Principal Room.

Hans looked at the cover of the paper in his hand, and said excitedly and hesitantly:

"Professor Snape, do you really want to sign Lord Iris as the second author?"

"Yes, Lord Hans." Colin laughed.

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

Before Hans could speak, Iris had already sternly refused.

"Lord Iris......" Hans tried to persuade him not to refuse.

However, Iris had already spoken first, "Professor Snape, I know what you think, you don't think you have enough qualifications, and you want to add the names of our old fellows to the signature of the paper, so that it can be approved more easily." ”

Without waiting for Colin to answer, Iris was already anxious to continue: "But in fact, you don't need to worry about it at all, your thesis is clearer and clearer than your final report, as long as the reviewer is not blind, there will be absolutely no problem, not to mention that you still have the guarantee of His Excellency Felix......"

"Lord Iris."

Colin took advantage of the old man's breath and hurriedly interjected: "You misunderstood, I didn't think about the question of whether the thesis passed or not, just based on general academic habits, you know, when I took over the project of the Burning Demon Pattern Group, you had already completed a lot of basic work, and some of the content of my paper directly quoted your research." ”

"But when I voluntarily withdrew from the project, it meant that I had already given up that part of the research."

"Yes, I can choose not to sign your name by the rules, but that's not my character." Colin Road.

"Your Excellency Iris, you may want to think about it......" Hans hurriedly admonished.

This is definitely a good thing for this principal.

Generally speaking, when a college teacher publishes a paper, the most he can do is to write the professor of the XX Academy of Magic in the identity column, and when calculating the comprehensive strength of an academy, it can be calculated.

But it is clear that if Cohen Snape's paper adds Iris's name to it, it is tantamount to invisibly increasing the weight of the academy.

"This ......"

Iris said he wasn't tempted, and that was a lie.

Once the paper is approved, the figure of just 1.5% will go down in history, and the Albert Medal is in the bag.

This is not only the glory of Iris, but the glory of the entire Ilya School of Magic, and even the glory of the Duchy of Banner.

The last time Banner won an award at the Albert level was decades ago.

The Banner wizarding world, which does not have the Magic Federation as a backer, is not only academically backward, but also has a natural disadvantage in terms of personal relationships, and although academic awards are already relatively pure things, it is impossible to be without a little political factor.

This is one of the reasons why most mages want Banner to join the Blue League.

Without waiting for Iris to decide, Colin continued: "Not only that, but I would like to have His Excellency Hans or His Excellency Ackermann be the corresponding author of this paper. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Hans opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

The so-called corresponding author, although it may sound like he is only responsible for the duty of communicating with the editorial department, is actually very high. The corresponding author, theoretically speaking, is the general person in charge of the project, bears the funding of the project, and is responsible for the content of the paper, the reliability of the data, etc. In general, it is also the external contact for the paper.

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be good......" Hans looked a little sneered, wanting to agree immediately, but not too embarrassed.

On the one hand, novices have no experience in paper submission and external communication, and on the other hand, the reputation of the corresponding author itself is also a guarantee to increase the credibility of the paper.

For Cohen Snape, however, none of this was needed.

He could have served as both the first author and the corresponding author himself.

Cohen Snape was able to put the name of Elijah School of Magic on his paper, and he was already very concerned about the college, after all, the academy only provided him with some paper and a few student assistants, and it was understandable to say that it was done independently.

Hans even had the feeling that Professor Snape probably thought that there would be many similar achievements in the future, and that he didn't care at all.

But in any case, Cohen Snape's move was a huge surprise for the academy.

"Lord Hans."

Colin laughs: "Actually, I'm not very interested in submitting papers and negotiating with journals, including publicity, so I hope the college can help with that." ”

This is a mixed bag.

And the biggest reason why Colin gave up part of his honor to the academy was the Chaos Night Pearl.

He came to Ilya for three purposes.

One is to get the Chaos Night Pearl and speed up his own research on space magic;

the second is to rebuild the trade routes between Xia Ya and the Western Continent;

The third is to prompt Banner to join the Blue Alliance.

These three things are considered from their own interests or those of Xiaya.

Now the first goal has been accomplished, but for the college, it is a small loss. Although everyone knows that the loss of the Night Pearl is not the responsibility of the Academy, the Federation is not monolithic, and some people will oppose the addition of new members for some reason, which will give those people an excuse to oppose Banner joining the Blue Alliance.

Colin thought he was a good person, and if it weren't for the fact that the Night Pearl was too important to space magic, he wouldn't have made such a decision, not to mention that the Ilya School of Magic had always been good to him.

Therefore, compensation from other sources is also planned.

An Albert Medal-level paper, with the signature of a second author and corresponding author, is far more valuable than the pearl of the night for the college.

After listening to the steps given by Colin, Hans immediately smiled: "Please rest assured Professor Snape in this regard, although we are not members of the Federation, after all, we have been deeply involved for many years, and some basic connections are still available." ”

"In that case, I will trouble you when it comes to choosing the journal to be submitted to and communicating with the review." Colin smiled.

"No trouble, no trouble......" Hans smiled from ear to ear.

Leave the principal's office.

Get out of the academy.

Colin walks through the scenic streets of Ilya and breathes in the soothing air.

The most tiring work has been done, and the rest is half by planning and half by luck.

He originally wanted to go to the beach to relax and eat seafood with local hard bread, but after not taking two steps, his mood suddenly became heavy, as if he had a bad premonition.

As if remembering something, Colin sighed slightly, and immediately walked briskly back to the apartment and into the basement.
