Chapter 445: Cells

"Yang Rui, come in and sit. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Dean Liu walked around the large desk, and his attitude was kind like a husky.

Geng Jian also trembled and read "Yang Rui", and he couldn't understand the scene in front of him no matter what.

He understands the thesis or something, Yang Rui's thesis is very powerful, and he understands, but looking at Dean Liu's appearance, this thesis is so powerful? Geng Jian didn't understand.

"Ahem!" the instructor coughed heavily, and then coughed to Geng Jian.

Geng Jian looked up blankly, but saw the instructor desperately squeezing his eyes.

Geng Jian didn't understand yet, the instructor was so angry that he pointed to the sofa and lip-synched: "Get out of the way!"

Geng Jian suddenly realized, quickly got up, and said, "You sit." ”

Dean Liu nodded to him calmly, and then faced Yang Rui with an exaggerated smile again: "Sit down first, drink a cup of tea, and take a slow, the weather outside is also hot, by the way, do you want to wash your face?"

The instructor heard half of it and immediately began to make tea.

Geng Jian carefully shrank in the corner, sat on a small bench no bigger than his buttocks, and looked at Yang Rui and Dean Liu with doubts.

Yang Rui only nodded when he entered the door, but at this moment, he no longer looked at him, but smiled instead: "Let's look at the package first, I don't know what the evaluation is." ”

"Since it was sent back to the author, it means that "Cell" wants your article, whether it is to ask for major changes or minor changes, or to explain the problem, we just have to do it well. "What Dean Liu said was very pious.

"Hopefully not asking too much. Yang Rui's expression was also very solemn, this is the top journal in biology, with an impact factor of more than 30 all year round, which is 5 more than his previous publications. 0 journals, not 6 times more difficult.

Dean Liu smiled, patted Yang Rui on the shoulder, and said, "You can do this step by yourself, what else is there to worry about, in case there is anything inappropriate, whether it is people, property, or property, the school will help if it can, and it doesn't matter if it is overhauled." ”

The major overhaul is that the reviewer has questioned the structure, but it shows that the core is still valuable, and the minor rehaul is tinkering, which is relatively simple. Illustrating the problem is a relatively complex situation, and it may be clear in a few words, or it may not be clear how to say it.

In general, the overhaul is the most troublesome, because the structure has been changed, and after the change, it may not be satisfactory to the reviewers. If it is a relatively ordinary SCI-level journal, the author may give up in the face of major changes, because there is too much time wasted, and the publication is far away, so it is better to try to send it to other journals.

However, it is so rare to find a paper in Cell, Nature or Science, and even if the reviewer is demanding, the author will do his best to fulfill the request.

Some of the biomedical papers published in S are the results of follow-up research for twenty or thirty years, or even thirty or forty years. It is conceivable that a researcher has been making records carefully since he got started, and has been recording for twenty or thirty years, thirty or forty years, and finally came to a conclusion and wrote a paper.

Because of this, reviewers of top journals will also be cautious when making requests. Under the two-way anonymous peer review system, it is normal for the reviewers to review three or five academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and even former Nobel Prize winners.

These people are not the masters who swallow their anger. If you refuse, you will refuse, as long as the reason is sufficient, but if you make changes several times, it is easy to be exposed by someone who wasted time.

"Thank you, Dean Liu. Yang Rui smiled shyly, took the letter over, and turned it upside down in his hand, also excited.

Although he had published papers before, he had never received letters from top journals, and in fact, his tutor had not received them, and he couldn't say whether anyone in the whole school had received them.

Even if 30 years later, the Chinese scientific community seems to be rotten on the street, it is still rotten in the top schools, and there is not much to do in local schools.

An author who has published a paper in S is still worth tens of millions of dollars in local colleges and universities 30 years later.

In the eyes of Dean Liu, Yang Rui is also as fat as braised pork.

He gently put his hand on Yang Rui's shoulder, and said with a smile: "No matter what conclusions the other party gives or what requirements he makes, if you can do this, you are already the leader of our school, our department's activity funds are not much, but hundreds of thousands of dollars can still be easily taken out, if it is not enough, then apply to the school, you don't have a burden, take it apart." ”

casually promising hundreds of thousands of yuan in research funding is really nothing compared to a paper in a top journal.

Even in the 80s, completing a first-class project was the standard of millions of dollars, and Yang Rui paid $200,000 out of his own pocket for the study of potassium channels.

Quickly replaying the research process of potassium channels and the writing of the paper in his mind, Yang Rui tore open the mail bag with both hands.

Dean Liu's fists were clenched, and he seemed to be more nervous than Yang Rui.

The instructor and Geng Jian were also infected by it, stretching their necks and waiting for the results.

Yang Rui methodically pulled out the contents of the mail bag, and then looked at them page by page.

"How is it?" Dean Liu couldn't wait.

Yang Ruixian smiled and waited for half a minute before saying, "Small change." ”

"Okay!" Dean Liu's voice could be heard in the corridor, followed by a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved." ”

A small change almost means that the paper will be published.

"Well done, Yang Rui. The instructor also brushed his face by the way.

Geng Jian's lips moved twice, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it after all.

"Is it difficult to change the part?" Dean Liu began to pay attention to the specific details again.

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "It's harmless, they asked for it, and we just changed it." ”

"That's good, that's good...... It's better to be serious, in this way, there are still some public research funds in our department, I will take you to the dean, how much can be approved, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of yuan, and you can improve the thesis again...... "Yang Rui's funding is nominally from Huarui Laboratory, although his work unit is the Tang Centralized Laboratory of Peking University, but for a paper of "Cell", only by giving a little more funding can it appear to be a strategic advantage.

If such a paper is not supported, then the allocation of funds is not a thigh to come up with.

For Yang Rui, of course, a little more funding is good, and there is no direct income for this kind of basic research, so he naturally agreed.

Dean Liu was also very happy, and immediately took the keys and other things from the drawer, and said, "Without further ado, let's go see the director now, Commissioner Cai has a good impression of you, and it will definitely be no problem to approve some funds." ”

Professor Cai, the head of the Department of Biology, is a member of the Faculty of Sciences, so it is okay to call Professor Cai, Director Cai, Dean Cai, or Commissioner Cai.

When Yang Rui competed with Richard's laboratory before, he had received the support of Professor Cai, and at this time, he was also very "excited that you read it right", and immediately followed Dean Liu out.

Seeing this, the instructor hurriedly pulled Geng Jian and stood outside the corridor.

Geng Jian was a little overwhelmed, and Dean Liu noticed them again.

Dean Liu didn't want to come back for a while and deal with this matter again, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, you two will first find a way to make some money and send the people at the staircase away, and after that, quickly contact the family and let them come over to deal with this matter." ”

Geng Jian panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I don't have any money, my family is rural, and I can't take out the money." ”

"If you can't come up with the money, you can find a way, it's the money you owe, is it difficult to let the school pay you back? There are so many students in the school, who doesn't have the slightest trouble, let the school deal with it, is this a university or a nursery school? If something like this happens again, and it interferes with the teaching order, I will punish you. Dean Liu pointed to the staircase with a serious expression.

Geng Jian was frightened, and when he saw Dean Liu pulling his legs and leaving, he hurriedly begged the guide: "Can you ask the school to lend me a little money, where can I find money for others at this time?" ”

The instructor shook his head again and again: "What if I gave it to you today, and tomorrow there are students who want to use the money? If your family is sick or your brothers and sisters drop out of school, do you think you are the only one who needs money? If you borrow money from the school, you don't have to think about it, and the school has no money to borrow." ”

"But ......" Geng Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Dean Liu didn't say it...... Is there any funding in the department?"

He heard clearly just now that Dean Liu wanted to take the initiative to give Yang Rui at least tens of thousands of research funds.

Although it is a research fund, when the money is in hand, it is not possible to use it however you want.

In comparison, a few hundred dollars can be called a drop in the bucket.

The instructor laughed angrily, didn't bother to say more, pulled Geng Jian out, and said, "You can do it yourself, if you don't handle it well, your probationary party members won't want it." ”

In fact, the instructor has decided that no matter whether Geng Jian handles today's matter well or not, he will definitely not turn Geng Jian's probationary party members into regular members during his time at school.

For student party members, if they can't become regular party members in the school, the first-mover advantage will be lost.

Of course, losing the qualifications of probationary party members will be even worse, and it will affect the future membership and work of the party. Therefore, knowing that he had already hated the department, Geng Jian still buried his head and rushed back to the dormitory, trying his best to borrow money from his classmates and get through the difficulties first.
