The paper I just wrote turned out to be true

Chapter 35 Unspoken Rules of Journals

In the middle of the night, discussions on Weibo were in full swing.

And in the editorial department of Xiyang Magazine.

Zhang He was still working, he yawned.

Work is very busy these days.

When Lin Chen published a thesis, the ones who were most stimulated were the domestic history students. They became popular when they saw someone published a "disrespectful" paper, and there must be some people who wanted to imitate it.

Therefore, a lot more people contributed during this period of time.

Even if Xiyang Magazine is not popular, it has received a lot of letters.

So it increased the workload.

He looked at the time, and it was not yet eleven o'clock, so he opened the mailbox and wanted to review the manuscript.

Zhang He glanced at it.

"This article is too naive and does not meet the requirements."

"It's too bad. You can't be famous for the sake of being famous. You even argue that Hua Mulan is a man. Where is this student? You don't have any basic common sense."

Zhang He frowned, not satisfied with these papers.

Although Xiyang Magazine has a low threshold, it can't fool things like this.

Therefore, Zhang He ruthlessly rejected many.

He continued to browse, his attitude becoming more and more indifferent.

Read each manuscript for about 1 minute.

First look at the significance and feasibility of the topic, then look at the abstract, judge the writing of the whole paper, and the final conclusion.

If the above is met.

See the references at the end of the article.

Basically, those with less than 5 documents should also be excluded.

As a historical paper, it doesn't make sense to only refer to a few documents, and the most basic citations must have six or seven.

And that's exactly it.

This batch of submissions is miserable.

Depending on the review editor, the results may vary.

Zhang He belongs to the stricter type, and his academic attitude is very correct.

Hey, a paper appeared in front of his eyes.

"Several guesses on the activities of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty in Central America."

Zhang He subconsciously fell into the category of sensationalism.

It is obviously a way of opportunism.

He also knew about yesterday's news that the expert group released a report on the fact that the descendants of Yin and Shang landed in Central America, but the report came out only after it was clear.

Submit today.

Pure nonsense.

Zhang He made a decision in his heart.

But still click in and have a look.

I want to see what this student has to say.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Zhang He's mouth.

After seeing the name, he paused.

"Lin Chen?"

The same name and surname, or?
Look at the communication unit again.

"Beihe University."

He became energetic all at once.

It's not the same name and surname, it's the same person.

His attitude changed obviously, and he became a little serious.

Well, Lin Chen may not be aimless.

Just look at the thesis.

He browses carefully.

"Yes, this paper is much better than the first one he wrote, both in terms of format and content."

Zhang He nodded.

Continue browsing.

His brows gradually wrinkled.

"There is still one biggest loophole in the whole paper. The logic is not strong. The entire line of activities of the descendants of Yin and Shang is almost guesswork. There is no evidence. It is just the author's family's words."

Zhang He commented after reading it.

There is nothing wrong with the others.

If other people contributed, such a paper may be rejected.

However, it was Lin Chen who contributed.

That's a little bit different.

He took his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, Old Chen."

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

An impatient voice came from the opposite side, it should have just fallen asleep.

"Don't sleep yet, I have a paper here, you can read it for me."

"What paper? Don't read it. I'll talk about it tomorrow. I still have to sleep." Chen Xirun from Heihe Journal muttered.

"It's Lin Chen's thesis."

"Who?"

A bit sleepy and tired, Chen Xirun sat up instantly: "Has he submitted to your journal?"

"Yes."

"Written what?"

Zhang He laughed and said, "Don't you want to watch?"

"Bah." Chen Xirun said: "Send it to me quickly to take a look. I want to read the papers he published. You don't know, just by one of his papers, our magazine has earned an extra million. This year's performance has already been achieved." finished."

"However, why did he submit to your journal?"

Zhang He quit.

"What's wrong with our journal, no matter how you say it, it's better than you."

"That's because you are lucky. If it weren't for Fang Jing, your journal's impact factor would be about the same as ours."

The ranking of a journal depends on the impact factor of the journal, and often the impact factor of a journal depends on the citation rate of the papers in the journal.

The impact factor of Xiyang Magazine has risen in recent years, largely due to one person——Fang Jing.

This is a genius.

Because he was appreciated by Xiyang Magazine before taking off, he will still contribute to Xiyang Magazine after becoming famous.

You must know that there are many journals vying for Fang Jing's journal, so he has no problem submitting to journal C.

But every year he will submit an article in this journal.

As a result, the impact factor of journals has continued to rise.

After all, many people must cite Fang Jing's paper when they write a certain aspect of the paper.

Can't get around him.

Just like a patent, if you want to develop research, you cannot bypass the basic link.

Zhang He clicked to send, with a smug look on his lips.

He admired Fang Jing.

That's why he can firmly occupy the position of the first editor of Xiyang Magazine.

Now, he plans to continue to vote for Lin Chen.

After about 10 minutes.

Chen Xirun has sent a letter.

"How about it?"

Chen Xirun hesitated and said: "It's just average, but this guess is a bit absurd. Mexico has found traces of the descendants of the Yin and Shang, but the Olmec civilization will not be established by the descendants of the Yin and Shang. How can they have such a great ability?" , according to my understanding, it is very likely that they were assimilated."

Zhang He shook his head: "We are just reviewers, not experts in relevant fields. Since the two civilizations have similarities and appear very similar in time, it is possible. As for this absurd guess, let history prove it. After all, we can’t judge whether it’s right or wrong.”

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang He thought for a moment and called his secretary.

"Apply to the above, and this paper will be graded A."

The secretary said in surprise, "Manager Zhang, it's been a long time since our magazine commented on A and so on."

Magazines generally charge money.

Especially the better the journal, the more expensive the page fee may be.

Generally speaking, the page fee for a C journal is around 2000 to 3000.

Most of the school teachers and students' publications are funded by subject projects.

But for ordinary journals.

Most students pay for it themselves.

However, some "motivated" ordinary journals are just stuck between non-influential and influent. In order to attract more outstanding authors to submit articles, they will contact them privately. The advantage is that they do not charge page fees and will also give certain benefits .

Such journals account for very few.

And few authors make money.

Xiyang Magazine also implements this method.

For excellent journals, the potential of the author will be judged, so that no page fee will be charged, and compensation will be given.

ps: Please recommend what historical papers to write to make it a reality, and you can comment freely. I choose one or two.

Also, please support me.

Test the waters and push.
