Thorn preparation...
"Nature" magazine headquarters, "Nature-Physics" editorial department.
The early morning sunlight hit the computer screen from the window, reflecting a somewhat dazzling white light that shone on Campbell's face.
That wrinkled face is obviously much older than it was two years ago.
Campbell sighed sadly, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and turned on the computer habitually.
Two years ago, he would not have been so diligent at all.
When I come to the office every morning, I first make a cup of coffee, read some magazine news, relax, and then get back to work.
It's different now.
In the past two years, he has served as the most ordinary review editor. It would not matter if it were anyone else, but he was once a higher-level editor of "Nature Physics", and his mentality is completely different.
So he is busy working every day, hoping to get promoted again based on his performance.
Last month, he succeeded.
Magdalena Skipper was satisfied with his performance and returned him to his original position.
The editor-in-chief of "Nature Physics" has only Magdalena Skipper, the editor-in-chief of "Nature", who is one level above her. She can be considered as the person in charge of "Nature Physics".
Although he successfully returned to his original position, Campbell did not dare to relax at all. He learned the lesson from the last time and kept "Donald Cordini" in his heart.
"This despicable old woman!" Campbell couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of Cordini's name, but did he have any good ideas, because Donald Cordini had retired.
The recent news related to Donald Cordini is that he found a forty-year-old boyfriend after his retirement, and even went shopping hand in hand in the mall intimately.
Campbell felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about it.
He is still working hard every day in order to earn a salary to support his family, while his 'enemy' Cordini retired safely and found a young and strong boyfriend.
"hateful……"
"If I were in New York, ahem..."
Campbell clenched his fists hard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the time, quickly gathered his thoughts, and checked the manuscript in his mailbox.
The first copy was not interesting, so I sent it back directly.
Second part, what is it? Isn’t it possible for a comet to hit the earth and wipe out the dinosaurs?
third……
Campbell read several articles in a row and felt a little dizzy when he saw a "big headline".
"Strong annihilation power?"
He read the introduction with confusion, and then noticed the author's name.
The reason he didn't notice it at first was because he saw two unfamiliar names, Helen Hinton and Chen Mengmeng.
After downloading the paper, he noticed the corresponding author - Wang Hao?
Campbell stood up smartly, and then he knew that he did not need to review it, so he immediately approved it and marked the sentence "Wang Hao, publish directly".
After confirming that the paper would be published directly, Campbell breathed a sigh of relief and patiently read the contents of the paper.
I was really patient this time, and it lasted all morning.
Although it was not a word-for-word review, I also browsed the content of the main body and realized that the main argument was the impact of strong annihilation force on particles, and I came to an important conclusion--
Continuous strong annihilation force will make the structure of particles more stable and cause the properties of particles to weaken.
"This conclusion..."
Campbell felt a little confused, so he went back to the end and looked again, and suddenly thought of the controversy in the international physics community about the existence of dark matter.
Suddenly, he understood.
Campbell realized that the problem was a bit big, so he immediately called Magdalena Skipper and explained the paper Wang Hao had submitted and the problems with the content.
"That is another explanation for dark matter, which makes up for the lack of explanation in the field of astronomy and physics when dark matter does not exist."
"But it will definitely cause controversy. Now whether dark matter exists is an international academic issue."
"More scholars believe in Parsons' theory. If this study is released, it's unclear whether it will have any impact..."
After hearing this, Magdalena Skipper didn't care at all. Instead, she said with great interest, "Just follow the next issue."
"No, put it directly on the website, publish it online in advance, and publish it publicly and free of charge, and hang it on the homepage!"
"Campbell, you have to know that we are just an academic journal. Our job is to publish scholars' papers. Many scholars will be interested in Wang Hao's latest research."
"This is enough!"
"Our job is to let more scholars see the papers they are interested in. As for whether it will cause controversy..."
"If there is, that's the best."
Now Campbell understood.
He does think a bit complicatedly. They just publish papers. As for the internal disputes in the annihilation theory, what does it have to do with them?
The most important thing is that Wang Hao decided to publish the paper in "Nature" magazine instead of "Science" magazine.
This opportunity must be seized.
…
"Nature" magazine uses actions to explain what "publication speed" means.
Wang Hao submitted the article two days ago. Only two days later, the paper appeared on the large-screen news on the main website of Nature magazine. The background picture of the news was a mysterious mathematical symbol, with a sentence below -
—
"Wang Hao's latest achievement!"
Below that is a subtitle, ""Strong Annihilation Force"."
After clicking on the news page, I saw a simple explanation of the research on ‘Strong Annihilation Force’, with a free download link.
The approach of Nature magazine truly shows their sincerity. They have not reviewed it, and just like publishing news, they directly hang the paper on the main website, so that everyone can directly download and watch it.
Those who do not subscribe to Nature magazine can also download and watch it for free.
This will allow the paper to be seen by more people.
Wang Hao was shocked by the speed and method of publication. He received a lot of special treatment, but this time it was still very different.
"Didn't you say that "Nature Physics" needs to be reviewed?"
He felt a little confused, "I remember that when I submitted my manuscript two years ago, I was told that it definitely needed peer review..."
Helen first saw the news about the paper. She was also very surprised, but also a little depressed, "My and Meng Meng's names were not on the news picture at all."
"Yes, we were originally a team."
"In the end, only Teacher Wang..."
The two female students looked at Wang Hao sadly.
Wang Hao could only laugh, "There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, next time I submit an article, I'll emphasize it to them?"
"next time?"
"Where can there be a next time..."
"Maybe, but I'll have graduated by then."
"..."
The papers posted on the homepage of the official website of Nature magazine will definitely attract the attention of many scholars.
At the beginning, everyone only noticed that Wang Hao published the paper. Later, they discovered that the authors were Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and Wang Hao was the corresponding author.
The corresponding author is very important, sometimes even more important than the first author.
This is mainly because the corresponding author often means the project recipient, the research group leader or the mentor.
Wang Hao is the mentor of Helen and Chen Mengmeng, and he guided the students to complete the research together.
The author of the research is only one aspect, what is more important is the content of the paper.
In fact, in the academic field, 'strong annihilation force' is not attractive. It feels like it exceeds the speed of light and is just a conceptual issue.
