Articles published in Nature can generally be divided into three types, namely academic papers (Articale), research reports (Letters) and correspondence (Correspondence). Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Located at the top of the page, the "Research Report" is the equivalent of the "News" section of Nature, which is shorter and more time-sensitive than an academic paper, and mainly publishes some of the researcher's new findings and achievements.

By publishing a "research report" of an article published in Science in a prominent position in Nature, Alva's decision was tantamount to letting Nature slap itself in the face.

But if you don't do this, you can't, the editor-in-chief Alva knows that the paper incident has caused a very sensational public opinion, and if the value of the paper is really as rumored, then if Nature does not publish it, it will only make people think that Nature is stingy.

If you lose, you lose, and you bravely take it on, and also publish a "research report" for a competitor's article, which is more uncomfortable, but at least it can win the impression of being above board. Alva's editor-in-chief wants to turn bad things into good things and send a message to the world that Nature is an old, responsible, comprehensive international journal dedicated to disseminating the most advanced scientific and technological achievements, even those of competitors.

Soon, the Tokyo editorial office in the Far East faxed the manuscript, and the entire editorial office immediately became busy, and the editors showed their talents, and through various means, they contacted a group of researchers in the industry as quickly as possible, and then organized them to begin to evaluate the value of the manuscript.

In parallel with the assessment, they urgently sent out an invitation to several acquaintances to write a dedicated review article for the "Newsletter" section of the latest issue of Nature.

……

Time passes quietly like sand in an hourglass.

On September 10, the latest issue of Science was finally released in the midst of a long wait.

North America is the most influential place for Science, and the expectations for Science are certainly the highest among all regions.

On this day, the latest issue of Science was delivered to readers by postman, and countless anticipators finally got their wish to see the article in Science!

Professor Leander, a PhD supervisor at the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Victoria University in Canada, sat in his office and read the latest issue of Science when he got it from his assistant.

As expected, Zhou Chen's paper appeared on Science as the cover paper, and correspondingly, the cover picture of Science was replaced with a picture of the universe, only to see a rotating black hole surrounded by stars, which was being held in the palm of one hand and looked at, with two lines of complex formulas floating around the edge......

"The picture is very exquisite, I don't know if the content will satisfy me." It is rumored that this paper perfectly solves the problem of black hole thermodynamics, but after all, rumors are rumors, and it is really difficult to guess the actual thinking of the author.

It's like knowing that someone has discovered a new mode of fusion reaction, but you can't guess what that model is.

Thinking that he and a few of his friends had listed countless possible ideas around the subject, Professor Leander was eager to know if any of them were the same as the author's. Even if it's just a slight edge, it's a good thing for him.

"Science" is very effective in promoting the paper, and the first thing readers will read after getting the journal is this recommended article. And in view of the complex mathematical derivation in the paper, "Science" even invited a mathematician to derive and demonstrate the formula that appeared in the article, and the content of this argument was written into an independent book, immediately after Zhou Chen's paper.

This arrangement can be said to highlight the conscience of the magazine, so that many scientists who are not specialized in mathematics feel the friendliness of the face!

But when they turned to the mathematical argument part, they looked at it, and gradually dizzy, and they didn't think that such an arrangement was friendly, which was blatant contempt for their mathematical skills!

Though...... They admit that they really can't read it!

Professor Leander, however, is one of the few who specializes in both astrophysics and is a great mathematician. When he finished reading Zhou Chen's paper, the whole person was like drinking a pot of spirits, and his stomach was warm.

"I really didn't expect that I could still start from this point of view, these mathematical transformations are unbelievable." He muttered to himself, then picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it.

"Man, I probably know the method of this paper, what, you and Tommy didn't understand it? Haha, well, I'll go over and let the great Professor Leander teach you a few tricks. ”

Professor Leander laughed.

At the same time, Nature also released a special issue on this day, and the content of the journal mostly revolved around Zhou Chen's paper.

In one day, two world-renowned journals revolved around the same paper, which is unprecedented.

On this day, countless scientists around the world buried their heads on their desks, struggling to deduce the formulas in the papers.

……

……

As the sun rises, the sun shines on the earth again, and a new and busy day arrives.

At nine o'clock, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in to deliver documents to him, Cen Xian'an looked up at her, and casually ordered: "You help me to take a look, has the latest issue of Science been delivered?" ”

As the head of the Department of Physics, Cen is also a doctoral supervisor, and it has been his habit to read articles in every issue of Science and Nature for many years. He also knows about the recent uproar about the paper, and according to the calculation, today is the day when "Science" will arrive, and Cen Xianxin is a little curious about the paper, wanting to see how it is written.

The female secretary nodded and went out, and after a while, she walked in with a stack of materials, and the top one was the "Science" that Cen Xian'an asked her to read.

"Well, there's nothing for you here for the time being, let's go out first." Cen Xian'an waved his hand to let the female secretary out, and then picked up "Science" and flipped through it.

After a while, Cen Xian'an put down "Science", he didn't know what to say about the paper, anyway, it was published in "Science" and was sought after by so many people, which already showed its strength.

At this time, he saw the name of the author of the paper, and his eyes drifted to the tadpole-like text: "ZHOU, chen".

"Huh? This name is a little familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere......" Cen Xian'an frowned suspiciously, and then he saw the author's mailing address again, and it was actually written by the School of Physical Sciences of UCAS.

"How could this be such a coincidence?"

Cen Xian'an muttered, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed from his mind, and an incredible thought came to him: "This 'ZHOU, chen', could it be the disciple that Professor Zhao Fengxue just recruited?" ”

Zhao Fengxue accepted a new disciple and hired him as a lecturer in the Department of Physics, which Cen Xian'an did in Zhao Fengxue's face. Because it was an exceptional move, Cen Xian'an had a particularly profound impact on this matter.

"Is it really him?" Cen Xian'an's heart beat violently, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

He suddenly realized that if it weren't for Zhou Chen's extraordinary ability, how could Professor Zhao Fengxue, who has always been rigorous, make such an unconventional arrangement for him to study for a doctorate and serve as a lecturer?

Now it seems that Zhao Fengxue has known that Zhou Chen is the author of this paper for a long time!

"By the way, it is rumored that Professor Zhao is the review expert of this paper! So of course he knows! Cen Xian'an now understood, and now he has eight or nine points of confidence in his guess that Zhou Chen is the author of the article.

But it's not right, when "Science" sent him the manuscript, Zhou Chen was already his disciple, and the letter of appointment given to him by Beijing Normal University had already been sent. Could it be that there is really such a coincidence in this world, Lao Zhao just accepted Zhou Chen's disciple, and in the blink of an eye, the paper submitted by the disciple was forwarded to him for review? This old Zhao is really one step ahead of others in everything! ”

Cen Xian'an smiled, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed Zhao Fengxue's number. No matter how much you guess, it is better to call and ask the person concerned to come quickly and accurately.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, let me ask you something, it's your disciple Zhou Chen, today I saw the article on the thermodynamics of black holes in Science, what, the author is your disciple Zhou Chen? Oh, that's fine, it's okay, it's okay. ”

On the phone, Cen Xian'an asked if Zhou Chen was the author of the article, and after receiving Zhao Fengxue's affirmative answer, he showed a smile on his face and hung up the phone with satisfaction.

At the beginning, he agreed that Zhao Fengxue would arrange a lecturer position for Zhou Chen, strictly speaking, Cen Xian'an took some responsibility, but in retrospect, he found that this matter was really a wise decision.

Zhou Chen's paper is now a hot topic in Science, and it is also a very hot topic in Nature.

This is the supreme honor and qualification for scientific researchers!

As the author of the article, it can be said that Zhou Chen has completely gained a firm foothold in the scientific community through this article!

Cen Xian'an saw further, he knew that Zhou Chen could have such achievements at such a young age, and his future achievements would definitely be limitless. And the appointment of such a young scholar as a lecturer at Beijing Normal University is not also the credit of him Cen Xian'an?

The more Cen Xian'an thought about it, the more excited he became, he stood up suddenly, picked up Science and went out the door, and walked towards the principal's office, stumbling the whole process, like a drunken drunk.
