Chapter 584: Quota for Going Abroad

After Yang Rui completed the paper, he let the patent attorneys read it before sending it out.

The target of the delivery was selected by Yang Rui as "Nature", which is the famous "Nature".

Compared with "CELL", the popular influence of "Nature" is slightly better, not only because it is an old natural science journal, but also because "Nature" has a wider coverage, for example, all papers in the natural sciences can be published in "Nature" magazine, making its influence and dissemination more wider.

Many hot topics have been popular in professional journals for many years, and they are not as popular science as a "Nature", and many ordinary newspapers like to stare at "Nature" and "Science" magazines to report, such as the "New York Times", and from time to time they will come to an eye-catching popular science article.

However, in terms of academics, cell is actually more rigorous and professional, while "Nature" and "Science" have higher requirements for originality and novelty, and the requirements for argumentation are not so high.

Haruko Kohokata's paper on STAP cells was published in Nature, and Cell rejected it. Such a legend, the cell was an international hot spot at that time, and nature couldn't wait to publish it, as for the cell, it requires absolute professionalism, and the article published in the cell needs to be clearly demonstrated, and Haruko Kobo can't do this, so she can only give up.

Of course, the fact that Cell is more rigorous and professional does not mean that Nature is not rigorous and professional, but that they do not have such high requirements for argumentation.

Yang Rui's previous paper on potassium ion channels belonged to the top of the academic ecology, so he rushed to the cell, and at that time, what he needed most was academic recognition.

In fact, after getting the receipt of cell, whether it is Peking University Tsinghua University, whether it is Asian academia or European academia, Yang Rui's academic strength must be recognized, which is the most urgent need of young Yang.

But PCR doesn't have to be academic.

Its wide application is the key to winning the Nobel Prize, and its academic indicators are not high. Because of this, Yang Rui's first choice for publishing papers is not a hyper-academic cell, but nature or science.

In the end, Yang Rui chose "Nature" instead of "Science" because "Science" has a history of rejecting the original author of PCR.

Yang Rui didn't want to go through such a stubble again.

Revision or rejection is a very time-consuming task, and most importantly, if it is not approved on time, the invention rights of the PCR will be disputed.

Yang Rui doesn't want controversy.

His age and education were enough for him to be controversial, and he didn't want anything else.

At this point, Yang Rui is actually a little overprotective, however, in the history of Yang Rui that he knows, the history of PCR publication can be called twists and turns - the original author Morris's paper was not published on time, so that other people's papers on PCR were published first, and the author was once worried that his research results would be robbed......

Of course, his research results are now going to be robbed by Yang Rui.

Yang Rui grabbed it with confidence, and in order to snatch the results of PCR steadily, Yang Rui was not satisfied with sending papers.

If Nature doesn't recognize the importance of PCR, they are likely to reject it.

Yang Rui is not an old friend of Nature, he is not an old friend of Cell, if he is rejected, he will not call, nor will he receive a letter of explanation from the editor, he will only get a standard letter of rejection a few weeks later, in other words, Yang Rui will not be able to explain and persuade the editor, and when he receives the rejection letter, he has wasted a lot of time.

"I would like to give a presentation at an international conference, preferably a high-level academic conference. ”

Yang Rui thought about it, and when Li Wenqiang and others were busy verifying the "golden standard", he found Academician Cai and put forward his own requirements.

In terms of the current procedures in the country, finding an institution such as a school is the fastest.

Inviting foreign scholars to send an invitation letter will simplify the process, but it will not necessarily speed it up, not to mention that it will take time for an invitation letter sent by a foreign country.

Academician Cai was a little embarrassed.

There are international conferences every month, busy months, there are even a few per month, and nowadays, biology is a global scientific research hotspot, not only can you participate in various international conferences on biology, but also international conferences such as organic chemistry.

The crux of the matter lies in going abroad, which is fragrant.

To put it mildly, in 1984, if any male college boy had a place to study abroad and a place to accompany him, then he could directly go around Beijing and find the most beautiful girl in any school to confess, saying "we go abroad together", and the success rate of confession was 90%, and if he went to the United States, the success rate could increase by five percentage points.

University professors are getting older, studying abroad is no longer possible, and everyone's eyes are on international conferences and visiting scholars.

Visiting scholars are naturally the best, the best choice for older professors, but visiting scholars first need results, second, they need recognition from international peers, third, they need invitation letters from foreign schools, and fourth, and most importantly, they need foreign schools to be willing to pay.

And the premise of all this is to participate in international conferences as much as possible.

Needless to say, international conferences held in China are all rushing to go, not to mention international conferences, which are even more vigorous.

In particular, Yang Rui asked for a speech at the high-level academic conference...... This is simply the standard configuration of visiting scholars, and some academicians are staring at it.

Academician Cai looked at Yang Rui's paper over and over again, and it was really difficult to make a decision, so he asked first: "When do you want to go?"

"The sooner the better, no more than two months...... I know this is a bit excessive, but I'm worried that someone will get ahead of me and that in two months' time, the paper may have already been published. ”

Academician Cai smiled bitterly: "The quota for going abroad in the second half of this year has been counted, if you have already stayed in school, it will be easier to do a little ......"

Scholars below the level of associate academician may be able to go abroad once in their lifetime, and let anyone give up their quotas, which is a mortal enemy, and it is the same as dividing the house, and this kind of welfare within the establishment is something that anyone will have to fight for.

Yang Rui said tentatively: "I can go abroad at my own expense, as long as I find an invitation to an international conference......

"It's not about money, tens of thousands of dollars are nothing. Academician Cai waved his hand to interrupt Yang Rui and looked down at the article again.

Yang Rui was also a little helpless.

The original version of the PCR was so unpopular.

If it is cloned, let alone cloned a sheep, the embryo of a sheep is cloned, the world's top biological conference, you can go, and the organizers have to provide all kinds of excellent conditions.

If it's a century-old mathematical problem like Fermat's theorem, it's even more powerful, a group of young or old mathematicians squatting in the room and looking at you with the eyes of the stars.

And in 1984, looking at the original PCR, you may be able to see some potential, or you may not see the potential, but no one can see the Nobel Prize.

The potential of PCR is fast enough to take years to realize, and many studies often don't see their importance until years after the scholars have died......

"Very nice project. Of course, Academician Cai didn't see the Nobel Prize, but the paper in front of him still made him feel bright, which was the main reason why he was difficult to choose, if it was a paper with an impact factor of about 10, he wouldn't think about it for so long.

The highest achievement of a Peking University professor in the 80s may be an impact factor of 10. 0 papers, but even so, there are so many professors at Peking University, such as Academician Cai himself, and many papers can be published in the laboratory every year10. 0's thesis, such an article, is not worth his exception.

But Yang Rui's paper is more than that.

"Where did you submit your manuscript?" asked Academician Cai.

Yang Rui replied: "nature." ”

Academician Cai was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's okay, En...... You want to attend a high-level academic conference and aim to be published in Nature, right?"

It can be seen that he thinks that the publication of this paper in Nature is risky, but there is also a chance.

For today's Chinese scholars, if they have the opportunity to appear in Nature, it is certainly worth doing everything they can to increase their chances, and Yang Rui's request to attend a high-level academic conference and give a report is also a valid reason.

Even if Academician Cai himself wants to publish a "Nature", it may take several years of hard work, and it will take a little more effort to kick the door at the door.

Yang Rui couldn't explain, so he couldn't help it: "Almost, I'm more worried about timeliness, you see, this paper is more creative, although I have applied for a patent, I am still afraid of being preempted." ”

"There is indeed this risk,......" Academician Cai pondered for a long time, and said: "In this way, I will take it to the meeting, strive for approval, and then ask you for a mobile quota, so that you will not offend anyone." ”

He thought about Yang Rui very thoroughly, if he deprived a teacher of his qualifications for Yang Rui to participate in the national conference, people would not be able to get the head of the department, and they would desperately smash Yang Rui with a brick.

Yang Rui nodded again and again, and said, "It's good to be able to do this." ”

"There's one more problem. Academician Cai closed the paper and said, "Your signature needs to be changed." The separate first author and corresponding author are no problem, the unit must be Peking University, and you can put it as your ion channel laboratory. In the name of Sinovel Laboratory, I can pass it, and other committee members also have something to say, so we can't give Peking University's quota to foreign laboratories. ”

Yang Rui was so busy that he didn't notice this big oolong at all, and he was speechless for a moment.

"This project is a project established by Sinovel Labs, and it is carried out in Sinovel Labs, and it is the money of Sinovel Labs...... If you sign Peking University, the other party will not agree. "Yang Rui can only take out the Huarui laboratory and jack the cylinder.

For the sake of what may be a "Nature", Academician Cai nodded slowly and said: "The truth is true, but if you want Peking University to give a quota, you must have the signature of Peking University." Well, it's a bit too much for you to write directly as Peking University, so let's either write a collaborative experiment, such as the cooperation between Sinovel Labs and Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory, or you add a co-first author, the corresponding author and the first author are still you, and the unit is signed by Sinovel Labs, so that everyone knows that it is your project. The first author is written behind you, signed by Peking University, which is easier to operate, I will help you find a leader to sign, and it is not out of place to change the quota for going abroad. At Sinovel Labs, you can also ask them to understand, you are the person in charge of the laboratory, and you should be able to convince them. ”

The academic transaction is so beautiful and refined, Yang Rui doesn't know how to react.

In his heart, Yang Rui has no moral cleanliness. China has always paid attention to egalitarianism, and if a scientific research migrant worker does something more high-end than washing test tubes, he dares to say that he has made a collective contribution, and the leaders of the people can get a quota to go abroad to participate in the conference, and strive for favorable conditions for the publication of papers.

However, Academician Cai can't see the true value of PCR, but Yang Rui is clear.

This is a Nobel Prize-level paper, although the school leaders can't get the Nobel Prize, but a Nobel Prize-level paper is signed, and it is too much to change the number of places abroad!

More importantly, Peking University should participate in the signature, which will seriously affect the patent of PCR.

But if he can't go abroad to participate in the conference, "Nature" will reject the manuscript again, and Yang Rui's right to discovery will be seriously affected.

At this time, the original PCR development company Syst has a prototype of PCR, and they do not attach much importance to PCR at present, but once they retrieve the patent for PCR, in order to reduce losses, they will definitely speed up the project and apply for a patent at the same time.

As a result, PCR's patents and discovery rights would also be seriously affected.

It's like a streptomycin lawsuit, and I don't know how many stories there are about fighting a lawsuit until I am exhausted, and I don't know how many stories I have no choice but to reconcile.

When it comes to court, the legal profession is not asking for truth and fairness.

Yang Rui couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
