While everyone's attention in the academic world is focused on news related to the "Discovery" journal, on the other side, there is Beijing.
Academicians Hou Chengping and Wang Yongnian, who were still meeting at Hua Fusion Energy, also received relevant news.
Looking at the news in the newspapers, Academician Hou Chengping slapped his thigh fiercely, and said excitedly with a rosy face: "Why did I forget this!"
From the side, Wang Yongnian looked over, with some questioning eyes.
Hou Chengping smiled and handed over the newspaper in his hand, and said: "Weren't we still discussing the issue of submissions for "Exploration" before? We were thinking of asking the research units of the Nuclear Industry Group to submit articles to Academician Xu to support his popularity. Now look
No need to come, he will take care of it himself."
"It seems that he has already thought about the path he will take after Discovery is established."
Taking the newspaper from his old friend, Wang Yongnian flipped through it, with a look of interest in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that he had already prepared a backup plan."
Hou Chengping smiled and said: "Based on what I know about him, CRHPC is probably just the first step. Don't forget that he also controls the Xinghai Research Institute."
"The development of the moon is also inseparable from him. It is estimated that these projects and research institutes will also join this review mechanism in the future."
"We can look forward to the future of "Exploration"."
In fact, it is not just the two of them who are discussing this matter, almost all domestic academic circles are discussing the newly established journal "Exploration".
Not just discussions, most scholars like Hou Chengping are also looking forward to the development and future of "Exploration".
Discovery!
This name, which is in line with the most basic and core of scientific research, makes people full of daydreams.
Over the past few decades, the development of domestic academic circles, whether it is professional title evaluation or performance appraisal, even for doctoral dissertations, has almost always been based on English-based SCI journals.
This is not only because the right to speak in the field of basic science is in the hands of Western countries, led by the United States, but also because there are no academic journals in China that are good at it.
It is no exaggeration to say that to the extent of domestic academic journals and water journals, not to mention foreign academic institutions will adopt and cite the papers contained therein.
Even domestic universities and scientific research institutions, many do not recognize it.
In other words, it is recognized by regulations, but if you take the papers you publish in domestic academic journals, they can hardly be used as promotion capital such as professional title evaluation and performance appraisal in universities or research units.
Even doctoral graduates from many universities do not recognize submissions to domestic academic journals, but require SCI papers.
This is enough to show the extent to which domestic academic journals are ‘parallel imports’.
Of course, this does not mean that all domestic journals are rubbish. Some journals created by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and top universities are still influential.
For example, the Chinese Chemical Society Journal Platform CCS, a journal in the field of chemistry, is not as good as top journals such as JACS and ACIE, but its impact factor has reached 11.2, and the articles above are still very good.
However, domestic journals have a huge flaw.
That is, it is difficult to leave the country.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than 99% of the papers in domestic academic journals are submitted by domestic scholars.
Scholars from other countries have contributed only a handful of articles.
This is the flaw of domestic academic journals, which are difficult to internationalize and be recognized by other countries.
Many times, foreign scholars would rather apply to European Chemistry than CCS Chemistry, which has good quality articles but lacks internationalization.
If domestic academic journals can influence professional title ratings or academic assessments in other countries, then this will truly be a step forward.
At present, there is no academic journal in China that can do this.
Therefore, in the eyes of countless domestic scholars, "Exploration" created by Xu Chuan is undoubtedly a challenge to the academic hegemony controlled by Western countries.
Although they are making a comeback against the odds, almost no one has any hope of replacing Western countries in the field of basic science.
After all, since the 17th/18th century, the development of basic science has been in the hands of Western countries.
This is an area that is more deeply entrenched than U.S. space supremacy.
It is almost impossible to achieve a turning point with just one copy of "Discovery".
But as long as "Exploration" truly leaves China and goes to the world, it will affect the academic development and academic assessment of other countries.
Then China can gain a firm foothold in the field of basic science, create a world of its own, and ignite a spark.
And this will have far-reaching and significant impact on the future academic circles of China and even the world’s academic circles.
.......
As Academician Hou Chengping expected, CRHPC's announcement to recognize the journal Discovery is only the first step.
Following closely behind are the Xinghai Research Institute, China Fusion Energy, China Space Administration, the Lunar Biosphere Project, and the Lunar Outpost Scientific Research Station...
Almost all the scientific research institutions and cutting-edge international cooperation super projects with huge influence around the world have publicly spoken out after the CRHPC organization, recognized the "Discovery" journal, and included it in the academic reference standards, assessment and evaluation, and review.
Waiting for the system.
With the successive public releases, many Chinese research institutions or projects, which are at the forefront of the world and have huge influence, have incorporated "Exploration" into their academic reference standards, once again causing a huge wave in the academic world.
If the emergence of the CRHPC institution only made the physics community crazy, then the occurrence of these research institutions such as Xinghai Research Institute, Lunar Biosphere Project, Lunar Outpost Research Station, and Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute...
Madness spread from the world of physics to the entire academic world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You must know that whether in the theoretical physics community, the aerospace field, or other fields, experimental resources are always in short supply.
Just like the Large Strong Particle Collider in physics.
Even though there are currently two large strong particle colliders, CERN and CRHPC, it is still impossible to satisfy all physicists, and even one-tenth of the applications cannot be realized.
Therefore, CRHPC and CERN institutions have established councils to review resource applications from physicists involved in research, as well as physics institutes and laboratories.
The purpose is to use precious collision resources and experimental resources as much as possible on theories more worthy of exploration.
Therefore, the actions of the CRHPC institution have a huge impact on the entire physics community.
Everyone hopes that their theories can be verified through experiments, so even a small chance of priority is precious to many physicists.
As for fairness?
As Professor Frank Wilczek said, there is never absolute fairness in this world.
The CRHPC agency has done a great job.
Even papers published in Discovery and Discovery Physics will not interfere with higher-level experimental resources.
Giving priority to the same level does not undermine ‘fairness’. It is also easier to be accepted by the academic community and attract a large number of scholars to submit papers.
It is foreseeable that when the CRHPC institution makes this decision, in the academic world, at least in the theoretical physics world, the emerging journal Discovery will be fully accepted and even become the top journal in the physics world.
Journal.
And now, this development has spread from the physics community.
For example, astronomy, biology, materials science... and other fields where China has built cutting-edge scientific laboratories or super projects will follow these announcements and begin to provide huge influence to the "Exploration" journal.
.
It is foreseeable that many scholars will take the initiative to contribute to "Exploration" even if it is simply for the experimental resources and shares of these research institutions or super projects.
This is conspiracy, the purest and most difficult to countermeasure.
Because what Xu Chuan brought out was academia, a resource that was scarce and longed for by all countries.
...
Star City, Taohualing CRHPC Headquarters.
In the office, Lin Feng and Xu Chuan were sitting face to face on the sofa chatting.
"CRHPC, Xinghai Research Institute, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, Space Administration, Guizhou Tianyan, Nuclear Industry Group, Nanda... Wow, the number of research institutions and universities that have happened so far has exceeded double digits."
"The "Exploration" you created took off from the spot."
"After this comes out, I guess those gringos will be crazy about submitting articles to your "Exploration"."
Although nominally he is only an official researcher at CRHPC, as Xu Chuan’s representative at CRHPC, Lin Feng’s role here is
Looking at the news on his phone, Lin Feng smacked his lips and shook his head.
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention. He took a sip of the brewed tea and then said: "It's not like taking off from the same place. This is just a preliminary opening of a window to the outside world."
"What kind of development "Exploration" can develop in the future still depends on its growth."
He still attaches great importance to "Exploration", otherwise he wouldn't have mobilized so many research institutions and super projects to give it a platform.
As for making appointments, take your time.
To be honest, Xu Chuan does not expect to be able to develop "Exploration" to the level of "Nature" and "Science" now.
Even if organizations like CRHPC help provide some resources behind the scenes, foreign scholars will still be more willing to submit their papers to their own journals unless it is related to a theory that really requires experimental resources.
After all, the current influence of Discovery cannot be compared with those of older journals.
However, he is not worried that Discovery will lack manuscripts.
Xinghai Research Institute, CRHPC Institution, Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute, aerospace field... and other research institutions and international cooperation projects can provide papers.
Especially Xinghai Research Institute and CRHPC.
The former is an academic research institution currently second only to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China.
The four major research institutes of energy, aerospace, information, and materials and the Xinghai Academic Research Institute in the field of basic scientific research produce a large number of research results every year.
Among them, there are quite a few who are qualified to be published in the "Exploration" sub-journal.
In the past, when Discovery was not established, these research results did not involve confidentiality and theoretical papers that did not affect national security would be submitted to journals such as Nature, Science, and JASS.
After all, given the current domestic situation, these journals are important conditions for researchers and scholars’ professional title ratings, academic assessments, promotions and salary increases.
But now, with Discovery, there is no need to submit these papers to foreign journals.
Coupled with other domestic scholars, "Exploration" actually has no shortage of papers.
It is just like other domestic academic journals, lacking contributions and influence from foreign scholars.
However, the booths of CRHPC, Xinghai Research Institute, Lunar Biosphere Project...these scientific research institutions and projects made up for this last shortcoming.
It also gave "Exploration" a higher foundation and was able to occupy a corner in the international academic community in the first place.
.......
In the office, two fellow disciples were chatting. At this moment, the cell phone Xu Chuan threw on the table suddenly vibrated.
Bending over to touch the phone, Xu Chuan glanced at the ringtone display and saw that it was Zhao Guanggui, director of the Xinghai Research Institute and Materials Research Institute.
His thumb lightly swiped across the phone screen. As soon as the call was connected, a voice of suppressed excitement came from the other end.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Academician Xu, the latest results, in the study of lunar soil, a brand new material was discovered while studying the lunar rocks collected from the 'Yaochi Crater'
.When conducting experimental tests on it, we unexpectedly found that relatively neatly arranged carbon nanotubes were naturally formed inside!"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan's face looked a little moved. He couldn't help but sit up straight and asked quickly: "Are you sure?"
Naturally ordered monolithic carbon nanotubes!
If this is true, then there is no doubt that this will be their biggest achievement in the development of the moon!
It can even be said that this is the largest and most important discovery in the history of spaceflight in the world!
Because it interferes with another important development path of mankind in the field of computers, and this, without his excessive explanation, I believe anyone who knows something about the semiconductor industry will be very clear about it.
Zhao Guanggui nodded seriously and replied: "I personally used a focused ion beam electron microscope to cut this new substance, and repeated the experiments through a variety of equipment such as a single crystal diffractometer, an X-ray diffractometer, and a scanning electron microscope.
Observation confirmed the presence of a small number of naturally ordered carbon nanotubes in the material."
"From the statistical point of view, there are a total of 112 neatly arranged carbon nanotubes in this material, with obvious layering. Among them, 22 carbon nanotube crystals form the top layer structure, and 57 carbon nanotubes
The tubes constitute the second level of sorting, and the thirty-one constitute the underlying structure.”
"It is currently unclear whether these natural carbon nanotransistors have semiconductor properties..."
A series of reports were quickly passed from Zhao Guanggui's mouth.
Xu Chuan took a deep breath and said quickly: "Send me the latest test data for a while, and I will rush back as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Zhao Guanggui nodded and said forcefully: "I will send it to you through a dedicated mailbox now."
