Identifying a new species is not an easy task, first of all, you have to check whether there are any repeated discoveries by predecessors, and this alone can exhaust people in the era of computers or not. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you open the book of plant taxonomy, there are a large number of "different names" behind a large number of animals and plants, with three or five different names, or more different names of animals and plants, and the meaning of "different names" can basically be said to be "dwarf oil, admit the mistake" meaning.

No matter how serious taxonomists are, given the diversity of species on Earth, the emergence of synonyms is still inevitable, and Professor Xie has had to put in more effort in order not to become a member of the synonymous group.

However, with the use of electron microscopy in the ion channel laboratory and the research dog in the ion channel laboratory to drive, Professor Xie is willing to help.

It's not easy just to be able to use the new electron microscope.

Unlike Yang Rui, who buys millions of equipment at every turn, although Professor Xie is also a professor at Peking University, his annual funding is less than 100,000 yuan.

In fact, this is the normal mode of fund allocation, and it is already a lot to do plant taxonomy with tens of thousands of yuan a year.

Naturally, Professor Xie did not buy equipment, but if he wanted to use the equipment, he went to the public laboratory, and a large part of the funds was also handed over to the public laboratory to buy equipment for everyone.

This is naturally not very pleasant, but there is no way to do it.

Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory, when it was first established the year before last, was still in the mode of building one instrument at a time, and no one expected that he would save so quickly, one in one or two months, so that his laboratory has become the top biology laboratory in China.

There are many better than his laboratory, but it is impossible to say that it is completely surpassed, no matter what, the instruments in Yang Rui's laboratory are all newly purchased.

As a researcher, the ownership of an instrument is a good concept, but it's also a pleasure to be able to use it once in a while. It's like a child going to Disneyland to play, of course he wants Disneyland to be his home, but if he doesn't work hard when he is reincarnated, it is useless to urge his father the day after tomorrow, but even if he lines up to play with amusement equipment, he is still very happy.

In addition, Professor Xie also learned the basic use of PCR from Yang Rui - it is naturally not common for the inventor of PCR to teach the use of PCR in person.

Therefore, when the paper on the discovery of the new species of "Zhang Fei's blue thorn" came out, Professor Xie, who was in charge of writing, neatly gave the first author to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui didn't hesitate to laugh. Although the people are very interested in the discovery of new species, from an academic point of view, a paper on a new species is very ordinary, if a new group is identified is a bit powerful, just a new species of the genus Blue Thorn, it can only be published in Chinese journals for enjoyment, Professor Xie exchanged identification work for Yang Rui's PCR teaching, which is also a fair trade.

On the other hand, with Yang Rui's reputation in the biological community, he published a Chinese paper on a new species, which was a green light.

In the past, it usually takes two or three months, or even four or five months, to review, but it only costs nine dollars and eight ...... No, it only takes eight or nine days for the trial to be concluded.

Needless to say, the editors of the Journal of Plant Taxonomy must have failed to comply with the standard of two-way anonymity, and revealed Yang Rui's identity to the reviewers.

In China, or rather, on a global scale, this is inevitable, especially the publication of papers by big names, which is a story of joy and sorrow.

If the standard of two-way anonymity is strictly adhered to, who knows if the scholar in charge of reviewing the manuscript will reject the manuscript in a flash of brains?

Scholars like Yang Rui are already at the top level in the Chinese biology community. S has been published once, and he is a member of the GMP committee, and he has a good record, his reputation is almost broken, and he has the management rights of two laboratories under his name, so it can be said that his movements may change the direction of Chinese biology.

What would be the result of such a scholar being rejected by a Chinese journal?

If the reasons for rejection of Chinese journals are sufficient, then it is needless to say, the journal and the rejection person can make a big reputation, but in terms of the quality of the Chinese journal, it is unlikely that they want to find a biologist who can be equal to Yang Rui to review the manuscript, so what qualifications do they have to reject the manuscript?

It's like Darbeko submitting a manuscript to a regular journal in the United States, only to be rejected by an unknown professor at the University of Colorado.

There will definitely be a sensation in the academic community, but it is definitely not what the journal wants.

From the perspective of the journal company, the more papers of the top scholars with high prestige, the better, and the papers of the top scholars with high reputation are not impossible to reject, but if they do, they hope that the reviewers should know what they are doing.

If you encounter the kind of reviewer who happens to be too busy or too lazy, and ends up handing over the review to the students under his hands to do the cheating thing - which is a common fact - then the rejection incident is interesting, which is equivalent to saying that the top scholar's paper is rejected by the dog, even if Christmas is not good, the dog has no reason to be so happy.

It is also because of the concerns of journals, reviewers and even paper publishers that the standard of two-way anonymity has always been the preserve of ordinary scholars in the academic world.

Yang Rui may not have privileges in the world's top journals, but occasionally stepping into the botanical world, it is natural to get privileges.

Within a few days, social media actually reported on "Zhang Feilan's thorn".

So, recently, the media that have been wanting to interview Yang Rui and ask him about the Nobel Prize suddenly found that good guy, no wonder Yang Rui couldn't be found, this guy ran away into the wild.

If you want to say that you run into the wilderness, you will run into the wilderness, and avoid the media, ordinary people see less, and media reporters see less?

However, if a normal person runs away, he will not find a new species.

Moreover, the new species was named "Zhang Fei"?

Do you want to hide from the media incognito, or do you want to seduce the media to do interviews?

The journalists were lost in deep thought.
