065 From the editor-in-chief
Being ready to attack the top SCI again, Ning Wei no longer broke into the crowd like the first time like the headless fly.
It has probably studied the influence of top journals with the highest natural factors, and there is no doubt that this letter is not suitable for nature.
If number theory can still be related to natural science, then this kind of algorithm is closer and more applicable, and "cell" is specifically aimed at life sciences, so "Science" is undoubtedly more suitable.
The only problem is probably that he really has no confidence in publishing "Science" this time.
After all, he just refuted the achievements of an American mathematician on nature, and Science happens to be an American journal.
Although he felt that the editors of these top journals would probably not be able to claim such revenge, it is normal that there are so many scholars who want to invest in top journals in each issue, not to post this article by himself.
Fortunately, Ning Wei has a good attitude, but it's just a letter anyway.
Even if you cannot publish it in such a comprehensive top publication, there are also JACM, IJCV, and AI to choose from.
Soon, Ning Wei filled in all the content step by step as required and clicked the submission button.
It is worth mentioning that when Ning Wei filled in the author, he considered it and brought the names of Yu Xingwei and the three graduate students.
After all, if someone works overtime every day, he still has to give the benefits he deserves.
It was just that before the paper was confirmed to be published, Ning Wei did not intend to tell them.
Next is a long wait.
But this time, Ning Wei obviously did not receive any preferential treatment. After a week, the status of the paper has not changed. It has always been manuscript with editor.
There is no way, if you want to vote for the top journal, it is inevitable to queue up.
Fortunately, he has had a lot of things recently, and it has passed in a flash. When he remembers it at night, when he enters to check it, he is sleepy before he can get upset.
The busy life also has surprise episodes.
For example, he received a call from Peking University, or a call from Academician Tian Yanzhen, a teacher from Lu Dongyi, who expressed that he would have two quotas for direct doctoral students next year. If Ning Wei was really interested in continuing his studies at Peking University Mathematics Institute, he could help him apply for a quota for direct doctoral students without examination.
This is thanks to the sponsorship of Lu Dongyi.
On the night when he broke up with Ning Wei, Lu Dongyi called Tian Yanzhen and said, "If Director Tian missed Ning Wei, he would definitely regret it in the future."
Faced with this invitation, Ning Wei refused.
It’s not that Ning changed his mind and did not want to go to Peking University for a direct career. He just wanted to take the national full-time unified postgraduate examination now.
After all, compared to writing papers, Ning Wei felt that his brain is more suitable for the postgraduate entrance examination now. He didn't want to go around the exam room and competed with the teacher who set the questions, which wasted his awakened brain.
In popular words on the Internet, I have to take the exam even if I can be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination. Alas, it’s nothing else, it’s just a play!
This level of thought can be said to be extremely high, after all, it gave up a position.
On the other hand, he still has the opportunity to study abroad. Whether he wants to use it or not, he still has to wait for the winter vacation to discuss with Lao Ning to show his respect for his own son.
Once a person feels that his strength supports his self-confidence, even if he still acts humble, his behavior begins to become haggard. Ning Wei obviously cannot avoid the vulgarity.
...
California, the city of Valencia in northern Los Angeles, USA.
This is one of the wealthy communities in Los Angeles. The transportation is extremely convenient. The light rail can directly reach Hollywood, Burbank, and downtown Los Angeles. It is only an hour's drive from LA International Airport.
Not only that, it also has the best education system in California. Elementary, junior and high schools here rank in the top 10%, and a few schools even rank in the top 1%.
It is similar to many other wealthy areas in the United States. It has scientific community planning, beautiful scenery, convenient life, and abundant police force. Apart from the high rent and high prices, there are basically no other disadvantages.
The editorial room of Science magazine is also located in this community.
George Robert, editor-in-chief of Science magazine, naturally lives in this super-large wealthy community.
...
Speaking of which, George Robert is still very satisfied with his job.
Since he obtained his Ph.D. at MIT, he has been working as AAAS and has taken on the position of former editor-in-chief six years ago until now.
Although journal operation is not an easy task, especially journals like Science, after all, they never ask for page fees like authors.
There are many academic journals similar to the closure of publication.
But his salary is very high, and the company provides good benefits. The pension is paid according to the upper limit stipulated by California, not to mention medical insurance, all of which are top-notch benefits.
So George also worked very hard.
Unlike Editor Handel of "Nature", George basically spent all his working hours on reviewing manuscripts except for attending meetings at the headquarters, so he rejected manuscripts very quickly.
Today, Ning Wei's article "Application of turbulence algorithm in network security" was finally refreshed in front of him.
Well, the paper submitted by Chinese people.
George Robert glanced roughly at the table of papers and then took his attention to the author's name.
NingWei?
Then he looked at the unit again.
Jiangcheng University.
George smiled and was very happy.
Speaking of which, why can he have a life that is quite satisfactory now? Is it because of his own efforts? Of course, there are factors in this regard.
But more importantly, "Science" can last forever in the fierce competition.
The reason for its long-lasting prosperity is the ranking of the influencing factors of "Science".
Science's direct competitor is Nature
So Mr. Smith, as an American mathematician, has gained heavyweight research results and did not consider Science or PNAS but published it on Nature. What does this mean?
Yes, George Robert has always wanted to find Smith to ask him this question in person. How does this American Academy of Sciences answer?
Forget it if you look down on "PNAS", why do you look down on "Science"?
Of course, George still has the demeanor of a scholar.
So this kind of energy can only be kept in my heart.
But when he saw the name NingWei, he was really happy.
Because it was this Chinese young man who directly pulled Smith's paper from the altar.
When he saw Ning Wei's paper published by "Nature", he also opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
Because Ning Wei's paper will be released for at most two or three months. When the academic community has finished arguing, it is estimated that Nature will directly publish Smith's paper.
This is a good guy, at least he can help him get angry.
So he opened Ning Wei's main text very seriously.
This article is really not an ordinary letter. It can be seen from the length. It has three pages and can be classified as a COMMUNICATION-like letter. It is very meaningful, and the article is well written and has a rigorous logic.
The concept of the turbulence algorithm itself is also clever. After all, not everyone can connect the fluid mechanics set with network security algorithms, and it can be said that the quality is very good.
George immediately forwarded the letter to the deputy editor-in-chief whom he trusted the most, and specifically marked the expedited.
But after forwarding, George thought about it again, feeling that this was not enough to pay attention to it, so he picked up the phone.
"Hey, Rosen, I just transferred a letter to it. This one happened to be my research field, so as one of the reviewers, you will find a non-editor reviewer right now and find someone who is relatively idle recently. I hope this letter can be published in the next issue and the next issue at the latest."
George was in a very happy mood when he hung up the phone.
When the publication was published, he wanted to ask someone to send a special issue of Ning Wei's article to Mr. Smith. I wonder what expression the mathematician would have on his face when he saw that Ning Wei's paper was published in Science.
I think it must be wonderful!
Well, George admits, he can't wait to see this happen!
By the way, he entered Ning Wei's name into the key keywords.
This cute Chinese child will be able to see this first time next time he publishes his paper.
Chapter completed!
