Chapter 15: The Golden Autumn Camp and the Physics Decision

"Little thing, you put the paper here first, and I'll call you after the correction."

Xu Cheng smiled and put his glasses back on.

"By the way, which journal are you going to submit to for this paper?"

"Vote for Advances in Physics."

"In addition, this paper was instructed by you, teacher, so sign it and add your name."

Xu Chuan sighed for a while and said, he is really not familiar with domestic journals, and writing papers in his last life is already after he went to college.

However, as Xu Cheng said, domestic journals are uneven, and even the top journals have an impact factor, although the importance of this paper is not very high, it is also his hard work.

Therefore, if you can apply to top foreign journals, you should first apply to foreign journals.

As for the signature plus Xu Cheng's name, this is also an unspoken rule of the academic industry.

Moreover, for newcomers or students, if the teacher is famous, signing the teacher's name can give the newcomer's manuscript a certain preferential treatment in the review.

At the very least, it will give technical editors and review editors a second look instead of throwing it in the recycle bin.

Hearing this, Xu Cheng glanced at Xu Chuan with some surprise, shook his head and refused with a smile.

"No, you wrote this paper yourself, and I'm glad you think about it, but teaching is my job, and you're not my student."

Xu Cheng rejected Xu Chuan's kindness, and a paper, even the SCI of "Progress in Physics", was not a very rare thing for him.

But for Xu Chuan, an independently published paper is precious.

Being able to publish a paper independently in the third year of high school will be of great help to his future academic path, and he can't take advantage of this cheapness.

What's more, he didn't help much with this paper, and he didn't even have much academic discussion, at most he helped revise the format of the paper.

In addition, the two of them are not even in a teacher-student relationship, in this case, Xu Cheng is not so cheeky to add his name.

"How can this be done without your help from the teacher......."

Xu Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Xu Chuan's words again: "I said okay, let's go back to the training camp first, this year's IPHO, you winning the gold medal is the best reward for me." ”

......

After the paper is submitted, all that remains is to wait, waiting for the journal to give you feedback.

Although Progress in Physics is not the top journal, it can also be ranked among the top 15 in the world.

The review time of this kind of journal will be so long for ordinary scholars or for newcomers like Xu Chuan that they are submitting papers for the first time.

Not everyone is so lucky, and when you send your paper, there is a technical review editor who can see your paper.

Although the rules vary from journal to journal, most of them send feedback after the manuscript has been accepted, and the process can take anywhere from one day to two weeks.

This time is generally determined according to the contributor's reputation in the industry, and the greater the fame, the shorter the review time.

A little transparent like Xu Chuan, who has never heard of it, may be able to receive feedback in about a week if he is lucky, but if he is unlucky, he may have to wait for more than half a month or even a month.

Sometimes it's not an accident to be on the back of an idea, and it's not an accident to be reviewed and edited for two or three months.

So after the paper was submitted, Xu Chuan also returned to the days of the training camp, but by this time, the training camp of the competition was almost over.

After all, the domestic competition and the competition are held at different times, the competition is held in October every year, and the competition is held in December.

This also gives the opportunity to participate in both physical and mathematical competitions.

.......

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the time has come to early October, and the CPHO is about to begin, and students from all over the world who are participating in the national competition are also coming to Kyoto.

This year's National Competition was held at P University, and at the same time, the Golden Autumn Camp of P University was also held during this period.

There is actually a difference between the national competition, the golden autumn camp, and the winter camp, and these three are not the same thing.

The national competition is the final of the five major competitions of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information for middle school students in China, which is the so-called IMO and CPHO ......

After the provincial competition of each province, the students recommended by each province to participate in the competition, which is generally the top few in the provincial competition.

The Golden Autumn Camp refers to a series of enrollment and selection activities organized by Mizuki and P University after the National Day 11th, mainly for students competing in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Generally speaking, only competition students who have won the provincial award and above can participate in this selection activity.

Mizuki and P mostly have their own golden autumn camps, but the source of students is the same, and they are all excellent competition students.

Therefore, the two families have never dealt with each other very much, and they are fighting fiercely in the area of snatching the source of life.

So the Golden Autumn Camp and the National Competition have nothing to do with it.

It is just a means used by the two universities of Mizuki and P University to lock in and recruit students in advance.

As for the winter camp, it is linked to the national competition in mathematics.

The Winter Camp was first established in 1985 at the initiative of several famous universities in P University and Beiyang, and was later renamed the 9th District Mathematics Olympiad.

In other words, the current winter camp is actually the national competition of the National Mathematics Competition for Middle School Students.

The other four competitions are not linked to the winter camp, and their national competitions are held independently.

However, with the passage of time, there are also other competitions, such as the examination time of the biology national competition, which is directly set at the winter camp.

This saves time and effort.

As for this year, that is, the time when P Dajin held the national competition of physical competition was set together with the Golden Autumn Camp, and after the discussion of the Physics Society of the 9th District, the national competition of the physics competition was directly held in the Golden Autumn Camp of P University.

Otherwise, according to the situation that the Golden Autumn Camp and the National Competition were held separately in previous years, Xu Chuan will most likely give up the Golden Autumn Camp this year and only participate in the National Competition.

First, he participated in the Golden Autumn Camp of P University last year and won the first prize.

The second is that his university goal is not Mizuki and P University, and it doesn't mean much to him to participate in the Golden Autumn Camp of these two institutions.

Once reborn, his university choice will still be Sanjiang University, which he studied in his previous life.

Although Sanjiang University's mathematics school is average, not as big as Mizuki and P, Sanjiang University is his alma mater after all, and he studied in Sanjiang University and graduate school in his previous life, so there is no reason not to go in this life.

In addition, there is also a more critical point that domestic universities, even Mizuki and P University, actually can't teach him too much knowledge.

Not to mention physics, but mathematics, he himself can teach and lead doctoral students in these two universities, so it doesn't matter where he goes to university.

Those who can teach, the basic mathematics that he has not learned, Sanjiang University can also do, and there are only a few more advanced mathematics knowledge that can teach him, I am afraid there are only so few in the world.
