A conversation with Wu Xiping completely dispelled Chen Zhou's idea of submitting to a domestic journal.

For him, the time is not yet ripe, and it is better not to be ambitious.

However, when it comes to foreign journals, should we choose the Annals of Mathematics or Acta Mathematica Sinica?

Or the Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States, or the New Advances in Mathematics?

Chen Zhou, who came out of Wu Xiping's office, fell into the difficulty of choosing again.

However, Chen Zhou still thought of a way to compare.

After returning to the dormitory, he turned on the computer suddenly.

Immediately after that, I opened the browser and searched the official websites of the four kings of mathematics journals one by one.

Then I found the submission channel and compared the page fee that needs to be charged for the submission of the paper.

This is what Chen Zhou wants to complain about the most, you are such an awesome journal, you can pass the manuscript, and the people who finally publish it are all bigwig-level mathematicians, why do you still charge page fees?

So much more......

After recording all the page fees of the four major journals, Chen Zhou opened his mailbox again and logged in.

I carefully read the emails sent by the four major journals and carefully compared them.

In the end, he found that the sincerity of the Annals of Mathematics and Acta Mathematica Sinica was a little more sufficient.

Because, the "Annals of Mathematics" and "Acta Mathematica Sinica" exempted him from high page fees!

No matter what time it is, it's still more practical to talk about money.

Especially when the rest of everyone's conditions are about the same, or not much the same.

It's more sincere to talk about money.

Then, Chen Zhou compared the page fees of the Annals of Mathematics and Acta Mathematica Sinica.

In comparison, the Annals of Mathematics is more expensive.

Then you don't have to choose......

Chen Zhou began to reply to emails to the four major journals one by one.

As for the "Acta Mathematica Sinica", Chen Zhou regretted that because the "Annals of Mathematics" had already looked for him in advance, and even the review editor revealed it to him.

So, if you have the chance, we will cooperate next time.

Regarding the "Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States" and "New Progress in Mathematics", Chen Zhou didn't say so much, but politely declined.

Although the Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States also found MAA President Francis as a lobbyist.

But this Chinese mathematician did not mention the half-dime "Journal of the Mathematical Society of the United States......

Therefore, Chen Zhou did not feel that he had lived up to Francis's "enthusiasm".

Finally, I replied to the Annals of Mathematics.

Chen Zhou gave full play to his long-awaited talent in linguistics, and further got closer to the Annals of Mathematics.

Chen Zhou naturally has his intentions when he does this.

After receiving an e-mail regret from Hafid, the editor of Acta Mathematica Sinica, and a confirmed reply from the Annals of Mathematics.

Chen Zhou's paper on proving the Jebov conjecture and the method of distribution deconstruction was officially submitted to the Annals of Mathematics.

The Annals of Mathematics confirmed the manuscript as soon as it received the submission.

Then the academic editor who received Chen Zhou's paper began to contact Professor Deligne, Professor Faltins, and Professor Langlands according to the previous communication.

Chen Zhou also found that the status of his paper submission became so fast for the first time.

In just 10 minutes before and after submission, Chen Zhou's submission status changed from "Submit" to "With Editor" and then to "Reviewer(s) Invited".

This means that his paper has entered the peer review stage.

In other words, the finished version of the paper has now reached the hands of Professor Deligne and others.

The expression on Chen Zhou's face couldn't help but be a little strange.

He couldn't help but think, is this the benefit of having a relationship?

Or is it the prerogative of good mathematicians?

Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli, who had been paying attention to Chen Zhou since Chen Zhou entered the house, couldn't help but come over and take a look.

When they saw the status of the paper, the two couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, when did you submit the manuscript?

Chen Zhou glanced at the two of them and said softly, "Just ten minutes before you asked this sentence. ”

"Oh, ten minutes ago. Zhao Qiqi subconsciously muttered, but then he reacted and exclaimed, "What? Ten minutes ago? Are you sure it's ten minutes, not ten hours?"

Zhu Mingli also looked at Chen Zhou with a shocked expression.

What's going on?

Ten minutes after submission, it will enter peer review?

Is there such a fast?

Is it because I know less, or because I'm a small level, I've never heard of it?

Chen Zhou knew that these two guys would have such expressions, and he said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen this situation, maybe it's because I communicated with the editor of the Annals of Mathematics in advance, right? After all, they asked me to invite papers, and they revealed the reviewers to me in advance......

"Damn, awesome!" Zhao Qiqi exclaimed.

"Brother Chen, you're too awesome, aren't you! Although we have also seen the news that the four major journals have invited you to submit papers, I didn't expect that the "Annals of Mathematics" will reveal the information of the reviewers to you......" Zhu Mingli also learned these inside stories for the first time.

Chen Zhou nodded: "So, I weigh it carefully and think about it carefully!"

Hearing Chen Zhou's explanation, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli glanced at each other helplessly.

They are very envious of Chen Zhou's bigwig-level treatment, which is a general invitation to the household......

But envy is envy, and they also know that this is what Chen Zhou deserves.

Chen Zhou didn't know what Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli thought, he glanced at the two of them, and continued: "Not only that, but the Annals of Mathematics also waived their high page fees for me. ”

Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli were surprised again: "Layout fee?"

They had also heard that the four major journals had high page fees.

Chen Zhou looked at the two of them and said with emotion: "Originally, the Annals of Mathematics and Acta Mathematica Sinica gave me free page fees, but I found that the page fees of the Annals of Mathematics were more expensive, so I chose the Annals of Mathematics." You don't know, this page fee, but it saved me a lot of money......"

Zhao Qiqi: "Damn, you still lack this money???

Zhu Mingli: "It's really a beep dog......"

Chen Zhou was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, it would be better if Li Li was also in the dormitory.

Thinking of Li Li, Chen Zhou said again: "Tell me about the two of you, you stay in the dormitory every day, how do you chase your sister?" also learn from me and Li Li, you can go to the library if you have nothing to do, there are still a lot of girls there......"

As Chen Zhou said, every time he goes back to the dormitory, he can see Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli in the dormitory.

At first, there was Li Li, but later, Li Li abandoned the two brothers.

But these two brothers have never been able to get Yang Yiyi's dormitory, the dormitory next door, and the dormitory next door......

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Zhao Qiqi said: "It's not that we don't want to go, go to the library, aren't we waiting for you to feed the dog food?"

Zhu Mingli also said: "Brother Chen, haven't you noticed that on the campus Internet, those library classmates denounce your posts about often sprinkling dog food?"

Chen Zhou was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

He hadn't really paid attention to it.

Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli nodded seriously.

To be honest, for both of them, going to the library is better than staying in the dorm honestly.

The accusation in that post is not ordinary miserable......

Chen Zhou looked at the two of them, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, the dog food is eaten, and I get used to it......"

Zhao Qiqi: "......"

Zhu Mingli: "......"
