Chapter 650: Reviewer's Invitation
Chapter 650
Surprised, shocked, confused, all kinds of different looks appeared on the face of Macron's editor-in-chief.
Macron really didn't expect that this paper by Gu Lu's students turned out to be proof of the conjecture about the complex ring.
Because it sounds a little too incredible.
The re-ring conjecture, that is the re-ring conjecture.
If it is said that the conjecture of Fuhuan is proved by Gu Lu, the editor-in-chief of Macron will not only not be surprised, but will also take it for granted.
But......
The crux of the matter is.
It is true that the complex conjecture was put forward by Gu Lu, but it was not Gu Lu himself who proved it, but several of his students.
Several students who are still in graduate school.
The editor-in-chief of Macron has already seen it.
In this paper, Gu Lu only hung the name of the corresponding author.
As for the column of the first author.
It was written the names of Gu Lu's four students, and Gu Lu was not among them.
Obviously, in the process of writing this paper, Gu Lu only played the role of an instructor.
And it was the four students of Gu Lu who really proved the success of the complex conjecture.
That sounds ridiculous.
What magnitude does the complex conjecture exist in the mathematical world, and Macron's editor-in-chief is not unclear.
It is precisely because Macron's editor-in-chief knows no longer that the reaction is like this.
Originally.
The editor-in-chief of Macron did not expect much from this paper by Gu Lu's students.
But......
The facts in front of him caught Macron's editor-in-chief off guard.
To be honest, the current editor-in-chief of Macron no longer knows whether to cry or laugh.
The laughing thing is that "New Advances in Mathematics" has gained such a high-quality paper again.
The cry is that Gu Lu's students are already so strong now, and in a few years, it is estimated that Huaguo's status in the international mathematical community will threaten them Germany.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much. The editor-in-chief of Macron shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although his worries just now were not unfounded.
However, this is obviously not something that should be considered by his existence at this level.
What Macron's editor-in-chief needs to do is to seriously manage the "New Progress in Mathematics", his own one-third of an acre.
And to practice this, it seems that it is necessary to cooperate with Gu Lu.
Before, Gu Lu was quite prolific alone.
And now it's even worse.
Because in addition to Gu Lu himself, there are also his students.
Once you have a good relationship with Gu Lu, of course, Gu Lu's students' papers will be submitted to them as a matter of course.
There are four students in Gu Lu.
Plus Gu Lu himself......
Do the math.
That's five times as much fun!
Macron's editor-in-chief was uncontrollable in his heart, and his body trembled faintly due to excitement.
Opening the mailbox, the editor-in-chief of Macron quickly replied to Gu Lu's email.
"Professor Gu, please rest assured, I will immediately arrange for a reviewer to review your student's paper, and if it is fast, it is estimated that this paper will be published in this issue of "New Advances in Mathematics" at the end of this month. "Macron's sincerity is very strong.
To be clear, there is still about a week left before the next issue of New Advances in Mathematics will be published.
Generally speaking, the process of a paper from submission to revision to queuing for publication takes an average of more than half a year to a year.
However, this time, the editor-in-chief of Macron directly used the power in his hands to shorten this cycle to one week.
This speed is not unfast.
And Gu Lu's side was obviously surprised by the efficiency of the editor-in-chief Macron, "Editor-in-chief Macron, will this be too troublesome." ”
Gu Lu knows that although the editor-in-chief of Macron, as the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", has a lot of power, it still takes a lot of effort to cut a paper in line to this extent.
Macron's editor-in-chief, "No trouble, no trouble, since it is something arranged by Professor Gu, I will definitely do my best to do it well." I just hope that Professor Gu and your students can consider us next time they choose to submit their papers. ”
Macron's editor-in-chief showed such sincerity that Gu Lu didn't reach out to slap the smiling man, "No problem, after I successfully construct the geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory, I will give priority to submitting that paper to your magazine." ”
Macron's editor-in-chief was overjoyed when he saw Gu Lu's reply.
Although the editor-in-chief of Macron does not have much expectation for Gu Lu to successfully construct a unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology, it is always a good thing for "New Advances in Mathematics" to get such a promise from Gu Lu.
At this time, Macron's editor-in-chief obviously did not realize it.
"New Advances in Mathematics" will gain much benefit in the future because of Gu Lu's promise.
Macron's editor-in-chief: "Professor Gu, I want to ask you something?"
Gu Lu: "What's the matter, just say it to the editor-in-chief Macron." ”
Macron's editor-in-chief: "Is Professor Gu willing to serve as a reviewer for our New Advances in Mathematics?"
Serve as a reviewer!
Gu Lu subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
A reviewer of an academic journal, which is a representation of identity and status.
In particular, the reviewer of New Advances in Mathematics, one of the four major journals in mathematics, will have a higher status.
Because it represents a recognition of your strength by this journal.
That's why.
The salaries of reviewers are not very high, but there are still many mathematicians who sign up for the role.
It's not the salary they value, it's the recognition it represents.
Right now.
The editor-in-chief of Macron took the initiative to ask Gu Lu to serve as a reviewer for New Advances in Mathematics.
And as far as Gu Lu knows.
Up to now, there is no precedent for a Chinese mathematician to serve as a reviewer in the four major journals of mathematics.
If Gu Lu should be ordered, it will be the first.
In addition, "New Advances in Mathematics" will also increase the proportion of papers published by Chinese mathematicians due to the existence of Gu Lu, a reviewer, and open a convenient door for the majority of Chinese mathematicians.
However, Gu Lu did not rush to agree.
Instead, after thinking for a few seconds, he typed back, "This matter, Macron editor-in-chief, you can make a decision?"
Macron's editor-in-chief quickly replied, "I have already consulted the upper echelons on my side and said that I can agree." ”
Macron's editor-in-chief knows why Gu Lu asks this.
At the beginning of the millennium, when the Chinese mathematics community showed signs of rising, the four major journals in the mathematics community did not allow Chinese mathematicians to serve as reviewers for the journals.
This is a conventional rule, and what is avoided is to threaten their position for the rapid rise of China.
Now, this conventional rule is about to be broken by New Advances in Mathematics.
Does Macron's editor-in-chief really have that courage?
