Xilin City, Science Building, Xilin University of Technology.

Qiao Ze was sitting in Li Jiangao's office, reading the paper that he had worked on with Uncle Li again.

Originally, he was studying with Su Mucheng in the library in the afternoon.

As a result, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Mucheng was distracted by the news on WeChat after hanging up a phone call......

said that a friend was coming, and she had to go to receive it, so she reluctantly left first.

Qiao Ze was in library management alone, and suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do, so he sent a WeChat message to Li Jiangao, and then he was invited to come over and revise the paper together.

How so......

After using the standard format, it was much more organized.

But it also seems to be a lot more verbose.

Many things that he thought were obvious at a glance were added to many processes under Li Jiangao's step-by-step persuasion.

According to Uncle Li, the bigwigs who review papers are generally not young. The brain doesn't turn as fast as young people, so writing down the process in detail can speed up the review process.

José accepted this explanation and took the initiative to add some new pictures, because he was already vaguely aware that not everyone has a strong spatial imagination.

After one operation, the original eight-page paper was directly expanded to 17 pages.

However, the general structure has not changed.

This afternoon also allowed Li Jiangao to see Qiao Ze's efficiency with his own eyes.

He only completed a process in the morning, with almost no rest in between, except for pouring a glass of water and raising his waist, almost all of his time was spent on checking information, drawing pictures, and completing the process of proof.

But after Qiao Ze came, he listened to his explanation, divided five by two, and in less than three hours, he made up all the places that he thought were too ruthless to omit, and added the pictures used in the proof process, all in one go.

This also made Li Jiangao completely recognize the gap between himself and Qiao Ze, which is probably as big as a genius and a mentally retarded......

Very gratifying.

At least it didn't fall to the point where you had to compete with the dog's IQ.

Thinking of being a college student, he was also a genius in the minds of his classmates, Li Jiangao felt ashamed.

Sure enough, people still have to be humble, God knows where there is a person who is against the sky?

Of course, the young people in front of you should not be modest, not under any circumstances.

Because Li Jiangao couldn't think of how perverted it would be if someone could have a higher IQ than Qiao Ze!

"Whew...... And that's it. José, what do you think about the essay and where do you want to vote? ”

After cleaning up some complicated mental continuations, Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze and asked calmly.

Qiao Ze shook his head and replied, "I don't know. ”

He really didn't know.

Qiao Ze has never studied journals seriously, he looks at papers randomly, what he searches, what he pays attention to, how can he care about where those broken articles are published?

Li Jiangao let out a sigh.

Fortunately, there is something this guy doesn't understand.

If he understood this, he would have wanted to give up this office to Qiao Ze.

"Well, let's put it this way, there are four top journals in the mathematics community that are internationally recognized, and this article does not say that they have reached the top level of these four top journals, but at least they are above the average. But it is not safe to invest in these four companies rashly. ”

When Li Jiangao said this, he slowed down his speech, because he was a little inferior.

If he had made more academic achievements in the field of mathematics and became more famous, he would not have been so embarrassed at this time.

After a while, he still decided to tell the truth: "To put it bluntly, I don't have the ability to help you vote for these four." Let's put it this way, it is difficult for ordinary scholars to pay attention to these four contributions, and I don't know how long it will take to get feedback. But if you really want to vote for these four, I can help you introduce a mentor and ask him to recommend it to you, but generally the corresponding author should hang his name. ”

Qiao Ze immediately shook his head and said: "No, the corresponding author is you, and the first work is me, although this paper is very ordinary, only the names of the two of us can appear." As for what journal to apply for, you can do it. ”

Li Jiangao was stunned, and immediately said: "No, Qiao Ze, you may not understand the status of the corresponding author......

"I understand this, the first person in every paper is the corresponding author." Qiao Ze nodded, and then said calmly, "But does it matter?" I can write a lot of papers like this, just think about it, and I can write many, many more. In the future, when I am famous, I will be the corresponding author. ”

Li Jiangao wanted to cry again.

It's not just because it's moving.

It's the second half of Qiao Ze's sentence.

The degree of innovation and academic level can reach the standards of the four top journals, and he can write one or two papers in his life, and Li Jiangao is already satisfied.

Qiao Ze can write a lot, a lot, which professor can not break the defense after listening to it?

And there's no way to argue with that.

The first draft of this paper took only eight hours.

Although it took a day to revise, most of the day was because he was studying.

If Qiao Ze had been called earlier, it would probably only have been enough for half a day.

So Li Jiangao was silent, and only after a few minutes did he smile and say to Qiao Ze: "Okay, hey...... It's not too early, so why don't you go back to your dorm first. ”

"Okay, Uncle Li, goodbye."

Qiao Ze naturally stood up and walked out of the office.

Just looking at the plain expression, you can know that he really doesn't have any expectations and curiosity about where this paper will be posted.

Even with Li Jiangao, he felt bored.

This is probably the temperament of the future boss, right?

It's just a top paper...... It's a hammer!

After seeing Qiao Ze leave, Li Jiangao began to silently prepare for the paper delivery work.

It's a familiar thing for him.

In fact, he really doesn't have the face to be the corresponding author, but he is very helpless, the world is so realistic that if he publishes a paper in Qiao Ze's name, the other party will definitely not pay attention to it.

Unless the water is ......

But even if this paper can't be voted for the big four international ones, it must at least be an international core, and an impact factor lower than 5.0 is not considered.

After all, a bad journal can't even find a high-level reviewer, and that's a good manuscript.

In the end, Li Jiangao chose the journal sponsored by the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences - Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Communications.

This is actually the top journal in the mathematics world, but it is not as well-known as the four top journals.

However, the quality of the manuscript and even the impact factor ranking are not smaller than those of the four top mathematics journals.

Moreover, its selection criteria also place more emphasis on originality and breakthrough achievements in the field of mathematics.

José's manuscript was certainly up to par.

But when Li Jiangao opened the submission system and began to edit the corresponding author, he hesitated.

Eventually, he put himself and José under the name of the corresponding author.

A paper, with two corresponding authors, is actually not a big problem.

This will give him a little more peace of mind.

Of course, the first work still retains only Joze's name.

Paper Type, Research Content, Title, Abstract, Keywords......

When he finally uploaded his paper, Li Jiangao hesitated.

The paper didn't have any citations, which made him a little apprehensive. I was still thinking about whether I should persuade Qiao Ze to add some casually, but thinking of the child's attitude, I better forget it......

Finally, the copyright transfer agreement is signed.

Half an hour later, everything was done, Li Jiangao also sighed, and unconsciously brought his own into Qiao Ze, thinking jokingly: "Editors of the journal "Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Newsletter", I advise you to have a good point in your heart. ”

Really, when Li Jiangao tried to look at the world from Qiao Ze's perspective, he only felt - it was really interesting!
