Chapter 159: Winner of the Pope's Prize
Liu Hai began to revise the draft in mid-December, revised it back and forth three times, and finally finalized it in late December.
In the final version, [The Birth and Development Direction of Applied Science] was reduced from 110,000 words at the beginning to 70,000 words, which was reduced by more than 40,000 words.
The first draft is only 60,000 words, which has been written very concisely, so the number of words reduced in the final version is not much, and the final version is nearly 50,000 words.
In Su Bei's view, although the final draft of the two papers still adds up to 120,000 words, it has reached the extreme of subtracting one word too little, and he will not abbreviate it no matter whether his submission can be published in full or not.
Moreover, he is also preparing to mail two versions when he submits the manuscript, one is the final version with a total number of more than 120,000 words, and the other is a supplementary explanatory version with a total of more than 160,000 words.
The paper is finalized, and the next step is to choose the academic journal to submit.
Holding the list of all second-grade academic journals, Liu Hai pondered for a long time, and finally chose the "Five Elements Minutes" academic journal.
"Five Elements Minutes" is a second-grade empire-level famous academic journal, which was founded and published by the editor-in-chief of the first-grade god-level academic journal "Five Elements Academic", and is a comprehensive academic journal. At the beginning, the journal was founded because the editorial department regretted that those academic papers that were not enough to be on the "Five Elements Academic" but were very good, and wanted to create a supplement to supplement the "Five Elements Academic".
After a long time, the "Five Elements Minutes" has now been promoted from a supplement to a second-grade imperial famous academic journal, and it is the object of all scholars vying to contribute.
Liu Hai's two papers, it is not good to invest in the journal of pure science, and it is not good to invest in the journal of pure pill pharmacy, only the head comprehensive journal is the best. In the comprehensive academic journal, the most high-end and authoritative are of course "Five Elements Academic" and "Hundred Scholars", but Liu Hai is self-aware, and his two papers add up to more than 100,000 words...... On the whole, if you vote for two god-level academic journals, the probability of passing is very low.
Therefore, Liu Hai thought about it and chose the "Five Elements Minutes", which was the most important academic innovation in the second-grade academic journal, which was just right for his two papers.
Another point is that the "Five Elements Minutes" is separated from the "Five Elements Academic", and this academic journal, like the "Five Elements Academic", is in Gulanzhou, the Nine Great Divine Prefectures.
Liu Hai has published two papers in Gulanzhou, one in the fourth-grade discipline and one in the third-grade discipline, both of which are not bad, and can be regarded as having qualifications in the Gulanzhou academic community, which will make it easier for the editor of the "Five Elements Minutes" to accept a submission from a scholar from a remote Xiazhou.
Therefore, when Liu Hai mailed the manuscript, he deliberately attached his published paper resume.
After the manuscript was sent, the bangs finally relaxed completely.
Before these two papers are published, he does not plan to work on the next academic project, the past three months have exhausted him, and he needs to rest for a while.
Of course, not doing academic research, simply studying and cultivating, for Liu Hai, it is already a rest.
Every morning and evening class, I inherit 21 books in the pearl every day, and read some other miscellaneous books every day...... In addition, he also paid attention to Gu Ning's progress in finding laboratory land.
In the eyes of others, it is not a rest, and when Liu Hai himself felt very leisurely, his two papers were also successfully mailed to the editorial office of Gulanzhou's "Five Elements Minutes".
Liu Hai's paper caused a sensation in a small area of the editorial department, at first because Liu Hai's manuscript was too thick, which attracted the attention and ridicule of several first-draft review editors, and then these first-draft review editors with good academic literacy looked at this submission from a remote state at the same time.
To be the first draft review editor of a second-grade academic journal like "Five Elements Minutes", these people's eyesight is naturally not bad, Liu Hai's two papers were immediately handed to the second-instance office, and then the editors of the second-instance office began to have a headache and could not find a suitable reviewer.
These two papers involve both science and medicine, and more importantly, these two papers combine the two disciplines to develop a new discipline!
The following people discussed and discussed, but they still couldn't find anyone suitable to review these two papers, and finally the papers were submitted to the editor-in-chief, Mr. Zhao.
After Bachelor Zhao took the time to read it carefully, he took the paper out of the editorial office, and drove to a house in the family area of the Bauhinia Taixue teacher.
"You go, I don't have time to greet you, there's a lot of work waiting for me to finish. The old man said and wanted to close the door directly.
Bachelor Zhao hurriedly blocked the door, licked his face and smiled: "Professor Yan, look at what you said, you are a lifelong reviewer of our "Five Elements Minutes" academic journal, and it is also your job to review our manuscripts. ”
Bachelor Zhao is also a celebrity in Gulanzhou, as the editor-in-chief of the second-grade academic journal, he is a sought-after existence everywhere he goes, but in front of this old man, he can only be a cheeky junior.
There is no way, after all, the old man in front of him is the famous Professor Yan Xing, as a lifelong reviewer of the "Five Elements Minutes" academic journal, and also a lifelong professor of the top five Bauhinia Taixue in the empire's comprehensive strength, and also the creator of the four-turn elixir "Star Yan Dan", the winner of various world-class pill pharmaceutical awards, and most importantly, he is the winner of the 29976th Pope Award Pill Pharmaceutical Award!
As the editor-in-chief of the "Five Elements Minutes", Bachelor Zhao's social status is indeed very high, but before this old man met, he still didn't have enough to see.
Even if I am afraid that scholars from more than 300 states in the empire will gather together, at the very top of the pyramid, there will be a place for this old man.
If it was a general paper review, of course, Mr. Zhao would not easily disturb Professor Yan Xing, but this time, with his decades of editing experience, it is very likely that he will really create a new discipline, so he can't ignore it.
As the editor-in-chief of the comprehensive academic journal "Five Elements Minutes", Mr. Zhao naturally pays attention to the dynamics of various academic circles, although the academic world of science is not the mainstream academic world, but it has always been concerned, and he is naturally aware of the germination of applied science.
Originally, I thought that it would not be long before the germination began, and it would take a long time for applied science to make a constructive breakthrough in "spiritual-level" academic research and give birth to a real new discipline, but I didn't expect that a scholar from Xiazhou seemed to accelerate this process......
