Chapter 37: I Agree

In the conference room of Jinling University, an impromptu meeting was held, which was presided over by President Xu Jian, and the leaders of the Software Institute were required to be present.

Many professors were in the lab, but they were called to a meeting by a phone call.

The core of the conference was very simple, and the discussion was about one thing, that is, an article that made a lot of noise around the neck - "On the Academic Atmosphere of Contemporary Campus in China - Starting from an Undergraduate Student's Thesis".

The article mentions that an undergraduate student published nine computer SCI papers in a row within a month, using this as a starting point to criticize the academic atmosphere of Chinese institutions of higher learning, criticize the lax review of a journal, and name the undergraduate student from Jinda.

It's like roasting a golden rack on a fire.

During the meeting, an old professor from the School of Software pushed his glasses, stood up and said tepidly: "...... I've read those nine papers, and they're actually pretty good, and it's not easy for undergraduates to write such papers. To say that he is irrigating is really far-fetched, and the quality of many computer journal submissions is not as good as his. The one called Zhu Fangcai...... Educational commentators, who may not know much about information technology at all, may communicate with him and point out his mistakes, which should allow him to delete the post. ”

Will you be disliked if you publish too many papers?

Many professors are pretending to be confused, this meeting is simply inexplicable!

"Unrealistic...... Zhu Fangcai, this guy, he doesn't know how many taels of water he has in his stomach? If you look at his title, educational commentator, popular science writer, which one seems to be in the same pot as us? The secretary sitting at the conference table shook his head and said, "People are clearly here to touch porcelain, what are they discussing with you?" ”

It's really not easy to deal with.

First of all, the student is not at fault, and it is impossible for the school to punish the student if he takes 10,000 steps back. On the other hand, it has formed a one-sided condemnation.

And the whole thing is funny, it is completely an outsider who takes advantage of his social status to point fingers.

As for the motivation, several school leaders also did not understand it.

It's good that it wasn't the time to fill in the volunteer a month ago, otherwise everyone here would have the heart to scold their mothers.

But either way, this incident has already taken a serious toll on the school's reputation!

Principal Xu's face was a little unsightly, and he was silent for about half a minute before he slowly spoke: "Now it is not a question of whether the thesis is well written, but the academic atmosphere of our school has been questioned by all walks of life, and our top priority now is to answer the questions and clarify to all sectors of society." On the other hand, we also need to find out what is going on! ”

After an afternoon of discussions, the meeting resulted in two decisions.

On the one hand, for the sake of the reputation of the university, we launched public relations on the public opinion impact brought by this blog post, issued an announcement to clarify the academic value of the paper, and at the same time issued a warning letter from the lawyer, demanding an apology. On the other hand, the leaders of various faculties and departments were asked to find out the undergraduate student surnamed Lu and ask what the specific situation was.

9 SCI articles a month, which is a double-digit short of one, sounds really magical. Although the professors of the School of Software here have also had the experience of irrigation, after all, the gold content of computer papers is there, but no one has ever been so crazy without water!

However, at this time, the school leaders still didn't know, in fact, Lu Zhou really sent ten articles, but the other one was not a computer, but a mathematics ......

……

Bib, comment section.

[Damn, an undergraduate student published nine SCI articles, liar, this thing is so good? 】

【…… It feels like I'm on my too. (Dog's Head)】

[Support Teacher Zhu! Fight the academic cancer! Correct this unhealthy trend! (fist) (fist)】

[As an international student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I said that such a phenomenon is completely impossible to happen in the United States, and I don't need to think about it, the contributor must have taken advantage of the loopholes of the pseudo-review mechanism of some domestic general journals......]

[Sadly, what kind of students do our universities produce!] What is the use of a researcher who can only write papers? Can a dissertation be turned into an atomic bomb? Even undergraduates can write so much! It is conceivable that the academic community in our country is already terminally ill......]

[Save the province of washing the floor, you try to write 9 papers in a month, don't beep next to it if you can't do it. 】

Damn, what's the hell?

Isn't there a single comment with a normal IQ that is on my side?

20,000 retweets, 10,000 comments, countless likes!

Sitting in the empty classroom and brushing his neck, Lu Zhou became more and more angry the more he looked at it, but there was no good way.

People don't really care what the truth is, they always just want to see what they want to see.

For example, authority has been overthrown, "products under test-oriented education" have been overthrown, and scientific bulls have been among the people, piercing the veil of "hypocrisy" in the academic world...... As for whether the paper is really worthless as the surname Zhu said, how many people will take a look at it with their own eyes?

Inexistent.

In order to spray these trolls, Lu Zhou also specially registered a scarf, but the comments posted by him, the party, were in the sea, and there was not even a like.

Perhaps, this is the sadness of the small transparent scarf......

After reciting a few words of normalcy, Lu Zhou turned off the mobile phone screen as always, reached out and grabbed his hair.

I thought I had chosen the easiest task, but I didn't expect such a big pit to be hidden inside.

In fact, he was negligent, if he published an article under a pseudonym at that time, no one would have noticed it at all. But it's already like this, and it's useless to regret it.

Just then, a call came to his phone.

When I picked it up, it was Old Tang calling.

Lu Zhou's expression was a little strange, he really couldn't think of any reason for Lao Tang to find himself, and said that it wouldn't have anything to do with the paper, right?

Probably not, right?

With uncertainty, Lu Zhou answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Xiao Lu, what are you busy with?"

Listening to the voice, it was quite calm, Lu Zhou calmed down and said, "Self-study in the classroom...... Can I help you? ”

Professor Tang paused for a moment and continued, "If it's convenient, come to my office. ”

"Now?"

"Well, right now."

……

After packing up his things, Lu Zhou put on his computer and books and went straight to Professor Tang's office.

When he entered, he found that Director Lu from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Director Zhang from the Department of Computer Science were also here.

Glancing at Lu Zhou who walked in, the three professors first smiled, then glanced at each other with some subtle expressions, made eye contact, and finally Professor Tang sighed and said straight to the point: "Lu Zhou, let me ask you something." ”

Lu Zhou said, "Professor, you ask." ”

Professor Tang continued to ask, "Did you ...... some time ago After publishing that mathematical paper, did you submit it to a SCI journal? ”

Knowing that most of it was hidden, Lu Zhou sighed in his heart and replied truthfully: "Yes." ”

Director Zhang looked at Director Lu next to him and said helplessly: "Sure enough...... With the surname Lu, I pondered that there were few people with the surname Lu in our department. I've asked one by one, let alone writing papers, and I don't even know how to submit them. ”

Professor Tang was anxious, and asked again, "You sent a math paper, didn't you?" ”

"Yes......" Lu Zhou nodded honestly, but then added in a low voice, "I also sent other papers...... On Artificial Intelligence and Geographic Information Systems. ”

Professor Tang's eyes were about to pop out: "You...... Why are you running to send computer papers again! Didn't you study that Mersenne prime the other day? ”

"I found out that the newspaper and magazine gave money for submission, and one article had to be 150," Lu Zhou whispered, glancing at Professor Tang embarrassedly, "and then I broke down what I researched into nine copies and wrote a paper and sent it...... Can't you? ”

Professor Tang: "......"

Director Lu: "......"

Director Zhang: "......"

Is there a problem?

Of course, no problem, after all, schools encourage students to post more papers, and it sounds strange to send papers for manuscript fees, but it's not a bad thing......

But something went wrong in this matter.

The office fell into a mysterious silence, and in the end, Director Lu coughed and said in a friendly tone, "That...... Mr. Lu, did you write your own paper? ”

"Of course," Lu Zhou nodded, "and I wrote it in the library." ”

He really didn't lie, because it was not enough to just redeem the paper from the system, if he couldn't understand the knowledge points in it, he wouldn't be able to write at all, at most he would just copy the algorithm.

In order to complete these papers, he read more than 100 literatures alone, not to mention those professional books.

So not to mention what kind of monitoring, even if it is an on-site inspection of a few questions about artificial intelligence and GIS systems, he can answer them fluently.

Of course, if you ask some questions beyond the scope and ask about the application of artificial intelligence in other fields, it may be a bit suspenseful. However, if there is a system, it is not difficult to exchange points on the spot, at most it is a waste......

Director Lu didn't know what to say, and finally Director Zhang of the Software Institute stood up, smiled, and said: "Director Lu actually didn't mean anything else, but we didn't expect that you not only have a set of mathematics, but also have such a high insight into information technology." I've seen your C language score, 95 points is already very good, and of course we believe that you wrote the paper...... But now some people don't believe it, and they are picking it out to make a fuss. Have you ever worn a scarf? ”

In fact, although most artificial intelligence is written in C++, there is no direct correlation between C language test scores and artificial intelligence, because teachers will not teach in-depth things at all except for teaching some basic methods of using C++.

But on the other hand, people who can write such a paper will not be too bad on the basis of the C language test, and the score of 95 points can be regarded as meeting Director Zhang's expectations.

"Are you talking about that article?" Lu Zhou asked.

"Yes." Staring at Lu Zhou's eyes, Director Zhang nodded, "Have you already seen it?" ”

"I've seen it," although he was so angry in his heart, he still had to maintain his demeanor in front of outsiders, Lu Zhou waved his hand, and said as if he didn't care, "That kind of thing is brainless smear throughout, I don't bother to meet him at all." ”

Although when I said this, I longed to slash him with a knife.

"Student Lu, I have to correct you a little," Director Lu looked at Lu Zhou seriously, "You are not just a person, you are a student of our school, representing the reputation of our school!" We will not engage in such academic immorality, nor will we allow anyone to maliciously smear our students. I hope you will take this incident seriously and in a correct manner. ”

"Director Lu, but I can't help it? I DM him and ignore me. Lu Zhou said helplessly.

"Actually, Director Lu doesn't mean anything else, I just hope that your attitude will not be so negative," Director Zhang said in a relaxed tone, "In terms of public opinion, our school will respond publicly, but we hope that you can cooperate with us and speak for yourself and the school on appropriate occasions." May I? ”

It turned out to be for me......

What did I think, I said it earlier!

Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"I agree!"
