Metallic glass is a very versatile field and very profitable, especially since the 70s, the research of metallic glass has been very active in both academic and applied fields, and a large number of binary or ternary metallic glasses of different systems have been synthesized.

Li Xin has published three papers in a row, which is also related to the fact that metallic glass is a hot spot at present. There are not many Chinese journals now, and some good articles have to be published in a queue, and as a graduate student with little funds, his project can be continuously published in the journal, which requires some environmental factors.

Although Wei Zhenxue has not been in contact with this field before, in the same discipline, different fields are interconnected, not to mention the application of metal glass itself, which is actually too difficult.

This is a field that is more geared towards engineering, which is more about input and output than the theoretical field.

Yang Rui invested thousands of yuan for Li Xin's affairs and borrowed valuable instruments.

Wei Zhenxue's luck was good, not only produced Li Xin's paper, but also made more new iron-based glass by the way.

In fact, if Li Xin can spend more time and energy and invest more money, it is also possible to make this new iron-based glass.

Scientific research is all about rolling in the mud, and if you just want to walk carefully in it, you can't find the treasure out of the mud.

Yang Rui gave Wei Zhenxue a hand, made more iron-based metal glass, and then helped him revise it into English, and then published it with Wei Zhenxue as the first author.

Published two papers in a row is also a rare experience for Wei Zhenxue.

In the next few days, Wei Zhenxue would nervously ask Yang Rui almost every day: "Why haven't you replied yet, will it be yellow?"

Yang Rui also replied routinely: "No, the letter may not have been sent yet, just wait patiently." ”

He is not tired of Wei Zhenxue's excitement, and can even understand Wei Zhenxue's excitement, any researcher will remember the first paper he published, the first first author paper, and the first English paper......

It's a kind of proof, more like a test, to test whether you fit into the brutal life of scientific research.

If you can't publish papers, you can't continue your scientific research life, and if you can't publish papers as the first author, you can't continue your scientific research life, and if you can't publish international papers, it actually means the end of your scientific research life.

Scientific research is a field that is constantly climbing, and it is not those who lag behind who will be eliminated, but those who are stagnant will be eliminated.

Especially in China, as 2 million scientific research workers resume their normal work, the pressure of competition has become more and more intense.

In the first ten years, publishing a "science", "nature" or "cell" was simply a god-like existence, and the title of member of the department or academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was almost easy to grasp. Entering the year 2000, and then publish papers on the s, what can be immediately obtained is the Yangtze River Scholars, of course, various schools and research institutes must be rushing to ask, to set up a 200-square-meter degree room in Beijing and Shanghai, take out the whole family's household registration, solve the wife's work or something, almost what you want. After 2010, let alone Changjiang scholars, professors from well-known universities have a lot of hands, and if they are doctoral students in hot fields such as biology, it is not surprising that they publish a paper in Nature and Science, and even undergraduates do this.

Wei Zhenxue's expectations for scientific research are not inferior to Yang Rui's, so after seeing Yang Rui's real room, he would rather give up his job at the Coal Research Institute. But whether he can continue his scientific research career smoothly, Wei Zhenxue is not sure.

In just over a week, Wei Zhenxue was like a monkey, he read the letter when he remembered it, and read the letter when he was fine.

Yang Rui could only persuade again and again.

During this period, on the small table at the door of the Department of Biology, there was a letter sent back to Yang Rui.

"Your paper has been published again?" Seeing Yang Rui's name, Mao Qiming immediately cleaned him up and took it back to the dormitory.

Yang Rui opened the long envelope with a smile, read it roughly, shook his head and said, "It was sent back for revision." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The reviewer thinks that there are some problems that have not been clarified, or that there are omissions in some places, so they call back and rewrite, and the major repair is more miserable, and the minor repair is fine. This article is a small repair, well, and the other articles are estimated to be about to come out. Before Yang Rui met Li Xin, he had completed four papers in a row, all of which were done for the purpose of accumulating papers.

These papers were all published in the name of Peking University, and Yang Rui also chose a higher journal to obtain a higher impact factor.

Of course, journals with a high impact factor also mean stricter scrutiny. For example, in an entry-level SCI journal such as Biochemical Systems Ecology, it is usually enough to have something to say about the paper, and in short, any small discovery, any fragmented research, can be published in such a journal.

However, journals with an impact factor of 4 to 5 such as ACS Chemical Biology will have stricter requirements, reviewers will have new requirements for the number of words in the paper, and the conclusions will need to be more constructive.

Occasionally, journals like this one will also review papers from third world countries more rigorously.

Looking at the number with colored glasses is sometimes unavoidable.

Yang Rui is still publishing papers step by step, and from time to time he will cite his own articles in his papers, which will help his papers to be published.

However, a reply from a minor repair or even a major repair cannot be avoided after all.

Mao Qiming didn't understand these things, and asked, "Can it be published after revision?"

"If you make a small repair, you have a high chance of publication. Overhaul is difficult to say, because there are too many revisions, and repairs may not necessarily meet the reviewer's requirements. Yang Rui is talking about the experience he has gained in the future, the current domestic journals have just been resurrected, and foreign journals are all based on luck, and there is no experience at all.

Dong Zhicheng suddenly stuck his head out of the bed and asked, "According to what you say, it will be very unlucky to encounter an overhaul?"

"It's a bit like chicken ribs, it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless, especially if there are too many requirements for overhaul, it's better to just give up and re-apply to another journal. Yang Rui answered quite seriously.

Dong Zhicheng scratched his head: "Is this okay?"

"Of course, the purpose is to publish the paper, and it doesn't have to be published in a certain journal. Some reviewers' opinions are not necessarily correct, but of course, if there is a succession of major repairs or major repairs and rejections, it is necessary to revise them again. Is there a situation with your paper?" Yang Rui had rarely seen Dong Zhicheng care so much about a topic before.

Dong Zhicheng shook his bumpy head and said, "Sort of, if it's a modification, I don't know how to change it." ”

"What did the teacher say?"

"Let me be practical again. I considered whether to tear it down and redo it. ”

"Decorate first, it's really not good, and then move the structure. Yang Rui said as he found out the manuscript of his paper and tried to revise it.

The requirements for minor repairs are not high, and they are nothing.

The results of the remaining three papers were fed back one after another.

Two of them go straight to guò, and the other still requires minor repairs, which is better than most teachers in terms of proportion.

This is also because Yang Rui uses mature real yàn and papers, and there is very little room for revision.

The paper that Wei Zhenxue was looking forward to followed closely behind, and it was sent over before the final exam.

Straight to guò!

Seeing such a result, Wei Zhenxue almost went crazy.

"Even if it's not as high as your thesis, I'm satisfied. Wei Zhenxue sat in the real room, and when he saw Yang Rui, he raised his wine glass.

"Alcohol is not allowed in the room. Yang Rui smiled and said, "Congratulations, but I won't take it as an example." ”

"I'm not drinking. ”

Yang Rui fanned his hand under his nose, as if sniffing chemical reagents, and said, "It doesn't seem to smell like any wine, what do you drink?"

"Anhydrous alcohol. Wei Zhenxue took a sip of his wine glass, feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction in relying on the mountains and the sea to eat the sea.

Yang Rui sighed and said, "Drink less, it's not good for your health." ”

"I know, I mixed it with distilled water, up to 40 degrees. Wei Zhenxue drank half a cup: "By the way, the editor-in-chief of the "Organic Chemistry Bulletin" is here and wants to talk to me. ”
