"Mr. Yu Xian, I'm sorry, because there are some layout problems, your paper has been rescheduled to be published next month."

This is the second similar reply Yu Xian has received.

The previous similar reply came from the editorial office of the Honolulu University Journal.

They have already sent a letter saying that they have accepted Yu Xian's paper, which was supposed to be published in July, but suddenly changed to August, so you can imagine whose handwriting it was.

In addition to Yu Xian's "Paleontological Research" that discovered high-integrity Pterodactyl fossils and three papers released in early January, the other two were secretly stuck by Wu Qianshan.

The paleontological circle is not large, and with Wu Qianshan's status, his influence is definitely not only limited to Sandalwood University's own journals, and Yu Xian is not sure what other journals he wants to sell face.

I talked to Wen Zhiyuan yesterday, and Wu Qianshan's meaning is obvious.

Yu Xian can join forces with his laboratory to publish the follow-up results on the fossils of the Odd Pterodactyl, or he can work hard to go to graduate school and join his laboratory.

Either way, Yu Xian has to waste a lot of time, mixed with the result of a parasitic fence.

The editorial department put Yu Xian's paper back, and Wu Qianshan could see the two unpublished papers.

The original manuscript and the letter of the editorial department are in the idle hands, and Wu Qianshan will not directly plagiarize.

In the next month, he can definitely "refer to" Yu Xian's paper, and take the lead in compiling a new article with the team to publish a new article with the fossil detection of the Odd Pterodactyl.

At that time, Yu Xian slowed them down, and the significance of the paper dropped significantly.

"It's disgusting..."

At this stage, Yu Xian has the option to withdraw those two journals and give up publication in the journal of Honolulu University and another journal.

In this way, you have to go to other journals to submit papers, and go to other places to go through the review and publication process, which will only take longer.

For example, the Journal of Paleontological Research published an article after a gap of two months, which is fast in terms of the rigor of the core journal.

At that time, the paper of Wu Qianshan's team had already been published, and it was immediately followed by Yu Xian's first article, which could be called a cutting-edge achievement.

Picking up his mobile phone, Yu Xian contacted Wen Zhiyuan.

"Professor Wen, I would like to withdraw the papers that have been temporarily accepted by the Journal of Honolulu University."

"It's... Yu Xian, you have to think clearly. ”

Wen Zhiyuan can't help, and his inner academic conscience is inclined to be idle, "After retraction, the publication is even slower." ”

"It's okay, I don't want to post it at Honolulu University."

"Yes, I'll help you with that."

In addition, Yu Xian also inquired about another journal that was also delayed, and it was really related to Wu Qianshan.

Not only southern universities and research institutions, Wu Qianshan also has a wide range of academic contacts in the north of Tianyi Country, no matter how distressed Wen Zhiyuan is, he is not optimistic about idleness.

"If Professor Laowen doesn't bother, I'll figure it out myself."

After a pause in the topic, Yu Xian went straight to the point again, "Professor Wen, is that guy Wu Qianshan copying my paper in full swing?" ”

"This..."

There was some hesitation on the phone, and Wen Zhiyuan finally sighed.

"Professor Wu is well-educated, and he will definitely not do low-end things such as copying papers or washing manuscripts, but more or less... Sublimation and correction of some of the contents of the idle classmates..."

"What a sublimation correction!"

I once heard some rumors that most of the teachers in the editorial department have a university background, and sometimes deliberately reject the submitter's paper and hand it over to their own students as a project.

At that time, the high-end academic circle was too far away from leisure, and I didn't expect to encounter such a bad side within two months of graduation.

Wen Zhiyuan revealed a little news in his conscience, and Wu Qianshan had already organized a team to study the fossils of the Strange Pterodactyl.

The journal of Honolulu University was originally published once a month, but in order to catch up with the academic frontier, a special edition will be published in late July to publish Wu Qianshan's achievements.

Therefore, if you want to go to a regular journal, the process is definitely one to two months behind.

"Thank you, Professor Wen."

Things are one yard at a time, for Wen Zhiyuan, Yu Xian still has to express his gratitude.

From the graduation assessment of Xianghe College to today, Wen Zhiyuan has been providing help.

Although Yu Xian and the School of Paleontology of Sandalwood University had an unpleasant quarrel, he can't be blamed.

Current time, July 6.

Yu Xian dragged his suitcase and walked on the campus of Honolulu University.

Before going to the Lianchi Mountains, Yu Xian's plan was to stay at the University of Honolulu for a while, and Wen Zhiyuan also hoped to study with the fossil discoverers and arranged a place to live.

How do you know that suddenly a Wu Qianshan suddenly jumped out and stepped in, Yu Xian didn't want to stay in this school anymore.

The plan gradually took shape in his leisure heart, and since Wu Qianshan wanted to plunder the academic achievements of others, let them work in vain.

Press the dial button, and after ten or so seconds, the call is answered.

"Yu Xian?"

"Bai Mo, do you have a doorway related to a magazine or newspaper over there? Be a serious newspaper, don't be a playboy. ”

"Yes." Bai Mo quickly thought of Yu Xian's scholar disguise, "But... If you want to publish papers, it's best to go to a professional place, and the newspapers here are at most in the entertainment and social science sector, and they don't have any academic status. ”

"No, as long as it's a regular publication, a newspaper will do."

"Is it so casual? It's not good for you to brush up on academic results. ”

There is a saying in academic circles called "black journals", which means that journals that can be published with money without any self-cultivation are also called "negative journals".

Ordinary undergraduates are okay, if it is a graduate level, publishing papers in negative journals will not get extra points for resumes, but will be subject to academic denial.

In recent years, the official requirements have been strict, and negative journals are not published casually, but they still represent a low level.

"Don't worry about it so much, just arrange a weekly magazine for me, and just get involved in natural science."

"Yes."

"Oh, is there an institution for paleontology-related identification on the surface?"

"What are you thinking?" Bai Mo couldn't laugh and cry, "Only antiques are appraised." ”

Some of the Ming utensils poured out of the tombs can be washed white after several turnovers, and the six peerless households will use their own institutions to issue appraisal certificates and send them to regular auction houses to enhance their status in the industry.

"Can you measure carbon-14?"

Carbon-14 dating, which measures the radiocarbon content in an object to identify the year in which the corresponding item is located, is also commonly used in fossil identification.

"It's outrageous, do you think this measurement of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years old seems to be needed by cultural relics appraisal institutions? The Six Peerless Households dug up the stone axes of late Homo sapiens, right? ”

Speaking of which, Bai Mo said that at most he would find some collaborators similar to geological research, at least solve the problem of the source of the data test report in Yu Xian's future paper.

On the weekly side, if you want to cut the queue, you can arrange it in minutes, and you don't need to submit it in advance, as long as it doesn't touch the taboo of publishing, you can publish it.

No matter what, it's faster than the journal of the second half of the supplement of the University of Honolulu.

As soon as Wu Qianshan's paper was published, he found that his research direction lagged behind the "negative journal", and the reaction was particularly wonderful.
