Shen Chongfeng's efficiency is not unfast, the day before yesterday it took an afternoon to discuss the general idea of the paper and the reference journals that will appear in the paper, and early the next morning, he directly called Wang Ning to bring back the journal he transferred overnight.

Wang Ning was a little stunned when he received this call, you must know that there are many journals to refer to for a large-scale paper and research topic, especially before the actual one, you need to know whether the topic has been studied and whether it has been applied for, otherwise, no matter what results they have researched, they will not be able to publish them. The judges won't buy a similar topic.

Therefore, before researching, almost all researchers have to look through a large number of traditional journals to find out if there are any similar studies. Even with the help of the Internet, scientists are no longer as troublesome as before, but there is no less work to be done.

Determining the uniqueness of your research doesn't mean that these journals are useless. On the contrary, the importance of these global journals will be further enhanced. Not to mention anything else, the most important point is to use the papers and materials in these journals to prove the correctness of your research, and to prove that this topic is not decided at random by one's own head, but has traces to follow.

This is the so-called role of references, and it is very useful. In this case, most journals with similar views need to be used, so the number of all journals is not a small number when combined.

So, after Wang Ning came to the villa where Shen Chongfeng was, he was shocked by the four cardboard boxes more than one meter high in front of him!

"Teacher, what are these?"

Turning his head to look at Shen Chongfeng, who was tapping the number of cardboard boxes on the side, Wang Ning couldn't help asking.

Shen Chongfeng attaches great importance to these cartons, or the materials in them. So after the cardboard boxes arrived at the villa, he personally opened the boxes one by one to check, and after making sure that the materials in the boxes were what he wanted, he nodded with satisfaction and sealed the boxes again.

Four boxes don't seem like much, but there are not a few journals in the boxes, and even if there is a scanner to determine the number of the journal, he is still tired enough to choke after a few boxes. Hearing Wang Ning's voice, he raised his head and hammered his waist a few times, and then said, "You said these boxes?" It is full of references that we determined yesterday, and some of them are literature that I think are useful, you can take a look at it when you go back, there are many ideas and contents in it, which may be helpful for our paper! ”

Hearing Shen Chongfeng say this, Wang Ning's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

Shen Chongfeng didn't need to do this, he was just the second author. Even if the paper landed on the ground, it caused a huge sensation. He can get a certain honor for a while, but this honor is not comparable to questioning.

In Wang Ning's heart, the reason why he gave Shen Chongfeng the identity of the second author was to use his fame to make most people pay attention to Shen Chongfeng, so that he would have less pressure.

Shen Chongfeng also knew about this, but he didn't refuse, and readily agreed. Not only that, but in order to make the paper more complete, Shen Chongfeng used his own strength to collect most of the journals and reference materials overnight.

Don't think that this information is readily available, it is not at all. Some journals with normal circulation are indeed more readily available, but a larger number of journals are not published at all, and are only circulated among scholars. The most mysterious journals are the same as Chinese domestic references, and they cannot be accessed at all until a certain level.

From the list given by Shen Chongfeng, Wang Ning clearly saw several journals of this level. Taking out these journals, Wang Ning didn't believe that Shen Chongfeng would not pay a certain price.

"Teacher, the general structure of the paper has come out, and the references are not as significant as they used to be. Let's just choose a few to fill in the paper, why bother to collect all the information! Wang Ning said softly.

Shen Chongfeng didn't agree with Wang Ning's statement, sealed the last box, turned around and said to Wang Ning: "Xiao Ning, what you think is too simple, academia is the same as other industries, and most people value the background. For scholars, this background is from the perspective of the college from which they graduated, the teachers who taught, and whether there is corporate support. The same is true for papers, for many reviewers, the first thing they look at is the content of the references and the brief introduction of the person who sent them, and if it is good, they will look at the content of the paper. ”

After a pause, after Wang Ning absorbed this information, Shen Chongfeng continued: "This is the case with other papers, and the same is true for our paper this time, and even more than ordinary papers, the proof of references is even needed, because the conjecture you put forward this time is subversive, and it is difficult for many reviewers to accept it at first glance." Even if the second author is me, they may think that we are crazy to come up with such unrealistic conjectures. At this time, the role of references is reflected, and the more detailed the reference, the more it can prove that your paper is not cranky, but has a factual basis. At that time, even if the reviewer does not agree, he will not dare to send the paper back at will! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Ningna still doesn't understand.

To put it simply, Shen Chongfeng felt that his weight alone was a little insufficient for the paper to be published, so he did everything possible to find more similar materials, which were all opinions put forward by famous scientists. Those views naturally cannot be Wang Ning's conjecture, but they are a bit the same in thinking.

The views of these scientists may be inconspicuous, but once integrated, they will be taken seriously by reviewers. He will no longer feel that after Wang Ning's conjecture challenged his knowledge, he will directly enter the paper into heresy, but will calm down to study and explore. In this way, there is hope that the paper will be published.

From this point of view, Wang Ning is indeed not as comprehensive as Shen Chongfeng's consideration. In his eyes, writing a paper is actually very simple, not to mention that he can view Vigelie's paper at any time in his superbrain, and it is not possible to use it if he plagiarizes Vigelie's paper.

Now it seems that if a paper wants to be published in a top mathematics journal, even if there is a deposit of the Vigliel paper, it is still not easy. At least Wang Ning didn't take into account the importance of references!

"The students are taught!" Thinking of this, Wang Ning bowed to Shen Chongfeng and said seriously.

Naturally, I didn't know what Wang Ning was thinking, but the attitude of his student still made Shen Chongfeng's own efforts not in vain, and when he helped Wang Ning up, he said with a smile: "It's best if you can understand, I'm really worried that you are too proud and don't want to use these materials." Now it seems that my worries have been in vain! Well, you can bring these materials back today, and then study them well and try to make the paper more complete! ”

"No problem!" Wang Ning nodded, but turned his head to look at the several large boxes in front of him, and couldn't help but hesitate a little: "There are so many boxes, I can't seem to bring them back alone!" ”

"It's okay, I just asked Xiao Sun to notify the school and ask them to help send you back!" For Shen Chongfeng, the things that were sent back were all trivial. What is really important is that Wang Ning can face up to these materials, in addition to wanting to make the paper more complete, why didn't he let Wang Ning personally contact the world's top scientists today, understand their thoughts and ideas, and finally form his own unique cognition, so as to improve the mirror system.

However, Shen Chongfeng will not sue Wang Ning for the time being, because he doesn't want to stimulate his students. As a top mathematician, he had seen too many geniuses, and he knew all too well the temper of those geniuses.

No matter how gentle they usually are, it is difficult to hide the pride in their hearts. Such pride sometimes makes them arrogant, and they don't care about anyone but themselves.

As a result, they naturally dismiss the research results of those top scholars. Not to mention digging deep to get enough insights. Shen Chongfeng was very worried that after he told Wang Ning of his idea, he would stimulate his students to speed up the pace of studying the mirror system, so as to get a wrong result, which would not be worth the loss.

I have to say that Shen Chongfeng really had nothing to say to Wang Ning, a student, and all aspects helped Wang Ning consider it. It's a pity that he thinks highly of his students, Wang Ning knows very well what the fundamental reason why he can come up with the mirror system, so he naturally won't speed up his research indiscriminately. And even if it is to speed up the research, it is useless, according to the amount of knowledge he has before, he can't study anything without the help of the superbrain.
