In front of the camera lens, Yang Rui tore open the international mail wrapped in brown paper with a "tearing". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first time I tore this thing, I felt it, and after tearing it three or four times, I didn't feel special.

Zhao Lei thought it was very interesting, beckoned gently, motioned to the photographer to give a close-up, and she also gently read out the English on the parcel: "This is an email from the most famous academic journal in the United States, Cell, the paper written by Yang Rui a while ago, was published in this journal." ”

The photographer gave Zhao Lei a thumbs up and signaled that the shooting was complete.

Dean Liu breathed a sigh of relief and rolled on the ground, ready to get up.

Zhao Lei chuckled and blocked it with her hand and pointed at the camera.

The red light for the representative shooting is still on.

Dean Liu supported his old waist with his hands and looked at Zhao Lei for some reason.

"Wait a minute. Zhao Lei made a lip shape, and then beckoned, asking the photographer to come forward and take pictures of the contents of the mail bag.

Dean Liu had no choice but to prop up the ground with his hands, leaning back as far as possible, and only felt a sore back for a while.

However, for the sake of TV promotion, this kind of thing can't be taken care of.

Yang Rui saw it and took two steps forward before releasing it.

Xu Zhengping no longer cared about the camera or Dean Liu, and tried his best to help Yang Rui take out the contents of the package, and asked at the same time, "You sent the paper again?"

"Cell? ”

"It looks pretty thick, could it be the new issue of the journal that Cell gave you?"

"It's a copy, I'll take a look at ......," Yang Rui recognized the name made up of all capital letters.

Xu Zhengping read it faster than him, raised his voice, and said, "It's the new moon summary of "Cell", and the new moon summary will be sent over so soon?"

"What is the crescent moon summary?" Yang Rui didn't know why, he had never published such a high-end paper before.

Xu Zhengping had never seen a pig run or eaten pork, and said excitedly: "You know, journals like cell are typeset one or two months in advance, and decide which papers to publish in the next issue and the next issue. ”

"I know this, but what does it have to do with the New Moon Summary?"

"It's a big deal, if cell determines the layout of the next two or even three issues, then in the next few months, won't the number of citations of each paper in cell be known?" Xu Zhengping paused for a moment and said: "The new moon summary is to calculate these citations, for the authors of papers who publish articles in cell, they will send a two-year new moon summary by default, of course, you need to have the number of citations in the month." ”

"You mean that my paper may have been cited?" Yang Rui's eyes lit up, but he turned around, turned his back to the camera, and said, "The time is too short, how long will it take to be published." The papers in "Cell" were all written for a year or two. ”

Xu Zhengping said calmly to the camera: "Although many papers take several years to write, before publication, I don't know how many times I have to change them, and every time I revise them, I naturally have to add new citations and references. ”

Yang Rui nodded approvingly, his paper was also repaired once before publication, which is the happiest reviewer's opinion except for direct publication, even so, a minor repair is still noisy, Professor Cai even took this opportunity to give him 600,000 yuan, and the gift was still cash.

Those who need to be overhauled, those who need explanations, and those who redo experiments are probably all there, and in the process of writing a paper, adding one or two citations is nothing.

Conversely, papers with few citations, or with outdated references, tend to be rated lower by reviewers. The worst thing is that they don't look at the literature well, or they read the literature well, after all, they don't see the literature in a corner, and then the authors who do the experiments are bored, sometimes, they have worked hard to make a certain middle conclusion that someone has already done, in other words, they could have cited other people's papers, saving a lot of time and energy, but they are thankless, do it again, and be seen as fools and idiots, such papers, if you are lucky, you are asked to revise and increase references, and if you are unlucky, you will be rejected directly.

Dean Liu listened to the answer between the two, but he was much more excited than Yang Rui, he couldn't take care of his old waist, and he didn't care about the camera next to him, so he stomped his feet and said: "What else are you discussing, see what is written inside." ”

"Oh. Yang Rui flipped through the purely printed crescent moon summary, sorted them alphabetically, and quickly found his paper.

On the right side of the paper, there are two numbers, "3" and "11".

"3 is the citation of the current period is 3, 11 is the citation of the next three issues is 11, and there are a few blanks behind, which should be the total number of citations of several databases, such as the Science Citation Index (SCI) in the United States, the Engineering Index (EI) and the like, which should not be counted yet. Xu Zhengping was half explaining and half chattering, and his tone was quite strange.

Looking at Dean Liu again, he was already panting with his mouth open regardless of his image.

He was completely unaware of the change in his appearance.

Zhao Lei said softly: "Excuse me, the number of citations is 3 and 1, is it more or less?"

"A paper, less than a month after it was published, has 3 citations in the current issue and 11 citations in the next three issues, do you say more or less?" Xu Zhengping asked rhetorically.

Zhao Lei has an excellent image and temperament, when interviewing male subjects, she doesn't even need to sacrifice her identity as a TV reporter, she can be invincible, but she was asked rudely by Xu Zhengping at this time, but she was a little stunned.

Fortunately, she has experience in dealing with unexpected situations, adjusted her mood in an instant, smiled again, pointed at the camera, and said, "Can you introduce us to the audience?"

She doesn't say whether she understands or not, and she saves from arguing again.

Xu Zhengping glanced at the camera, pondered for a moment, and said: "Citation refers to the knowledge involved in a paper, which is original by a certain reference, and the author lists the literature he refers to in the reference after the paper, 1 citation, that is, there is a paper that uses the knowledge in Yang Rui's paper, or in other words, a citation proves that Yang Rui helped a scholar solve a problem." ”

"So, three citations, it means that Yang Rui helped three scholars solve the problem?" Zhao Lei began to pose for an interview.

"Of course there were more than 3 people. Xu Zhengping said: "These three citations refer specifically to the citation of cell, and specifically to the quotation of the next issue. In other words, three authors who are about to publish a paper in "Cell" have used Yang Rui's paper, and it is in just one month. In the next three issues, the number of citations will expand to 11 or more, hey...... All in all, this is a rare occurrence and proves that Yang Rui's thesis has extraordinary potential......"

It shows that in the next time, Yang Rui's total citations will be greatly increased. Dean Liu straightened his chest and sucked his abdomen, feeling like a housekeeper of a big family.

"Can you give us a visual comparison? What is the number of citations for the average college student?"

"Ordinary college students?" Xu Zhengping laughed, and Dean Liu next to him couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Lei is actually knowledgeable, she studied at Columbia University, although she wrote a graduation thesis, she always published it, and she also knew something about all aspects.

Yang Rui's performance has long been out of the scope of ordinary college students, in fact, there are few graduate students in China who can publish papers in SCI-level journals, and CELL is more like a fantasy, if not, why bother with a camera to report.

Zhao Lei was also in a hurry for a while, and said something stupid, but was blushed by Xu Zhengping and Dean Liu.

She took a deep breath to calm down, and then continued: "As far as I know, the number of citations in ordinary papers is often only in the single digits, is that true?"

TV viewers don't know how many quotes are and what level, so they have to have a comparative reference.

"It's good to have three or four citations in an ordinary paper, and I'm talking about ordinary researchers, not ordinary students, and it's normal for student papers to have no citations. Xu Zhengping stood in front of Yang Rui and helped him block the danger and limelight.

If it were other young people, they might be unhappy at this time, but Yang Rui didn't want to be in the limelight, and stood silently behind, not anxious at all.

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "In this way, Yang Rui's 3 citations ......"

"It's 3 cell references. ”

"Yes, 3 cell citations, is that more than the level of ordinary researchers?"

"I can't compare it to the average researcher's paper with three or four citations, and I'm talking about the citations that their papers accumulate over years, decades, or even decades. According to this standard, Yang Rui's current number of citations should be 11, and it is growing rapidly, think about it, if you have such data in a month, what will it be like in a few years, more than ten years?" Xu Zhengping said, thinking the same way.

Zhao Lei asked a few more questions, interviewed Yang Rui again, and saw that he didn't have the heart to speak, so she stopped filming.

Nowadays, the camera tape is not cheap, and it can be saved a little.

Yang Rui himself was actually in shock.

Zhao Lei asked from the perspective of an ordinary person, and naturally asked a virtual and simple question, but Yang Rui himself knew what it meant to have so many citations in a month.

This is the rhythm of fire!

The impact factor of cell is above 30 all year round, which means that the average number of citations of the papers published here in the past two years is more than 30.

Although he was sure that his paper was above average, in the first month, the number of citations of cell alone reached 11, which completely surprised Yang Rui.

You must know that the peak of citations after the publication of a paper is often 3 months or even half a year later, and it can be said that most of the papers that cite it have not been written.

This is also the benefit of Yang Rui's paper on potassium channels two years in advance. Two years ahead of schedule means that you have to solve more problems, and some citations of similar projects that were originally in progress will therefore fall to Yang Rui's paper, and those project teams may face dissolution or major changes as a result.

"It's magnificent. Xu Zhengping stood behind, holding the pure English "New Moon Summary", as if sighing and commenting.
