Chapter 83 What is your dream?
After carefully reviewing the entire paper, Boras Barry gave his own arbitration opinion.
After hearing the editor-in-chief’s approval opinion, the two editors no longer had any differences.
"Since Mr. Boras Barry said this, I have no objection. We are just an academic journal and cannot reproduce the author's experiments to verify his authenticity."
"That's true, but this paper comes from Wang Xiangwu's laboratory at Huaxia Jida. They have also published papers on PRL before, and they will definitely cherish their feathers. As for what you said, IPhO is just a game
That’s it, then why can’t the American players win the championship, or even make it into the top five? Is it because they don’t play this game seriously?”
Hearing Boras Barry's words, the editor lowered his head and did not answer.
"Okay, you can continue to work. I will handle the review comments of this paper. Of course, there must be necessary doubts. We must always maintain a serious review attitude and cannot be relaxed at all.
.If you have any questions, please report it to me as soon as possible and let me make the decision."
"Got it, Mr. Boras Barry."
After that, Boras Barry carefully reviewed the paper again, annotated some areas that he felt needed to be revised, and gave his own review opinions.
After completing this series of work, Boras Barry responded to the email address where this paper was sent.
…
Because of the time difference, Wang Xiangwu did not see this reply email immediately.
After waking up in the morning, Wang Xiangwu turned on his phone as usual to check if there was any important information.
There were several messages on Wang Xiangwu's WeChat, but they were not too important, so Wang Xiangwu was not in a hurry to reply.
After reading WeChat, Wang Xiangwu opened his work email again.
In his work mailbox, Wang Xiangwu does not receive emails very frequently, but they are often important emails.
After opening his work email, Wang Xiangwu actually saw a new unread email.
"Huh? This is..."
After seeing the sender of the email, Wang Xiangwu suddenly became energetic.
"Has PRL finally given a reply?"
Wang Xiangwu knew that the paper submitted by Xu You would finally have the review results.
After seeing this email, Wang Xiangwu felt a little nervous.
In fact, when Wang Xiangwu suggested that Xu You vote for PRL, Wang Xiangwu himself was a little unsure.
Although there is nothing wrong with the content of the paper, after all, Xu You’s qualifications are too young, which will inevitably make people doubtful.
In the author introduction, Xu You can only add the honors from various competitions, as well as the third author of Zhao Weijia's SCI article.
Compared with those scientific researchers with rich resumes, their resumes are really too pale.
"It actually...really passed?"
After seeing the content in the email, Wang Xiangwu confirmed this fact.
Although there are still long review comments in the email, it means that there are still many places that need to be revised in this paper.
But this is also a very normal thing during the paper submission process.
What's more, this is PRL, the top journal in the physics world.
PRL's review process is strict and well-known in the industry.
Although many of those who have the courage to submit papers to PRL are big names in the physics community.
Even so, the acceptance rate of papers reviewed by PRL is only about 20%.
Xu You, a freshman who was doing scientific research for the first time and writing a paper for the first time, was able to pass the review for the first time he submitted to PRL. It is a very incredible thing no matter how you say it.
Even more shocking than getting first place with perfect score in IPhO.
After calming down, Wang Xiangwu quickly informed Xu You of the news that the paper had been drafted.
At this time, Xu You had been up and studying for almost an hour.
Seeing the message from Wang Xiangwu, Xu You was also very happy.
The passing of the paper means that Xu You has successfully entered the scientific research circle and become a real scientific researcher.
Of course, Xu You didn't tell his roommates about this.
Xu You knows that the joys and sorrows between people are not the same.
If you tell them directly, not only will they not necessarily be happy for you, but they may feel that you are showing off.
"Okay, teacher. I have classes in the morning, and I will go to the laboratory after lunch."
Because the paper still needs to be revised, Wang Xiangwu sent a message asking Xu You to have time to come to the laboratory and explain these revisions in detail in person.
After lunch, Xu You came to Wang Xiangwu's laboratory.
When Zhao Weijia saw Xu You coming over, he hugged Xu You's shoulders with excitement.
"Junior brother, you are so awesome this time! That is PRL! I have never dared to submit for so many years. Many Nobel laureates will submit to this journal, and now you are on par with them!
Senior brother, you must help me realize my previous dream!"
"Senior brother...what is your dream?"
"I'm afraid you'll laugh when I say it. When I was your age, my dream was to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Of course, I was just young and frivolous at the time, and I didn't know how high the sky was. But when you were 18, you could be published in PRL and win a
The Nobel Prize is also something I hope a lot for!"
"Brother, are you thirty this year?" Xu You suddenly asked.
"No, I'm only 28 this year. Why, do I look old?"
Xu You was also a little surprised when he heard this age. In fact, thirty years old is considered a underestimate.
"No, no, what I mean is, senior brother, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Some people can still win the Nobel Prize at the age of 96, so you don't have to place your hopes on me."
"Come on, I still know what my level is. If I can have a stable job and marry a wife in the future, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."
At this time, Wang Xiangwu also came to the laboratory.
"Here you go, Xu You. Sit down and let me tell you about the revision of the paper."
Wang Xiangwu was still very excited, but he didn't go out of his way to praise Xu You.
Such a child no longer needs Wang Xiangwu to deliberately praise him, he just needs to try his best to help Xu You grow up.
After the two sat down, Wang Xiangwu showed Xu You the review comments from PRL.
"Teacher, does this paper of mine still have many questions?"
The first time he received review comments from a journal editor, Xu You didn't know what kind of concept it was.
"It's not too much. Normally, for every approved paper, the editor will give a lot of comments for the author to revise. Some of them may be problems with the paper itself, and some may be because the journal has its own set of requirements. This is normal.
. There are very few things that need to be revised in this paper of yours."
Chapter completed!
