Chapter 26 Rejection
When I came back from the cutting-edge phone, it was not early. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhou Chen entered the door of the company in the morning and didn't come out until the evening, unable to resist the enthusiasm of Liang Feixue and Xu Feng, a few people went to a nearby restaurant to rub it again, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when they returned home.
In the living room, only my sister Zhou Luo and my mother Yang Xiying were still watching TV, and my father Zhou Chuming was mostly preparing for teaching work in the study.
"Brother, why did you come back so late?"
Hearing a noise at the door, Zhou Luo, who was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV and playing with his mobile phone, glanced back at Zhou Luo, who was still rippling on his legs.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was back, he hurriedly threw away his mobile phone, put on his slippers and ran over to circle around Zhou Chen to see if he had brought anything delicious back.
"Don't look for it, there's nothing good to eat."
Zhou Chen knows his sister's temperament very well, like a greedy cat, and likes snacks the most.
Seeing his sister's disappointed expression on her depressed face, he smiled, took out a quasi-"crescent mobile phone" from his pocket and handed it to her.
This is one of the two prototypes brushed by Liang Feixue, and when Zhou Chen came back, he asked Liang Feixue for one by the way.
"Huh!" Zhou Luo saw that it was a new mobile phone, his eyes suddenly widened for half a circle, and he immediately smiled, "It's not bad to have a mobile phone without snacks......" and then smiled happily.
"Xiao Chen, how can you buy a new mobile phone for Luo Luo, this girl is about to be in her third year of high school, and playing with her mobile phone will delay her studies!"
Mother Yang Xiying looked at Zhou Chen with some reproach.
Zhou Chen smiled: "Mom, it's okay, learning is actually mainly about self-awareness, conscious children are actually the same whether they have a mobile phone or not, unconsciously, no matter how strict the discipline is, it will not be useful." ”
Of course, this sentence hit Zhou Luo's heart, and she nodded violently on the side, as if complaining that she was a good baby.
Yang Xiying couldn't help laughing: "Look at her like this, how can she be a little conscious?" ”
"Mom, you can't look at me like this with colored glasses, I've always been very conscious!"
With Zhou Chen as a backer, Zhou Luo has become a lot more courageous, and he dares to talk back to his mother directly.
Zhou Chen glanced at her, and was also very speechless, this girl was a fox and a fake tiger, and it took a lot of effort to persuade her mother to agree to Zhou Luo to accept the new mobile phone, and Zhou Chen quickly went back to his room.
Opening the laptop, he first logged in to his QQ number.
I saw an avatar called "Little Lich" in the friends bar flashing rapidly.
The little lich is the QQ nickname of Yang Xi he met on the train.
The two have only known each other for a few hours in reality, but they have been in contact through QQ for the past few days.
Sometimes it was Yang Xi who shared with him what he had seen, such as where he had gone today, which shopping mall he visited, and what interesting things he encountered, and sometimes Yang Xi would ask Zhou Chen some knowledge in textbooks.
Since discovering that Zhou Chen can answer her doubts very well, she has often consulted Zhou Chen, and she has regarded him as her personal teacher.
However, tonight, Yang Xi did not ask Zhou Chen for advice.
Little Lich: Are you there?
The message was sent half an hour ago, and it was just two words, and it didn't come with a problem to solve, as usual.
Zhou Chen felt strange and was about to reply to her message, when he said, "Ding Dong! With a bang, the mailbox prompt window showed that an email had arrived. As you can see from the title of the window, this is a reply email from the journal Nature.
Nature got a reply so soon? Zhou Chen was slightly surprised.
Generally speaking, the review period for Nature is not too short, ranging from one or two weeks to a month or more. How much time it takes depends on the difficulty of the manuscript and the personal factors of the reviewers.
Zhou Chen's manuscript was submitted a week ago, and it was not immediately rejected at that time, so it can be considered that the manuscript has passed the preliminary review and editing level and entered the stage of expert review.
The expert review was completed in a week, and the efficiency of "Nature" is still quite high! Zhou Chen smiled and clicked on the email link.
But when the email was opened, the smile on his face froze.
I saw that the email was written in a decent manner, first with a word of praise and encouragement, and then explained that his manuscript did not pass the final approval of the editorial department, and I hope that he will continue to work hard, and welcome to continue to submit articles to Nature in the future.
No matter how colorful the words are, the content of the email can be summed up in a word, that is, he was rejected!
The incredible expression on Zhou Chen's face, I don't know what's going on!
What caused Nature to reject his manuscript?
Zhou Chen frowned, this paper "On a Special Black Hole State and the Connection between the "Extreme Kerr Black Hole" and the "Cosmic Supervision Hypothesis" has been verified by Yang Hexin and Liang Zhiyuan, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of quality, so when he submitted the manuscript to Nature, he did not consider the rejection of the manuscript.
However, the reality is that it has now been rejected, what is going on?
This paper condensed Zhou Chen's great efforts, you can imagine how depressed he was at this time, Zhou Chen shook his head, pulled the mouse and began to browse the full text of the email.
Generally speaking, the editorial department's reply will be very tactful and express gratitude to the author for the submission, and will also include the reason why the manuscript did not pass the review, which is to show respect for the author, and can also be used by the author as a reference for revision.
Of course, this is a standard template, and the reason for rejection stated in the email should not be taken seriously.
"The reviewer believes that although the paper has relatively high quality and no obvious loopholes, it will not pass the review due to great academic controversy and lack of more tangible evidence as evidence."
Zhou Chen looked at the reply from the editorial department, and the email did not reject the paper, but suggested that the author revise it again before publication.
This is quite euphemistic, if the quality of the paper is really not good, the rejected manuscript will often indicate that it will not accept the same manuscript to be revised and resubmitted.
Of course, Zhou Chen also saw the problem, it seems that it is because of his lack of reputation!
If he had been a celebrity in the scientific world, the outcome might have been completely different.
Any journal is always very cautious about the contributions of celebrities, because these celebrities may come up with some new theories that affect the direction of history.
The articles in Nature don't have to be inscrutable, it's also very reportable, and some new discoveries are often reported, so Nature also prefers those new discoveries.
On the contrary, articles that discuss academic issues in a proper manner are less likely to be published.
Articles submitted to Nature generally meet two judgments of quality and importance. The quality of the article can be measured objectively, which can be judged from the depth and breadth of the research, the research method, the completeness and credibility of the data and data, and the logical reasoning and conclusion of the paper.
In this regard, Zhou Chen's paper meets the requirements.
Importance is a very subjective concept, there is no fixed measurement standard, and the importance of research in different fields is basically incomparable, and there is no comparative meaning.
If you want to say that Zhou Chen's article is important, it is indeed very important for professional field research, but it is not important, and it is really not important, the matter of black holes is too far away from us.
