Into Unscientific

  Chapter 85 Paper Publication

  Gu Qunqing's 'interview' process was quite smooth. In just a few hours, Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing reached a preliminary agreement.

Of course.

  Whether this intention can be transformed into the final COO position will take a certain amount of time.

   Firstly, Gu Qunqing's non-compete agreement has not expired completely, and secondly, there must be a more reliable release of results, so as to dispel Gu Qunqing's last worry.

  The most intuitive thing about this result is.

paper.

   Right now.

   After washing, Xu Yun sat on a chair, and on the computer screen in front of him was a paper that had been written for the most part:

   "Research on the specific interaction mechanism of common pheromone binding proteins with **** pheromones and imidacloprid".

"The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 20:1) to obtain a colorless oily liquid (3Z, 6Z, 9S, 10R)-9,10-epoxy-3,6-hexanocarbon Diene (0.12 g, 85% yield)."

"[α] D20=+1.52(c2.37, CHCl3); 1HNMR (500MHz, CDCl3) δ: 5.52～5.29(m, 4H), 2.95～2.91(m, 2H), 2.80(t, J=7.1Hz , 2H), 2.39(dq, J=13.3, 6.6Hz, 1H), 2.23～2.20(m, 1H), 2.09～2.04(m, 2H), 1.55～1.26(m, 20H), 0.97(t, J =7.5Hz, 3H), 0.88(t, J=6.9Hz, 3H)”

  What Tian Liangwei said before was indeed not bragging. On the second day after Xu Yun and Gu Qunqing parted, a letter from the other side of the ocean was sent to Xu Yun's personal mailbox.

  The beginning of this letter is not a "Hello, I am a netizen from the north of the mainland", but a rather formal paper invitation letter.

  From the famous "NUCLEICACIDSRES".

  The Chinese name of "NUCLEICACIDSRES" is "Nucleic Acid Research", which was founded by Oxford University in 1974.

   Don't look at the word nucleic acid in its name, in fact its collection field is very wide.

  Related achievements in chemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, and molecular biology can all be published on it. The current impact factor has reached 13.8, which is a proper journal in the first district.

  This magazine will be referred to as NAR most of the time. If it is not easy to remember, you can start from the perspective of NTR:

  The T in the middle is changed to A by NTR, which becomes NAR.

  The tone of this letter of invitation from NAR is very polite, almost like we sincerely invite you to publish the paper, which makes people look very comfortable.

   But polite words are polite words, even if it is a solicited paper for a core journal, it cannot avoid the preliminary review.

   At most, the speed of external audit will be faster.

  Xu Yun started to prepare the thesis manuscript as early as the day when the fifth-generation imidacloprid was successfully developed.

  So when I received NAR's letter of appointment, the thesis had almost reached the final stage of finishing.

   Several hours later.

  Xu Yun finished the English translation of the last paragraph, and let out a long breath.

   Full 223 pages of content, 6.43mb in size.

  Even though most of them are data reports that have been compiled by the laboratory, the whole process still took a lot of Xu Yun's effort.

   Then he packaged the paper and added it as an attachment, and sent it to Tian Liangwei's mailbox.

  Although Xu Yun is already familiar with the format of the thesis, this kind of process still needs to be followed. At the very least, he has to ask his tutor to check it carefully, right?

  The time now is approaching seven o'clock in the evening. Originally, Xu Yun thought that he would get a reply from Tian Liangwei tomorrow at the earliest, but unexpectedly, his WeChat voice rang an hour later.

  The person who came was Tian Liangwei.

  Xu Yun quickly clicked on the call button:

"teacher?"

   "Well, it's me."

  Tian Liangwei’s voice came slowly from the microphone, and from the faintly heard children playing in the background, it can be judged that his teacher is probably watching TV in his living room at this time:

   "Xiao Xu, I just read your paper, and there is nothing wrong with it on the whole, and the plagiarism rate of 1.2% is also fully in line with the requirements, but what is the first paper you cited in References?"

  Xu Yun scratched his hair, he laughed and said:

   "Doesn't this increase the number of citations for your paper by the way, and part of the inspiration for the specific receptor protein is indeed from your paper, so it's not a good thing to avoid relatives."

   "You, you always like to come up with new tricks for me."

  Tian Liangwei's semantics seemed to be a bit blameful, but it could be heard from the tone that this academician was in a very good mood at the moment.

   Tian Liangwei is now a top 5 biological authority in China, and the number of citations of a paper is basically irrelevant, let alone flattery or bribery.

   But this kind of behavior was done by his own students, which is undoubtedly quite heartwarming. Then he paused and continued:

   "Xiao Xu, this paper is written in a very standardized manner. I have no other comments. You can proofread the other details again. If there are no problems, please send it as soon as possible.

  I have already contacted NAR, and the person in charge of the external review is an Iberian biomedical expert named MortenL.Grobe. "

  Xu Yun frowned when he heard the words:

   "MortenL.Grobe? The one who won the Lasker Award?"

"Well, it's him. It can be said that he is one of the international authorities on synthetic biology. If he is the external reviewer, the gold content of the paper should be higher after passing the review, but also, the threshold for reviewing will also be raised. Can you Convincing him depends on the quality of your paper."

  The Lasker Award, the full name is the Albert Lasker Medical Research Award, and it is also an award second only to the Nobel Prize in the medical field.

  This award is also known as the Nobel Prize reserve. If you don’t have extraordinary abilities and achievements, let alone win the award, you will have no chance of being nominated for gold plating.

   To invite such a Lasker Award winner to be an external reviewer of a doctoral thesis like Xu Yun, Tian Liangwei's human favor may not be too small.

  Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help sighing.

  Silently kept this matter in mind, and briefly chatted with Tian Liangwei for a while, then hung up the phone.

   Then he returned to the computer again, proofread the paper again, and sent the text and extended data through the submission system.

  Students who have published papers should know it.

  Generally, it takes a long time for a paper to go through from submission to publication.

  After you upload the file in the submission system, if Accept appears, it means that the first step is completed.

  After the article is accepted, the journal will contact the author to proofread the manuscript, which is the Proof stage. I don’t know how many people in the local area are tortured to death by this. It is normal for some unlucky people to even stagnate in this link for half a year.

   After Proof is over, it usually comes to Payment. From the three letters of pay, it can be seen that this is a link of paying page fees.

  After you pay for the ticket, the last is the publication link, also called online.

  The entire submission process is simple and simple, but also complicated.

  Xu Yun's thesis was submitted through the channel attached to the manuscript invitation letter, so the word 'accepted' appeared in the system very soon. If there is no accident, it will enter the proof stage within two or three days.

   Then Xu Yun stretched a little leisurely, and was about to play two games of Four Kingdoms Army Chess.

  However, at this moment, a notification tone suddenly came from the mobile phone nearby.

  Xu Yun opened it and found that it was a WeChat friend request:

  Keep it mysterious: Swipe through Weibo, buy a movie.

  Keep it mysterious: Hello, I am Lin Zhennan, a reporter from the Propaganda Department of the University of Science and Technology. Can I pretend not to see the above article?

   Originally, I planned to release an update today, but I was notified that I have to do the accounting, and I don’t know how long it will take.
