Chapter VI Periodicals
On the other end of the phone, Professor Yang heard Zhou Chen's question and knew that Zhou Chen had misunderstood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"It's not what you think, there is no problem with the thesis itself, and the defense committee has also given a very high evaluation, and it has been selected as an A-level excellent paper."
This next week is even more confused.
"Professor Yang, since the paper is fine, what is the situation?"
Professor Yang smiled and said, "It's a good thing, the specific situation is not clear on the phone, you come to my office first, and we will talk slowly." ”
"Oh yes, I'll get over here."
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen still didn't understand what Professor Yang's "good thing" meant, but since it was a good thing, he shouldn't have to worry about it.
It's just that in this way, he can't go back to the dormitory, so he found a place to finish breakfast, and Zhou Chen walked towards the office of his instructor, Professor Yang.
Professor Yang, 65, is a high-energy astrophysicist at the National Astronomical Observatories.
He is now working at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do basic theoretical research, specializing in supernova explosions and black hole theory, and his current research direction is mainly to try to elucidate the connection between cosmic rays and supernova explosions through observation.
Yang Hexin's office is located in the northernmost part of the School of Physical Sciences building, and because one person owns an office, the interior layout is relatively casual.
There is a blackboard in a conspicuous place in the office, on which are written a string of ghostly formulas, dense formulas rarely have common symbols, and the layman feels dizzy when he sees it.
When Zhou Chen rushed over, Yang Hexin was still immersed in the desk revising a few papers, and when he saw Zhou Chen coming, he stopped. took off his glasses and happily motioned for Zhou Chen to find a random place to sit down.
Zhou Chen had been following Yang Hexin for more than two years, and he was already very familiar with Yang Hexin's temperament, and knew that this old man had no arrogance in treating people, so he found a place to sit down in front of him according to his wishes.
Yang Hexin said happily: "Xiao Chen, I have good news to tell you here, about your paper......"
“…… After the unanimous vote of all the judges of the defense committee, your paper on the state of black holes was rated as an A-level excellent paper in this year's master's thesis, which is a matter that has been decided. ”
As he spoke, Yang Hexin glanced at his proud protégé with a smile, and the expression on his face looked amiable.
"But there was some disagreement in the committee about the publication of the paper."
"What disagreement?" Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
"The defense committee originally wanted to publish your paper in the Journal of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and recommend it to the Journal of Astronomical Sinica as an academic paper, but Professor Liang Zhiyuan raised a different opinion......
Journal of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is one of the five academic journals sponsored by the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The purpose of this journal is to reflect the innovative scientific research achievements of graduate students, supervisors and researchers in China in a timely manner, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening academic exchanges and promoting academic prosperity.
In particular, it has a benchmarking role in reflecting the cutting-edge and innovative characteristics of contemporary graduate theses.
To a certain extent, the existence of the Journal of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is a test ground for future scientific masters to publish their debut novels.
At the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, when the graduation season arrives every year, and it is also the time when the papers are most flooded, after a major wave of screening, the university will select a few excellent papers from many graduation theses and recommend them to the Journal for full text publication.
Correspondingly, these papers that have passed the quality test and are shortlisted in the list of the Journal reflect the competitiveness of the current graduating students to a certain extent, which is not only a proof of strength for the students, but also a good thing to add to the cake.
Zhou Chen's graduate thesis was rated as an excellent paper and will be published in the "Journal", Yang Hexin had predicted it in advance, so he was not much touched in his heart.
However, it would be different if it could be published in the "Astronomical Sinica" as an academic paper, it was an academic journal in the true sense, and it was a gratifying thing for Yang Hexin that his student's paper could be published in the "Astronomical Sinica".
At this time, Yang Hexin became more and more satisfied with Zhou Chen, a student.
Acta Astronomical Sinica is an astronomical academic journal sponsored by the Chinese Astronomical Society and undertaken by the Purple Mountain Observatory.
In order to ensure the quality of the journal, the editorial board of Acta Astronomical Sinica is composed of 30 senior professors and researchers in various fields of astronomy, and the editor-in-chief is experts engaged in the frontier research of astronomy, and 6 experts who are familiar with the content and publishing business of astronomy are hired to assist and guide the development of the journal.
In the domestic astronomical community, the academic authority of "Astronomical Sinica" is naturally undoubted, and if "Sky and Telescope" has a unique authority in the world, then there is no doubt that "Astronomical Sinica" is "Astronomical Sinica" in China.
Although in recent years, Acta Astronomical Sinica, like two other academic journals in China, Progress in Astronomy and Acta Astrophysical Sinica, has faced some endogenous problems. With the landing of the Chinese version of "Sky and Telescope" "Starry Sky" in China, domestic astronomical journals gradually have a feeling of mountains and rivers.
However, even if the "Astronomical Acta Sinica" has encountered some problems, its high threshold is still there, and it is a positive thing to be published by the "Astronomical Sinica".
"Professor Yang, what is Professor Liang Zhiyuan's opinion?"
Zhou Chen was very curious about what Professor Liang Zhiyuan's opinion was, which was different from that of the defense committee.
"Dean Liang means that you should not publish the paper on black holes to the public first, he suggested that you revise it first, and it is better to make the explanation of the extreme Kerr black hole rotation speed and the cosmic supervision hypothesis you proposed in the defense more detailed, and form a mathematical model that can be used for reference, and attach it to the paper, which should be a very valuable research topic!" Yang Hexin said with a smile.
"In addition, Dean Liang asked me to tell you that if there is anything you don't understand in the process, you can go directly to him."
Professor Liang Zhiyuan is an authority on astrophysics, and although he has been the associate dean of the School of Physical Sciences for many years, he is still unique in his research field, and if he can get his guidance, I believe it will not be long before Zhou's paper will shine.
A good paper is too important for a scientist, especially a young scientist who is about to enter society.
Five years ago, the School of Physical Sciences came out of an An Fengsheng, and this year, Yang Hexin is very much looking forward to Zhou Chen becoming another An Fengsheng!
"By the way, Xiao Chen, your English is okay."
Yang Hexin suddenly asked.
"I have passed level 6 in English, and I have no problem with professional English." Zhou Chen nodded.
Yang Hexin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's great, wait until you revise the paper, and then translate it into English, and then show it to me and Dean Liang, and the two old men will check it for you, and strive to pass the review of the editorial department of Nature." ”
"Wait, Professor Yang, the "Nature" you just mentioned is the famous "Nature" under the British Nature Publishing Group?"
"Of course!" Yang Hexin confirmed.
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say for a while, and while he was moved by the trust of Professor Yang Hexin and Professor Liang Zhiyuan, he was also a little moved to submit his paper to Nature.
