The top journal mentioned by Wang Hao and Li Ming is not the top journal in the actual sense, but refers to the 'core journal of the discipline'.

There are two ways in which international academic journals are ranked.

One is to rudely rank by the value of the 'impact factor', and the three major journals of Nature, Science and Cell have long occupied the top positions of the 'impact factor', and they are considered to be the 'top journals in practical significance'.

This ranking method is very inaccurate, and it is not that papers published in top journals are better than other papers, because most of the papers in top journals belong to the 'social sciences' or 'natural sciences' category.

It's hard to say that a 'social science' or 'natural science' essay will be more meaningful than a professional science or engineering paper.

Different types, not comparable.

Another way of ranking is to divide by discipline, professional discipline journals can enter the ranks of discipline division, and can be ranked in the top dozens of disciplines, often regarded as 'discipline core journals'.

This division is more professional and meaningful.

For example, the number of research papers in basic mathematics is very rare compared with other types, and the impact factor of professional mathematics journals is generally not high.

Last year, the first-ranked professional mathematics journal had an impact factor of only '17', and the second place dropped directly to '6', and most of the core journals of mathematics had an impact factor between '1' and '3'.

Of course.

For example, the four top journals in mathematics are recognized as having a much smaller impact factor because of the small number of papers published, and the ranking of mathematics subjects has always been outside the top ten.

"Computer Mathematics and Information Engineering" belongs to the category of mathematics and computer, belonging to the list of information and computer categories, with an impact factor of '11' last year, ranking among the top 10 in the subject category.

That is, of course, a 'subject core journal'.

Papers that can often be published in 'core journals' can be called 'very good', and the difficulty of publication is also very high.

Xihai University has more than 2,000 faculty members, including more than 700 professors and associate professors, and published more than 2,300 SCI papers last year, of which the number of papers in 'discipline core journals' was only more than 500.

Among the more than 500 papers in the 'core journals of the discipline', social sciences and natural sciences account for the highest proportion, reaching more than 70 percent.

Applications and engineering followed, with more than 100 articles.

Mathematics, physics and other basic science research papers have the least number of papers, only a pitiful dozen, still published in journals at the bottom of the subject rankings.

Wang Hao's papers related to the 'Fourier transform' belong to mathematical computer papers, which can be classified in the ranks of application and engineering.

Xihai University has a faculty team of more than 2,000 people, more than 700 professors and associate professors, and only more than 100 papers in engineering 'core journals' in a year, while Wang Hao contributed three papers in one go.

It can well be imagined......

When Li Ming confirmed the news, he was shocked and excited.

When Li Ming called Zhu Jianrong, Zhu Jianrong thought that Li Ming was crazy when he heard the news, and asked several times in a row before he was sure that the news was true.

Zhu Jianrong immediately went to the school's science and technology department.

Then, he and Li Ming swiped the webpage together and carefully read the new issue of information released by Computer Mathematics and Information Engineering.

"Application Expansion of Fourier Transform, Fourier Transform-Assisted Data Analysis Algorithm for Mathematical Model Construction (1), Fourier Transform-Assisted Data Analysis Algorithm for Mathematical Model Construction (2)......"

"It's really three!"

"There is only one author, Wang Hao, and the unit is Xihai University, that's right!"

"It should be true!"

"It's a talent...... No, it's a genius! ”

Li Ming nodded very forcefully, and said with some smugness, "I have long known that Wang Hao is a genius. I interviewed. When he applied for the project, I gave it directly, and he definitely can! ”

Zhu Jianrong nodded, "However, don't spread this news yet, I don't know the specific content of the paper yet, and I can't download it if I order it online." ”

"Wait, let's be sure!"

……

Zhu Jianrong and Li Ming had a good discussion, saying that they should cover the news first and don't say it, but when there is big news that 'does not have to be kept secret', the desire to share is uncontrollable at all.

It only took ten minutes for Zhou Qingyuan to know the news.

It was Li Ming who said it.

Li Ming thought that Zhou Qingyuan recommended Wang Hao to come to Xihai University, and thought that Zhou Qingyuan had already known, so he shared and discussed it with him.

Zhu Jianrong is the same. He thinks it's not a big deal to share the 'big news' with colleagues, as long as everyone doesn't talk about it.

Then, Ying Wei, associate dean of the Faculty of Science, knew.

And then ......

Wang Hao was sure that he could get the school's bonus, and his mood naturally became very comfortable, and he hung several papers under the topic of 'partial differential equations' research, studied the operational problems such as uploading and applying, and went to the classroom to lecture normally.

By the end of the course, it was almost twelve o'clock.

He went to the restaurant to pack a boxed lunch, and went back to the office to submit the application as well.

It's the beginning of the month, and the salary will be paid immediately.

Wang Hao hopes to get the dissertation subsidy as soon as possible, and if he misses the salary payment time, he will have to wait until next month.

At noon, the office was bustling.

Yan Jing said that the problems encountered in experimental research are that the aging measurement values of laboratory equipment are not accurate, and it is difficult to apply for the purchase of new equipment.

Several people comforted him and helped him find a way.

Zhang Zhiqiang said that he could try to make a report and apply for a 'youth gene project', so that he could have money to buy new equipment.

There is a lecturer in the office next to him, his name is Zhao Chunliang, who is a graduate tutor, and he praised Zhang Zhiqiang a few words.

Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to be a little fluttering, and began to talk about the topic of 'title promotion', "My experience is that if you have a core thesis and apply for a project, the period of time is two or three years, and it is no problem to be promoted to associate professor." ”

Zhao Chunliang listened a little darkly, he is the same as Zhu Ping, he still has a doctorate, and he has also published a core paper.

He has been working for more than four years, and he has not been promoted to associate professor.

The 'experience' that Zhang Zhiqiang said is no different from the discharge of foul-smelling gases.

The people in the office are used to it.

Yan Jing and Luo Dayong listened happily, while Zhu Ping's expression was obviously dissatisfied and disdainful.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

A female teacher wearing glasses shouted, "Vice Dean Ying is here, as well as Director Zhu and Director Li of Academic Affairs, and several leaders have come over, I heard what they said 'associate professor', someone in your office has mentioned associate professor?" ”

Zhang Zhiqiang stood up suddenly, "It should be coming to me." ”

The others nodded their heads as well.

If you want to mention an associate professor, it can only be Zhang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Zhiqiang simply stood at the door and waited, and looked towards the staircase, and saw a group of leaders coming over.

Zhu Jianrong walked in front and saw Zhang Zhiqiang waiting at the door.

He glanced at the room number of the office, confirmed that it was this office, and immediately grabbed Zhang Zhiqiang's hand enthusiastically, and said excitedly, "Young man, you are a talent!" Real talent! ”

"We have just discussed, as soon as the semester is over, we will apply for you to be promoted, Xihai University attaches great importance to talents, special talents like you, do not need to be limited by qualifications, teaching years. Special talents, special treatment, special affairs! ”

"Thank you! Thank you for the affirmation! Zhang Zhiqiang's face was full of excitement.

A crowd gathered around.

Zhu Jianrong hugged Zhang Zhiqiang's shoulders intimately, "This is not a compliment, what I am saying is the truth." Wang Hao, your name is good, the atmosphere is magnificent, the spirit is eternal, and the sea is vast...... A 'ho' word ......"

As he spoke, he noticed that the scene fell silent.

The people around him stopped talking, and the young man in his arms stopped laughing.

What's going on?

Zhu Jianrong looked around with doubts.

Zhou Qingyuan came over and pulled down his clothes, and reminded him in a low voice with a hard laugh, "He, not Wang Hao......"

“——？”

Zhu Jianrong's face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Zhiqiang froze in place, he looked at the people around him, and felt an embarrassment called 'social death'.
