> Tu Xian stayed up all night, changed the wording of the paper, and sent it out, because it did not involve the content, and after the editor of the journal read it, he directly decided to wait.

In less than a week, Tu Xian received a fax of the paper.

It's an indescribable pleasure, it doesn't make people shout out, or jump up and party, but it feels worth eating what you don't normally want to eat, drinking two more drinks than usual, and indulging in a few more hours than usual, as if you were forced to reward yourself.

Tu Xian did all of this.

He took out all the cash in the drawer, poured himself a pound of liquor in the small restaurant outside the school gate, ate four large bowls of rice, and a large pot of boiled pork slices.

The boiled meat slices are tender and tough, and even the cabbage inside is sprayed with a faint aroma of oil, and Tu Xian, who eats it, is full of heat, and his face is full of happiness.

And the bottle of Erguotou solidified his happiness on his face.

Tu Xian was deeply drunk.

The next day, he gave the students a lesson, went back to the office, thought about it for a long time, went to the mail, and sent a telegram to his classmates studying in London, asking for information about the reviewers of Biochemical Systems Ecology.

The information in journals and journals is usually open and transparent, and the two-way anonymity of reviewers and contributors is only valid for the duration of the review, and the reviewer information is available before and after.

In some journals, contributors are often required to select their own reviewers, of course, editors may not necessarily assign according to the requirements of the contributors, but the system itself can give a bottom line, so that editors can assign the right reviewers if they are not sure about the research area of the paper.

There are always some Chinese who are qualified to be reviewers for foreign journals, but if the scope is narrowed down to the journal "Biochemical Systems Ecology", there are not many reviewers.

In fact, in Chinese mainland, Biochemical Systems Ecology identified only three reviewers. In contrast, there were six reviewers in Hong Kong and more than 80 in Japan.

Tu Xian only needed the list and contact information of the mainland, and among the three people, one was in Beijing, one was in Wu*han, and the other was in Nanhu City, Hedong Province......

People in Beijing, Tu Xian knows, is an associate researcher of the Institute of Biology, equivalent to the title of associate professor, is considered a leader among his peers, Tu Xian's resources are far less than others, and he doesn't think the two can cooperate, so he wrote two letters, one to Wu * Han, and one to Hedong.

When the letter was sent, Tu Xian was a little sober and felt that he had done something meaningless.

If you can be a reviewer for SCI journals, will there be no regular co-researchers? Maybe there will be a team below.

However, it is a waste of a few cents of stamp money.

Tu Xian quickly put the letter behind him, thinking about the team every day, and working happily.

If you are an associate professor, you can lead your own team, although there are still only one or two people, and many times students give you a hand, but after all, it is a team, you can hang your name on it, and there will also be the best assessment and finance, think about it.

In the Chinese academic community, becoming an associate professor is the beginning of a researcher, and before that, they were just handymen in the research community.

However, when Tu Xian did not report his expectations for the reply, the reply appeared unexpectedly.

"Yang Rui ...... from Xibao Middle School, Xibao Town, Xixian County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province" Tu Xian read this long name, and suddenly felt familiar.

"In which journal have I seen this name. Tu Xian's memory is excellent and quite confident, and he can still remember the main content of every book he read when he was a student, and can connect them linearly together. It is less common to remember the name and be unsure.

Tu Xian took the letter, went straight to the library, and flipped out the journals he had read recently with his vague memory, looking for Yang Rui's name.

Soon, Ruiyang's pinyin came into Tu Xian's eyes.

"No wonder it's familiar. Tu Xian suddenly realized. There is no specific address in foreign journals, and it is only composed of two pinyins, which is difficult to generate impressions.

"Find me this author's paper. Tu Xian beckoned and called a student from the library to help and asked him to find the retrieval card.

Nowadays, there is no computer search, and the library uses cards to search.

The cards are made of palm-sized white cardboard and placed in drawers with the title of the book, the author's name, the introduction, and so on, arranged in alphabetical order. When you need to find information, flipping cards is a more efficient way than flipping through books.

It's just a little boring.

The work-study students in the library were familiar with the location of the cards, and it was faster to find them, and after a while, they took out more than a dozen cards and handed them to Tu Xian.

"So many?" Tu Xian was slightly surprised. If you are a university professor in Beijing and have more than a dozen SCI papers, it is quite normal, but Hedong Province ......

Tu Xian didn't know much about that place, but in terms of the current allocation of resources in the country, the level of research in Hedong Province was really more than one level lower.

"If this is Hedong's big deal, the cooperation is a bit ridiculous. Tu Xian read the card and handed it to the counter.

"It's 8 books in total. The teacher in the library tore up the list, asked Tu Xian to fill it in, put the card away, put the list in the small elevator behind him, and pressed the button.

The so-called elevator, which is only the size of two milk crates, will send the documents to the upstairs or downstairs stacks, and the staff inside will find the books on the list, take them to the elevator with a supermarket-style trolley, and then push them back to the search room and hand them to the borrower.

This process can be long or short, and Tu Xian didn't wait too long before he saw a thick stack of periodicals.

"Biochemical System Ecology" is Tu Xian's expectation, however, the weight of the paper is still Tu Xian did not expect, often two or three thousand words of papers, not you write, the journal will publish, there is no certain popularity or trust, there is no reviewer strong recommendation, the editor will usually ask the word numerical control zhì in the appropriate range, those legends are not a hit, a blockbuster, is just a legend. Even Einstein's paper has to be questioned countless times, and what paper can guarantee that it must be a masterpiece.

Tu Xian read it for more than two hours before he finished reading all these papers.

There were papers that he had read before, but he just didn't pay attention to the authors.

Looking back on it now, it's quite interesting.

After reading "Biochemical Systems Ecology", followed by several issues of "ACS Chemical Biology", Tu Xian took a deep breath when he saw the cover.

If Biochemical Systems Ecology is an entry-level journal for SCI, ACS Chemical Biology is an intermediate-level journal.4 The impact factor of about 5 can properly evaluate an associate professor, and it is not possible to use it until the age of 40.

Tu Xian rarely read this journal before, because it was difficult and far away from his own research, so if he was looking for research hotspots, he naturally had other options.

However, if the people around me can make this kind of paper, it will be quite powerful.

Tu Xian couldn't hold back any longer, spread out the scratch paper on the spot, and wrote the letter.

Following.

The reply letter was changed and changed by Tu Xian and sent to Xibao Middle School in Xibao Town, Xi County, Nanhu City, Hedong Province.

Tu Xian felt that Yang Rui must be living in a middle school, maybe his wife was in middle school......

"Maybe you can invite him to teach at the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute. The school is just about to set up a biology department, if you come up with a teaching position with the same title, plus a Beijing hukou, solve the wife's work...... A set of dormitories, there should still be a chance. Tu Xian secretly made a plan.
