its elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools all rank in the top 10% of California, and a few schools even rank in the top 1%.

Similar to many other affluent areas in the United States, the community planning here is scientific, the scenery is beautiful, life is convenient, and the police force is abundant. Apart from high rents and commodity prices, there are basically no other shortcomings.

The editorial office of Science magazine is also located in this community.

Naturally, George Robert, the editor-in-chief of Science magazine, also lives in this very large wealthy community.

…

Speaking of which, George Robert is still very satisfied with his job.

Since he received his PhD from MIT, he has been working at AAAS and has taken over the position of the former editor-in-chief six years ago.

Although it is not easy to run a journal, especially a journal like Science, after all, they never ask for page fees from authors.

There are countless academic journals that have ceased publication.

But his salary is very high, and the benefits provided by the company are also very good. His pension is paid according to the upper limit stipulated by California, not to mention medical insurance, which is top-notch treatment.

So George works very hard too.

Unlike Handel's editor-in-chief of "Nature", George basically spends all his working time reviewing manuscripts except going to the headquarters for meetings, so he rejects manuscripts very quickly.

Today, Ningwei's article "Turbulence Algorithm: A New Network Security Solution" was finally refreshed in front of him.

Well, the paper submitted by the Chinese people.

George Robert glanced at the table of contents of the paper, and then his attention was attracted by the author's name.

NingWei?

Then he looked at the unit again.

Jiangcheng University.

George smiled, very happy.

Speaking of which, why can he have a satisfactory life now? Is it because of his own efforts? Of course there are factors in this regard.

But more importantly, "Science" can thrive in the face of fierce competition.

The reason for its longevity is the impact factor ranking of Science.

The direct competitor of "Science" is "nature"

Therefore, Mr. Smith, as an American mathematician, has published important research results in "Nature" without considering "Science" or "PNAS". What does this mean?

Yes, George Robert has always wanted to find Smith and ask him this question face to face to hear what the academician of the National Academy of Sciences would answer?

Even if you look down on "PNAS", why the hell do you look down on "Science"?

Of course, George still has the scholarly demeanor.

So I can only keep this anger in my heart.

But when he saw the name NingWei, he was really happy.

Because it was this Chinese young man who directly brought Smith's paper down from the altar.

When he saw Ning Wei's paper published in Nature, he even opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Because Ning Wei’s paper will be kept for two or three months at most. When the academic quarrel is over, Nature will probably publish Smith’s paper directly.

This is a good young man, at least it helped him get out of his bad temper.

So he opened Ning Wei's text very seriously.

This is really not an ordinary letter. It can be seen from the length. It is three pages long and can be classified as a COMMUNICATION letter. It is meaningful, and the article is also well written and logically rigorous.

The concept of the turbulence algorithm itself is also very clever. After all, not everyone can connect the fluid mechanics with the network security algorithm. It can be said that the quality is very good.

George immediately forwarded the letter to an associate editor he trusted most, and marked it as urgent.

But after forwarding it, George thought about it again and felt that this was not enough attention, so he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Rosen, I just forwarded a letter. This letter happens to be in my research field, so I am one of the reviewers. You should immediately find a non-editorial board reviewer, find one closest to you. I’m relatively free, so I hope this letter can be published in the next issue, or the next issue at the latest.”

After hanging up the phone, George was in a very happy mood.

When it was published, he asked someone to send the journal in which Ning Wei's article was published to Mr. Smith. Unexpectedly, the mathematician's face changed when he saw Ning Wei's article published in Science. What an expression.

Come to think of it, it must be exciting!

Well, George admits he can’t wait to see this happen!

By the way, he entered Ning Wei's name into the key keywords.

Next time this cute Chinese kid publishes a paper, he will be able to see it immediately.
