Chapter 735: Co-signed

"Remember to show it to me as soon as the model is finished."

In the office, after hearing the tutor's request, Xu Xiao pursed his lips and hesitated before speaking.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, I can't make the decision."

Hearing this, Elvis was stunned for a moment, looked at the student in surprise, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Compared to keeping this student and taking advantage of her brother, the thesis in front of her may be more important.

He is well aware of the impact of tackling 'vertigo' on the development of VR devices and virtual reality technology.

It is no exaggeration to say that vertigo is the core, or at least one of the cores, among the various problems of VR equipment and various virtual technologies.

If this paper can be completed in Xu Xiao's hands, even if he does not contribute much to it, there is no doubt that the academic community will still press on his head for this credit.

After all, he was a mentor, and he also came up with the theory of opinions.

Taking a deep breath and plucking up the courage to meet the tutor's gaze head-on, Xu Xiao spoke: "The theoretical part of the paper is separate from the mathematical model part, and the neural signal simulation and electrical signal conversion model established based on quantum theory are outsourced to another company in a 'cooperative' way. ”

"When the mathematical model is written, they will provide me with experimental data through simulation experiments to complete the final paper."

"I'm sorry to handle it this way, but the math and modeling part of the paper was too difficult for me."

Professor Elvis looked at the student in front of him in surprise, frowned and asked, "Cooperation?" Outsourcing? What is the meaning? Don't you even ask for my opinion and opinion on the way of disposing of this kind of paper? ”

Frowning, Elvis looked at the student in front of him with a somewhat cold look.

Something seems wrong with this?

In this theoretical paper on neural signal simulation and electrical signal conversion based on quantum theory, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most important thing is the mathematical mechanism and model that has been established in a targeted manner.

If these two parts are taken away, the value will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

If it were any other student, he would probably have slapped the table and started cursing.

This kind of thing that takes out the core part of the thesis and doesn't discuss it with the tutor, do you still want to graduate?

But in the face of the student in front of him, he still patiently forced himself to calm down and ask again to confirm what the situation was.

After all, the person standing behind her, especially when the other party is more 'grudgeful', it is better not to offend if it is not necessary.

At the beginning, South Korea offended him twice, and both times he was tossed and suffered huge losses, and publicly apologized.

Xu Xiao took a deep breath, looked at his mentor and said, "I'm sorry, this is not my idea. It was my brother's explicit request. If he helps with the construction of mathematical mechanisms and models, he asks me to separate the theoretical and mathematical parts of the thesis."

Hearing this, Professor Elvis immediately fell silent.

Clearly, Professor Xu also noticed the heart of the paper.

He has the ability to do such a job, and theoretically he is qualified to take away the math part.

In other words, he is fully capable of taking the signature of the paper if he asks for it.

The corresponding author's request may be a bit unreasonable, but as a scholar who has made substantial and greatest contributions to R&D and papers, there is no problem in occupying the name of a work.

But nominally, isn't this his project?

Well, it's a research project of his students, but isn't it also a student that he leads?

According to the traditional unspoken rules of academia, whether a student's paper is a corresponding author or a work, it is basically the supervisor's.

Of course, the signature of the paper has nothing to do with what he is silent about today, and it is purely because he feels that what 'should' belong to him has been taken away by outsiders.

In the office, Xu Xiao continued: "Regarding the paper, except for the copyright of the mathematics part, he did not ask for the rest of the part. ”

"If you wish, you can take away the corresponding author and the first work of the paper after guiding me through the thesis and research."

Hearing this, Professor Elvis was stunned for a moment.

Xu Xiao's words reminded him.

In fact, for the academic community, the student's research project, or graduation thesis, is linked to the school.

Because according to the traditional way of academia, the average student's graduation thesis will sign a copyright agreement, and the copyright belongs to the school.

In most cases, if you want to graduate, you have to sign a declaration of authorization to transfer the rights of authorship to the school.

Therefore, the copyright of the student's graduation thesis is generally in the hands of the school, rather than the student himself or the supervisor.

In this case, no matter what the school does with your paper, as long as it does not damage your reputation and does not forget to give you a signature, you will not be able to stop it.

In this regard, not only is the school restricted, but even the research data used in the original unit after your supervisor changes jobs, let alone the students.

And there are students who are qualified to negotiate with the school about copyright allocation, but they are very rare, and it can even be said that there are only a handful.

But obviously, in the face of Cambridge University, a professor at the Institute of Life Sciences, even if he is the deputy director of the Institute, he is not qualified to negotiate with the school about the distribution of copyright.

But he didn't, that man did.

If he had asked for it, he would probably not have been embarrassed by his sister's graduation thesis if he wanted to come to Cambridge University.

In other words, what he felt unhappy and angry at first actually had nothing to do with him.

After all, the copyright belongs to the copyright, and the signature belongs to the signature, and if he wants, the corresponding author and a work, he can still get his hands on it.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Elvis looked up and asked, "Are you sure you're going to finish this job?" ”

After a slight pause, he added: "I mean using this thesis theory to solve the problem of vertigo caused by VR equipment and virtual reality technology, not to complete graduation." ”

I heard that when she was a master's student, she advocated the research and development of biochip technology and virtual reality technology.

Although he didn't know the progress, he knew that the student seemed to have a company in the field of virtual reality under his name.

Maybe it was founded with the support of her brother? Or maybe it's her own interest.

But in any case, he is indeed a student who is researching virtual reality technology, and has made some achievements before, and it seems that he only went abroad to study after encountering problems later.

If you take into account her background, it is not possible to say that this cutting-edge field of research will really have a certain breakthrough.

In the office, Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Professor Elvis to ask like this.

After thinking for a while, she replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure, but I guess you know better than I know how difficult the vertigo caused by VR and virtual technology is. ”

"I'm afraid this level of question is not something I can answer right now."

Although there is a theoretical paper that may solve the problem of vertigo, it is only possible.

After all, a paper is just a paper after all, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult to turn it into an actual technology.

Relieving the stuffiness in his chest, Professor Elvis said, "In that case, I will not ask for research on the problem of vertigo. ”

"Still."

After a pause, he looked at Xu Xiao and continued, "But I have a request. ”

Xu Xiao looked at his mentor and waited for his follow-up request.

Elvis smiled and said, "Regarding your graduation thesis, after completion, the corresponding author will belong to me. I'm co-signed with your brother. ”

"After all, the key part of this paper is that your brother completes it, and he deserves the status of the previous work."

"Huh?"

Hearing Professor Elvis's words, Xu Xiao was directly stunned, and looked at the tutor behind the desk in surprise.

She was prepared for what the professor would ask too much, but she didn't expect that?

Not only did he not ask for anything, but he shared a work?

What does this mean? It really made her a little confused.

Elvis didn't care too much about Xu Xiao's circle, he smiled and said, "Go and ask him what he thinks, if he agrees, I will try my best to guide you to complete the thesis." ”

"Even, including the negotiation of the ownership of the copyright on the school's side, I can also help you talk about it."

Although I was surprised by the professor's choice, the current situation is indeed a good result.

"Okay, Professor, I'll ask."

"Go ahead."

Elvis waved his hand, leaned back in his office chair, and said in a casual tone.

Although assigning the co-authorship of a work to that person will undoubtedly reduce the perception of his contribution to the paper.

But again, if that person accepts a work, it will undoubtedly mean a research collaboration between the two.

While selling personal favors to him, he can also improve his academic status to a certain extent, after all, in the academic world, not everyone has the opportunity to engage in research work with that Professor Xu, so why not do it.

Anyway, what he lost was only the authorship of the work, and the corresponding author was in his hands, which means that he was the one who was responsible for the overall responsibility for this academic paper and this research.

In the academic world, at least in the international academic community, the corresponding author has a greater gold content than a work.

Getting the corresponding author and the co-signature of a work may be better for his future career evaluation and development.

has been in the academic world for so many years, and he has long figured out most of the unspoken rules.

Sometimes, it's even better to share a work with him than to pocket it himself.

And, even if he doesn't want to?

Strictly speaking, the copyright of the paper has nothing to do with him, it belongs to the school.

Rather than offending a bull scholar who can't be offended, it's better to push the boat down the river and do a personal favor.

At the same time, the other side.

Coming out of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Xu Chuan did not go to the network technology company.

The work related to modeling itself is very heavy, and he will undoubtedly put pressure on his senior sister if he goes over.

With her character, if he mentioned this, he would probably have to work overtime again.

Slow down, slow down, anyway, lithium-sulfur batteries have only been on the market for a long time, and it will always take a few years to complete the market digestion.

If he really wants to get the lithium-air battery out at this point, isn't that hitting himself?

Sitting in Zheng Hai's car, Xu Chuan just returned to the Xinghai Research Institute when the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

The phone was called by Xu Xiao, and after being connected with a smile, the voice with excited cheers was transmitted.

"Dude! It's amazing that Professor Elvis actually agreed to your request! ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This itself has nothing to do with him, and it is normal to agree." ”

Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Huh?" Never mind? How does it matter anymore? ”

Xu Chuan smiled and simply told her about the rules of paper authorship and academic copyright.

"I see, no wonder Professor Elvis would agree." Xu Xiao suddenly realized, nodded and said.

"Just solve it, come on."

smiled, Xu Chuan didn't say much, and encouraged him.

Although under normal circumstances, the copyright of a student's graduation thesis has nothing to do with the supervisor, but can you try to say this to someone else? It's a good thing that the mentor doesn't give you a bloody scolding.

"By the way, man, there's one more thing."

After chatting for a while, Xu Xiao remembered his mentor's request, and hurriedly said, "That, Professor Elvis told me that he wants to co-sign a work with you." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked with some surprise: "Want to co-sign with me?" ”

"Yes, I don't know what kind of wind the professor smoked him, but when he made this kind of thing, he actually shared it." Xu Xiao said strangely.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is not a convulsion, on the contrary, your professor can really see it clearly, and he is quite smart, although he is a little clever in the middle." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Xiao was stunned again, a little unintelligible.

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, tell your mentor, I just agree, it's not a big deal anyway." ”

He had planned to use the authorship of the paper to make a deal with Professor Elvis.

After all, Xu Xiao is her student, and she still has to go through his hands to graduate.

Unexpectedly, Professor Elvis gave another plan, a co-signed paper.

Although on the bright side, sharing a work is to reduce his own status and importance in the paper, and to share the credit of the paper and research.

But this sharing, to a certain extent, is also relative.

Xu Xiao's tutor is quite smart, knowing that even if he takes all of it, he may not have the ability to expand the influence of this paper, so it is better to share the work and put his name on it.

In this way, the importance of this paper will definitely be greater than if he took away the corresponding author and the first work alone.

After all, sometimes, a name can change the importance of a paper.
