From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the office became cold.

Wang Hao asked Zhou Qingyuan to have dinner together. He wanted to consult about the submission of mathematics papers, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Wang Hao was about to leave, Yan Jing also stood up.

Before hearing Wang Hao talking about things like 'submission' and 'publication fee', she thought that Wang Hao might have 'no money'. The school does have subsidies for publishing papers, but it's just publishing ordinary SCI, so it must be You will lose a lot of money.

If there are papers, it is impossible not to publish them.

However, there were other people in the office, and Yan Jing was thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask, she took the initiative to speak as if there was something wrong with the two of them, and there were so many people talking that she couldn't explain clearly.

Just as Wang Hao walked out of the door to the corridor, he happened to bump into Zhu Ping who was getting out of the elevator. He said hello, "Sister Zhu, let's go."

"Wang Hao, don't go!"

Zhu Ping stopped him, and asked bluntly, "I heard what you said about submitting your manuscript this afternoon. Are you short of money recently?" She patted her chest and smiled, "If you need money, tell my sister that you don't need it." Find someone else. Sister has worked for so many years, and she still has a bit of money."

Wang Hao was very moved immediately, "Sister Zhu, thank you, I am not short of money for the time being. If I really need it in the future, I will definitely find you."

"no problem."

Zhu Ping walked towards the office with a smile. Seeing Yan Jing standing at the door, she asked suspiciously, "Xiao Yan, what are you doing standing here?"

Yan Jing was alert all over, blushing and said hastily, "I'm going to leave too."

Zhu Ping looked at Yan Jing, then thought of Wang Hao who had just left, her eyes narrowed, and she asked loudly, "I thought you were eavesdropping on us!"

Yan Jing quickly waved her hands, "No, no."

She immediately realized that Zhu Ping was joking, and the two of them spoke so loudly that they were not afraid of being heard by others.

Immediately, his face turned red, he picked up his things and left.

...

After Wang Hao left the comprehensive office building, he went to the restaurant on the west side of the school. After waiting for a short time, he saw Zhou Qingyuan.

Zhou Qingyuan took doctoral students under his command and wasted some time as a supervisor. When he arrived, he immediately asked, "Wang Hao, from your tone, it seems that something is wrong?"

Wang Hao and Zhou Qingyuan were very familiar with each other, so he said without greeting, "I have three mathematics papers to submit, and I would like your comments."

"English, SCI?"

Zhou Qingyuan asked in surprise. He knew it was SCI as soon as he heard it. If it was a contribution to a small domestic magazine, there was no need to ask him at all.

Wang Hao nodded.

Even though the answer was confirmed, Zhou Qingyuan was still very surprised, "Three articles? Finished? What's the content?"

Wang Hao simply explained.

The three papers are all research related to "non-homogeneous equations", and they are also basic research on pure mathematics.

After listening to a few words, Zhou Qingyuan was sure that it was true. One of the studies he also thought about in the same direction, but he did a lot of research. He studied a small idea of ​​solving an equation, and gave up without getting a result.

Now that he heard Wang Hao talk about the completion of the research, he knew that there must be no problem. After listening to the research content carefully, he gave a suggestion, "If you can submit to a better journal, you must choose a better one."

"The general solution paper is the most meaningful. You can try to submit to the top journal, and other small journals affiliated to foreign universities, such as academic journals."

Zhou Qingyuan analyzed it carefully, and continued, "Universal solution, refine the content, and have a chance to vote for the top journal."

"The other two papers have no chance, but they can still be included in SCI. Just find an affiliated journal and submit to it. The review process is fast and the publication fee is low."

"The general solution, I suggest you vote for "Variational Method and Partial Differential Equations", the impact factor is not high, but it is very authoritative in the field of differential equations, and the index rate is relatively high."

The "top journal" mentioned by Zhou Qingyuan is divided by "authority in the professional field". "Variational Method and Partial Differential Equations" can be ranked among the top 30 international journals in the field of basic mathematics research, and can be ranked among the top in the field of independent differential equations five.

This can already be regarded as the "top journal" of mathematics.

In the academic field, the impact factor is not the only criterion for judging the benefits of a journal, because the impact factor will be limited by the 'type'.

Journals such as medical and applied journals tend to have higher impact factors.

Journals of mixed nature, such as "Nature" and "Science", have no definite classification of types, and their impact factors are also operated very high, occupying the top 20 international journals for a long time.

For journals that are purely for unpopular subjects, the impact factor is relatively low.

The foundation of mathematics is an unpopular category.

Just consider one question, and it becomes clear, "Who would read a paper on a particular method of solving equations, except for those who are obsessed with fundamental mathematics?"

after dinner.

Wang Hao and Zhou Qingyuan walked out of the restaurant together.

When they were about to leave, Zhou Qingyuan suddenly asked, "Wang Hao, it costs a lot of money to submit an article. If you need money, you can find me."

Wang Hao said with some embarrassment, "I don't need it for now, thank you very much, you have helped me enough."

Zhou Qingyuan nodded to Wang Hao before turning around and walking away with a smile on his face.

He was the one who invited Wang Hao to come to Xihai University.

Now seeing that Wang Hao can complete three papers, and all of them are qualified for SCI, it is enough to show his foresight. When others talk about this matter, they may say that he has a very foresight in recruiting a math genius to Xihai University.

He has always believed in Wang Hao and hoped that Wang Hao could stay.

The publication of these three papers is enough to convince the school to renew Wang Hao's contract. With Wang Hao's level of ability, there is no problem at all in being an associate professor in two years.

In fact, many people in Xihai University hope that Wang Hao will stay.

Because, ability.

The 23-year-old Ph.D. of Donggang University, being able to be directly retained by Donggang University is enough to show his ability.

As for the so-called 'scientific taint'...

To put it in a big way, it caused a huge loss of funds, but to say it in a small way, it was just a calculation and analysis error.

No one who does research can guarantee 100% that there will be no mistakes.

In addition, how the incident happened and whether Wang Hao is the first responsible person can only be known by those who participated in the research. The reports of the news media and Donggang's external statements are not necessarily credible.

...

On the other side, Wang Hao went home.

Opposite the door, the living room.

Gu Youyou lay expressionlessly on the sofa, nagging all the time, "So, he doesn't even know my name..."

"Li Youyou..."

"At that time, I directly died!"

Standing at the door, Li Qian couldn't help bursting out laughing. She opened the peephole to look out again, and then said, "You just have too many ideas. When I think about it carefully, it seems that I just introduced my name once in the elevator. He remembered It’s normal not to stop.”

"Angry! Angry! Don't even know my name, don't even know my name..."

"Ahhh~~"

Gu Youyou was still a little crazy after thinking about it.

Li Qian said calmly, "Anyway, the case was solved today. He really didn't pay attention to... us." She was going to say 'you', and considering Gu Youyou's feelings, she simply said 'we' and substituted herself go in.

Said a little bit of schadenfreude in my heart.

The handsome guy at the door, a young doctoral lecturer of the same age, must not have liked him, but the other party also didn't like Gu Youyou.

For the past few years in history, for the first time...

Even!

At this time, the elevator and footsteps came out of the corridor, Li Qian immediately looked over through the cat's eyes, turned around and exclaimed excitedly, "He's back, he's back!"

Gu Youyou jumped up in a 'crash', went to the bathroom to freshen up, and wore small leather shoes that squeezed her feet, and stomped on the ground with a 'tap, stomp' sound.

Li Qian waited with a dark face.

Finally Gu Youyou came out, found the books and homework, opened the door and walked to the opposite side.

Wang Hao opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Are you...?"

"Mr. Wang, let's ask a question, can we?" Gu Youyou stared at Wang Hao's eyes and asked seriously with a smile on his face.

They did come to answer questions.

It's just that the mood when facing Wang Hao again is obviously different from yesterday.

"come in!"

Wang Hao was still very enthusiastic towards the students, and after letting the two of them in, he seriously explained what he didn't understand.

Later, the problem of the two was discovered.

Li Qian's foundation is weaker, and she simply can't understand a lot of content; when Gu Youyou encounters difficulties, she can't get her head around them.

In conclusion, both of them are not suitable for mathematics majors.

He also didn't say it outright. After all, most students go to graduate school just to get a diploma and find a job.

After a series of explanations, Gu Youyou and Li Qian got up and left.

Wang Hao didn't go out to send it off either.

Suddenly, Gu Youyou turned her head back again, winked at Wang Hao, and said with a quiet smile, "By the way, my name is Gu Youyou."

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment. Pointing to Li Qian who had just left the house, he said in surprise, "Are you all surnamed Gu? What a coincidence!"

"..."

Gu Youyou squeezed her mouth tightly, stared at Wang Hao for a long time, then took a deep breath, and finally stomped her feet and rushed out of the room.

Wang Hao walked to the door and thought strangely, "What happened just now? Why did she react so much?"

"baffling!"
