"The paper is good, I'll have to read it for a while. Professor Fu read the quotation carefully and sat down.

There are 20 pages of paper in the main text alone, which is much more difficult to read than a short story with several pages, and Professor Fu is an expert in the same field, so he must read it little by little to understand the content of the article.

Zhong Zhiwen, who was standing behind him, was miserable, because his English was not good, he read Yang Rui's paper as if he was reading a book from heaven, and ordinary English words were naturally recognized, but in such a paper, ordinary English words were the same as embellishments.

In fact, there are not a few people who encounter the same problem.

With Professor Fu at the beginning, many of the teachers and researchers in the biology department around him asked for a single book and read it on the side of the basketball court.

However, most people don't see it for a few minutes before they wander outside.

Confidence in good English proficiency is not necessarily related to reading English papers. Many students who are at CET-4 and can only use "this, this, thank-you" to order food in a foreigner's cafeteria, can read English papers at a glance and ten lines.

If you are a student who has received sufficient training in essays, when you read a paper, you can browse if you want to, and skim if you want to, the only thing you need to pay attention to is the unfamiliar words, and it will not take much effort to look them up if you don't understand them.

However, students who have not received sufficient essay training are like gangsters who have never entered a serious gang, even if they memorize all kinds of rare words, when it comes to the big scene, they will still inevitably show their timidity.

30 years later, the slightly more normal professors of key universities are all killed from thousands of troops, and I don't know how much competition I have experienced, and the training of students' academic ability is still handy, and the graduate tutor of the second book is slightly more difficult, but if you just arrange training, there is still no problem.

Professors and researchers from top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University are even more powerful, and although the "Yangtze River Scholars Award Program" and the "Thousand Talents Program" have been criticized for many years, they have indeed introduced a large number of overseas cattle to China, who may not necessarily be the top in the world, but they can be regarded as a breath of fresh air compared to China's inbred scholars.

But in the 80s, it was not at all like that. Counting age, today's associate professors around 40 years old, professors around 50 years old can be called young, but 40-year-old people were born in the 40s, studied in the 50s, and went to university in the 60s.

The experience of professors in their fifties and sixties is also very difficult, they were born in the twenties and thirties, grew up and studied during the war years, and then faced with the situation of being in ruins at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, basic science is not only about technology, and the high demands of academics are often more hidden, and by the time they have laid a solid foundation and people reach middle age and begin to rejuvenate their academic spring, the academic soil has already acidified.

At the current Peking University, better professors, such as Tang Zhongzhi and others, went to the Southwest Associated University when they were studying, visited the Soviet Union after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and maintained a minimum level of scientific research in the past ten years, so that they can barely stay in the world's mainstream scientific research world.

Those who can't persevere, can't learn on their own, or are unlucky, most of them can only play in the domestic scientific research circle, and occasionally do a little repetitive research with a world-class domestic blank and be complacent.

If it is the study of literature, history and geography, which is buried in the pile of paper, the pure theoretical research such as mathematics and physics, and the natural science of biology, which is piled up with money, can only give a chance to a few people, such as poor China, rich China, and the United States, Japan, and Europe.

As for political cadres such as Dean Liu, judging the quality of a paper is almost a matter of counting pages.

Only a few or so teachers or researchers were able to read Yang Rui's paper seriously.

This is also in Peking University, if you change the biology department of a local college, you may even be able to save the money for subscribing to "Cell", and no one will read it anyway, so it is better to order a few more copies of "People's Daily" to make people happy. /p>

Yang Rui sat down at the table without any pressure, the paper had been published, for him, the most difficult part had been completed, and all that remained was the difference of how many flowers were added to the cake.

At this time, the atmosphere on the May Fourth basketball court began to become weird.

On the one hand, the basketball game, which had just ended, released a lot of hormones and stinky sweat, leaving behind hundreds of students and agitated breath that had not yet calmed down.

On the other hand, the empty basketball court, surrounded by tables, chairs and benches, was filled by a curious crowd of people, people next to each other, people crowded together, but it was quiet as if it were an exam.

Despite the joy of muscle power, at the end of the day, the students believe in brainpower above all else.

Peking University students are all beneficiaries of knowledge, and if there is a cult of knowledge, then Peking University students are devout believers, if not fanatical believers.

Far from being uncomfortable, the silence aroused the students' curiosity.

"Can you show me a copy?" a student squeezed in, breaking the silence.

"Xu Anqing?...... There's another copy here. Yang Rui gave him the single book.

Xu Anqing thanked him softly and lowered his head to take a closer look.

The basketball court was silent again, except for the rustle of the wind sweeping across the court.

Like Professor Fu, Xu Anqing also wanted to know how big the gap between the two sides was, he couldn't wait to open the paper, stared at the first author and corresponding author "Rui-Yang" for a few seconds, and then quickly read it.

As the provincial champion of the college entrance examination, Xu Anqing's road is smoother than most people, and in terms of academics, he joined Richard Shi Yàn in his freshman year, which can be said to be ahead of all Peking University students.

Like any other resource-intensive industry, academia is a world where the strong are stronger, and the stronger are stronger.

The best students get the best education, the best education gets the most resources, the most resources get the most results, and the most results in turn spurs more investment.

In the next year or two, they have to do their best to get the paper they want, and the level of the paper is actually largely determined by the level of the research group they join.

Ivy League universities thrive not only because they select the best students, but because they provide the best education that separates the best students from the next best.

Xu Anqing has already gotten almost the best conditions, if ...... If Richard is really successful, he will be able to get the qualification to study at the University of California, Berkeley, and in the field of biology, graduates of the University of California, Berkeley, will undoubtedly be able to fight for the best institutions or companies, and get the most attention and remuneration.

If he doesn't want to stay in the United States, many universities and research institutions in China will sing "Beijing welcomes you" to take him back, and by the way, he will be offered tens of millions of settling-in fees, as well as millions of dollars of research funds every year.

The failure of Richard's room was a heavy blow to Xu Anqing, making him fall from Cheng Dù, who was five or six years ahead of other students, to two or three years ahead of other students.

However, the lead is the lead after all, Richard's experience of being tired in the room brought Xu Anqing great confidence, he originally thought that if he worked hard for a few more years, he would still have a chance to catch up with Yang Rui and bridge the gap again.

Until the paper of "Cell" appeared on the basketball court.

This guy actually received the paper of "Cell" when he was playing basketball, Xu Anqing didn't know if he should criticize him for wasting time, or envy his good luck......

"Good luck, right...... Perhaps, maybe it's a bit of a surprise, but making a number of jù so lightly must be an element of luck......" Xu Anqing commented in his heart while flipping through the paper.

He participated in the scientific research competition in Richard's laboratory throughout the whole process, and was very familiar with mutagenic mutant genes and testing the function of potassium channels.

However, the familiar and unfamiliar proficient practical process, skillful calculation skills, and mature theoretical logic are crushing Xu Anqing's self-confidence bit by bit.

It is also crushing Professor Fu's self-confidence.

The paper is a collection of black words for outsiders, but it should be concise and concise for insiders.

The direction that Professor Fu is working on is RNA precursors, and his English level is also passable, so it is not difficult to understand Yang Rui's paper.

But if you understand it, you will feel that this project is really difficult.

It is difficult to feel distressed when you look at the instruments and materials used, it is difficult to feel distressed when you look at the practical process that obviously requires trial and error, and it is difficult to feel a headache when you look at a large number of calculations and theoretical derivations.

"Can this thing be made in half a year?" Professor Fu would think of this question every few pages of the paper.

At the beginning of getting the paper, Professor Fu wanted to give Yang Rui a little bit, but after reading the paper, the anger accumulated by Professor Fu several times was almost exhausted.

There is only a strong jealousy, which is burning.

"If this paper were mine, how ......good it would be" Seeing the end of the paper, looking at the hundreds of references, Professor Fu was already full of reverie.

"Dean Cai is here!" an exclamation broke the silence on the court and made the discussion erupt:

"Dean Cai is a member of the Academy of Sciences, why did he come here in person. "The students in the outer circle can't see the paper itself, and the strong gossip heart can only go to people.

The biology students present immediately gave the best answer at the moment: "Because this is Cell." ”

"I don't know if I have published "CELL" or not. ”

"Dean Cai has published Nature, and the impact factor of Nature is high enough. ”

"What's the impact factor?" The basketball team guard from ethnology rolls the ball from side to side with the ball on his shoulder, perfectly illustrating the spirit of leisure.

The biology students were affected by the previous atmosphere, but explained in a serious way: "The impact factor of a journal is the sum of the number of citations of all papers in a journal in the past two years, divided by the total number of papers published by the journal in the past two years. ”

"Oh......"

"The impact factor of "Cell" is more than 30 all year round, but the important thing in a paper like "Cell" is not its impact factor, but the number of citations, and the number of citations that a good paper can get on "Cell" is a lot. ”

"Isn't the impact factor an average?"

"That's because "Cell" doesn't care so much about impact factors, so it often has a short paper of one or two pages, you see that Yang Rui took out a single book so thick, such a paper, it is not difficult to cite more than 50, do you know how many citations are in the paper published by Dean Cai in "Nature" back then?"

"How much?"

"There were more than 500 that year, and there have been about 100 citations every year since then, and it has lasted for several years. The boy from the biology department sighed: "In my life, if there is a paper that can be cited more than 100 times, I will die without regrets!"
