"Yang Rui, are you reviewing the paper, the paper of a professor at the University of Tokyo?" Lao Wang wandered into the real yàn room next door.

The university rooms like to be clustered together, because they can share resources, such as a room for raising mice, a large microscope for sharing, etc., and it is too much trouble if the distance is too far.

Lao Wang is doing biochemistry, not far from the gel room, and it didn't take long for him to hear about Yang Rui as a reviewer from his colleagues.

However, rumors are always easy to exaggerate, so Lao Wang took advantage of Shiyàn's free time to come over and ask in person.

Yang Rui was reading the manuscript when he was named, and he barely remembered Lao Wang's face, so he had to reply with a smile: "Yes." In the review also. ”

Lao Wang nodded, moved a chair to sit opposite Yang Rui, and asked, "What is the paper written by the professor at the University of Tokyo?"

"The professors at the University of Tokyo are not aliens, so they can write whatever they want. Yang Rui said helplessly: "In the past periodicals, there are a lot of papers from the University of Tokyo." ”

"I don't pay much attention to the papers when I read them, but now that I think about it, I don't know which paper was written by a professor at the University of Tokyo. ”

Yang Rui thought to himself: This shows that you are a weak chicken, you can understand if you don't sweep the paper without scanning the author, after reading papers for many years, you at least know where the well-known scholars in your field are from, or, you have not contacted other scholars at all?

It's a pity that Lao Wang is a teacher at school, so Yang Rui can't laugh as much as he wants, in fact, he can't be ridiculed at all.

As a result, Yang Rui had no choice but to enter a boring conversation: "The paper is written about the ion membrane." ”

"The ion membrane has a deep relationship with the potassium ions you wrote. ”

"I guess that's probably the reason, so I asked him to review his manuscript. ”

"Foreign journals are quite bright, see that you have the ability, let you review the manuscript. Lao Wang half-jokingly complimented.

"We are an editorial review system, foreigners are peer reviewers, as long as they are peers, review a manuscript, and there is no need to mobilize teachers. ”

Yang Rui's modesty made Lao Wang's mood much better, everyone is doing scientific research, he is a university teacher, and he has never reviewed foreign papers.

Of course, there are not a few teachers who have been reviewers in Peking University, especially those who have not published papers in foreign journals.

No one is okay without me, and it is uncomfortable for people to have me without talent. Lao Wang looked at the paper in front of Yang Rui, said two more gossips, sighed in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "You are busy, I'll go." ”

"Oh, I'll send you. Yang Rui looked down at the paper, and his butt moved slowly.

"Don't send it, you're busy with you, try it well. Lao Wang bowed his head and went out.

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his seat, and started reading the paper from the previous paragraph.

Japanese English essays are not as difficult to understand as their spoken language, grammar and other aspects are quite good, but they are verbose, and there is always a sense of disobedience in terms of essay structure.

If it is a top journal like cell, the language with a sense of disobedience must be changed, and the most demanding is "Science", and they even require the paper to be interesting, if the author can't do it, then find an author who can do it to revise, and give the author the right to authorship the contribution.

However, the JMC has not yet been arrogant to the point of science. The latter's high-quality papers are piled up, and if one is pitted, it will be pitted, and none of the PCR papers were published in Science that year, and I don't know how many unknown scholars have lost the opportunity to make a name for themselves because of this.

The Impact Factor of JMC is 4. 0 to 5. 0, to 1. 0 of entry-level journals, 2. 0 or 3. The advanced class periodicals of 0 naturally went to the sky, but compared to 8. 0 or 10. 0, or 30. Cells above 0 are incomparably weak.

As a reviewer, Yang Rui is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about the text. It is the editors of the journal who review the norms, and the academic value that they do not judge is what Yang Rui needs to judge.

Reading foreign papers written by foreigners as foreigners is not an easy task.

Yang Rui is ready to spend all this afternoon's time here.

However, Lao Wang next door left, and not long after, Lao Li next door came to the door again: "Yo, what about the review?"

"Yes. Yang Rui got up, and suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to stay in Tang Zhongshi's room to read the manuscript.

Next door, Lao Li smiled and then asked, "Are you reading the paper of a professor at the University of Tokyo?"

"Yes......"

"Awesome, you can read the papers of the professors of the University of Tokyo, and you can also read the papers of the professors of our Peking University. ”

Yang Rui was excited: "You have something to say." ”

"Look at you, think so much, I'm just one sentence. Lao Li laughed twice more and said, "I have a paper, do you have time to help me read it?"

"I'll see it again when I have time, I'll have to be busy with this today. ”

"Shall I bring it to you, then?"

"I'll pick it up another day. Yang Rui sent Lao Li out and sat down again to read the paper.

Not long after, Lecturer Fan and Assistant Teacher Tan came in again.

"You're in the limelight today. Assistant Professor Tan said with a smile: "Everyone in the school knows that Yang Rui has started to review the manuscript for the professor of the University of Tokyo today." ”

"Anyone who has published a paper in JMC is likely to have it reviewed by JMC, and there are many people who have reviewed their manuscripts for professors at the University of Tokyo. Yang Rui had to express his modesty again and again.

Assistant Teacher Tan pointed at Yang Rui: "What you said is simple, almost all of the people who have published JMC in our school are associate professors or above...... Of course, if you've published Cell, you don't think JMC is any better. ”

As he spoke, Assistant Teacher Tan was unhappy himself.

A college student who has published a paper at Cell is now able to talk to him on an equal footing.

He knew very well in his heart that as long as Yang Rui graduated and got that graduation certificate, whether he stayed in school or went somewhere else, a cell paper could be eaten for a lifetime, and it was much more comfortable than him.

Assistant Professor Tan is also a bachelor's degree, but he never thought of publishing a cell, in fact, if he had the slightest idea of doing so, he would continue to study in graduate school.

"Professor Tang has also reviewed foreigners' articles before, and I helped me read them. Lecturer Fan diverted the topic and eased the atmosphere a bit.

Yang Rui smiled, but his eyes followed the paper on the table, and Guang was a little puzzled.

"Yang Rui, Lao Fan is talking to you. Assistant Teacher Tan reminded.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I think there is a problem here......" Yang Rui subconsciously replied, picked up the pen, and drew a line in the middle of the page.

Tan Fan and the others naturally looked over.

However, there is no help from the context, just a sentence or two, and I can't see anything.

"What should I do if I have a problem?" it was Sun Ruyue who asked, he saw that Yang Rui had stopped, and the professor's paper at the University of Tokyo really brought too much curiosity.

Yang Rui looked at the English part of the paper again, then looked at the conclusion at the back, and said, "It seems that this is probably the case." ”

"What do you mean?" Lecturer Fan seemed to sense something.

Yang Rui was silent for a moment and said, "As it is now, this paper should be revised. ”

"You're going to dismiss this paper?"

"Yes. ”

"The professor's paper at the University of Tokyo will not be published!" Assistant Professor Tan found the interesting part and couldn't help but laugh meaningfully.

Yang Rui smiled and began to write comments on the revision of the paper.
