I Have a Research Support System

In the afternoon, Xu Qiu copied the graduation project with a USB flash drive and asked Mr. Wei to revise it.

Hey, there are 120 pages in total! Wei Xingsi sighed, then stared at Xu Qiu, and said with great interest, You just put all the work in there.

That's right, Xu Qiu nodded and explained, Including my four early works, they are all about the fullerene system.

What's the matter, do you want to make big news? Wei Xingsi asked with a smile.

I plan to use it for the evaluation of excellence. Xu Qiu responded.

But it's so long, when will we see it? Wei Xingsi swiped the mouse wheel a few times, stopped on the catalog of graduation projects, and said while checking, Have you shown it to other people in the research group?

Xu Qiu gave a hmm and continued: After I finished writing, I first revised it with Han Jiaying, and then asked other members of the research team to help, each responsible for a chapter, and went through it again.

Wei Xing thought for a while, and said, Okay, then I'll focus on the key points, not every sentence carefully.

Xu Qiu nodded to express his understanding. This time is different from the previous SCI paper revision. Mr. Wei is the corresponding author of the published SCI paper. If there are any problems in the article, Mr. Wei is the primary responsible person; For the graduation project, students are more responsible for their own thesis, and the tutor only guides the experiment and article writing. Of course, at Xu Qiu's level, Teacher Wei's guidance is no longer needed.

In fact, even if it is an evaluation expert, when evaluating the quality of an undergraduate graduation project, even if it is only 20 or 30 pages of text, it is impossible to read it all carefully. In most cases, they just look at the title , directory, pictures, format, etc., and then rely on the part of the information seen to form a first impression, and then combine the situation of students answering questions, and finally score the graduation project.

After reading the table of contents, Wei Xingsi then turned to the important parts such as the abstract and conclusion to check. He read it for more than forty minutes and found no obvious problems. He generally commented: The degree of completion is very high, the content of the work is rich, and the format is also good. Very standard.

Okay. Xu Qiu was quite relieved. After all, even Teacher Wei, who is usually strict, gave such a high evaluation, which proved that his writing was indeed very good.

In the end, Wei Xingsi couldn't help himself. He turned to the thank you part, read it for two or three minutes, and couldn't help but nodded and said, The description is very factual.

Xu Qiu scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and complained in his heart: Don't you have any points in your heart?

Returning to 216, Xu Qiu took some time to roughly browse through the graduation design WORD document. After confirming that it was correct, he exported it to PDF format, and then followed the format in the email received before, Graduation Thesis_Name_Student Number_Material Science Department_Materials Chemistry and finally sent the two files to counselor Yu Qiang.

May 21st is the deadline for graduation thesis submission. On May 24th, that is, starting next Monday, the departments will uniformly check the plagiarism of undergraduates' graduation thesis on HowNet. Since this time of the year is During the peak period of graduation, HowNet’s computing power is limited, and it usually takes one to three days to get the results.

After writing their graduation thesis, some people are worried that they will not be able to pass the school’s plagiarism check due to various reasons, so they first go to Taobao to buy a qualification for the plagiarism check of HowNet, and then modify it according to the results of the plagiarism check. The price is not low, and it costs several hundred dollars.

However, in fact, HowNet has not authorized any individuals who are not universities or research institutes to check plagiarism. A large number of Authorized HowNet merchants on Taobao do not comply with the regulations in the strict sense, and some schools do. Constraints from the students, such as setting up regulations, expressly prohibiting duplicate checks in advance, etc., but for the time being, no one cares about those sellers.

In addition to the orthodox channels like HowNet, there are also other cheaper channels, such as PaperPass, etc. However, due to the problems of database and algorithm judgment, there may be a big discrepancy with the results of HowNet’s plagiarism check, even if you get duplicates The rate is only 3%, 5%, and you can only spend money to buy peace of mind. It is possible that the repetition rate here is very low, and you will pass the line at HowNet.

Among these plagiarism checking methods, some are charged according to the number of words, and some are charged according to the number of papers. Considering the high cost of their own plagiarism checks, some students engage in show operations, splicing several papers together, and then Articles are checked for plagiarism.

Of course, Xu Qiu was too lazy to join in the fun and wasted money. His graduation project was written by him, um, copied and translated...

Although some terms in the industry are inevitably repeated, it is almost impossible for the repetition rate to exceed the warning line of schools and departments.

The school has very loose requirements for undergraduates. Only when the repetition rate exceeds 30%, will it be judged as plagiarism.

To be honest, Xu Qiu feels that it is quite difficult to achieve this standard with a repetition rate of more than 30%, as long as it is written by oneself. For a graduation thesis, it is not easy to have a repeat rate of 10% of the test results, and most of them are a few percent.

Tuesday morning, material one 216.

Xu Qiu is going to write the Sino-Swiss cooperation project proposed by Mr. Wei at the group meeting yesterday, which is just a good time to plan and improve the experimental plan afterward.

At this time, Wei Xingsi suddenly appeared at the door, straight to the point, and said directly: Xu Qiu, the review comments for your NC article have returned.

Ah, how's the situation? Xu Qiu asked. He glanced at his phone, and sure enough there was a new email from Teacher Wei. It must have not been directly accepted, nor was it directly rejected. The high probability is a revised opinion. '

Wei Xingsi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, Two positives and one negative, the editor gave a big change.

What about the negative opinion? Xu Qiu asked tentatively.

I took a general look, and it was about Feng Shengdong's TAS analysis, which was criticized by the second reviewer as useless. Wei Xingsi paused, and said, However, the other two opinions are very positive. I have forwarded it to your mailbox, you write it first, and when Feng Shengdong wakes up later, we can discuss it with him.

Okay. Xu Qiu nodded, opened the mailbox, copied the review comments of the article into a Word document, and began to write comments and replies. The Sino-Swiss cooperation project fund matter can only be put on hold temporarily.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xu Qiu has received suggestions for major revisions. The previous articles either suggested direct acceptance or minor revisions.

He carefully read several review comments.

The first reviewer is a familiar domestic template:

Xu Qiu and others reported it... If you consider the following points, I would recommend this article to be published in NC: First...

A few specific comments are painless, including adding descriptions, answering some not difficult questions, citing other people's literature, etc., and no additional supplementary experiments are required.

It has to be said that there are still a lot of researchers in the field of organic photovoltaics in China. Xu Qiu has written several articles, and when peer reviewers return comments, there are Chinese people.

The main reason may be that the research funds in the related fields of the beautiful country have been cut a lot. Many early organic photovoltaic practitioners chose to switch careers, such as perovskite photovoltaics or organic field effect transistors OLED. Mr. Wei is not willing Changed domains, so he ran back from the beautiful country.

The second reviewer, most likely a foreigner, gave a rejection opinion.

Different from the rejection comments received by Xu Qiu’s previous article, the rejection comments this time are very specific, but mainly focus on TAS and TRPL, and other parts of the article, such as device performance and blend morphology , The characterization content of light absorption is briefly mentioned.

Now Xu Qiu has accumulated a lot of knowledge about these mechanisms, so he can still understand the reviewers' opinions. Simply put, he thinks that the theoretical model proposed by Feng Shengdong is unreasonable.

In this regard, Xu Qiu is also very helpless. Theoretical science and experimental science are like literati and warriors.

Literati look down on each other, which is manifested in theoretical research, that is, people who hold different opinions, no one is convinced, everyone thinks that their own theory is the most NB, and other people's theories are rubbish...

For experimental science, take device efficiency as an example. In the same system, my efficiency is 10%, and yours is only 8%. Then I am NB better than you. It is clear at a glance, and no one can find any faults.

This is why Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu have been staring at the world records of various systems, Wenwu is the first, and Wuwu is the second. Well, the good performance of materials is the last word.

The third reviewer, whose review comments seem to be a combination of Chinese and Western, may be a Chinese researcher working abroad, and has not lost some of the language habits retained in the early days.

Several comments made by the reviewers are still very sharp. In addition to some routine questions that need to be answered, some experiments need to be added, including:

It is recommended that the author test the HOMO/LUMO energy level structure of the PCE10 material by himself.

In this regard, because PCE10 is a classic material, Xu Qiu directly quoted the results of other people's literature, and the reviewer's consideration is the HOMO/LUMO energy level difference between the donor/acceptor is mentioned in the following article, if it is not The test results obtained under the same conditions are less accurate.

Xu Qiu thought for a while and accepted the other party's suggestion. This experiment is not difficult to do, and it can be done in Handan Laboratory.

In addition, regarding the results of TAS, the reviewer also said: The intensity unit used in the article is ph/cm2, please state whether it is ph/cm2/pulse or ph/cm2/s.

This is Feng Shengdong's omission. Xu Qiu has never done a TAS test, and he really doesn't know what the specific strength unit is.

On the whole, this reviewer should be a senior expert in the industry, who has dabbled in all aspects of the field of organic photovoltaics.

According to past experience in reviewing manuscripts, Xu Qiu speculates that the editor may have only sent two experts for review at the beginning, one in the direction of materials and the other in the direction of mechanism. As a result, they received one positive and one negative opinion, so they called in another expert. Arbitration by senior experts.

Senior experts issued major revision opinions, so the final editor also gave major revision opinions.

Next, Xu Qiu responded to most of the comments from the first and third reviewers according to his own thinking, and made corresponding changes in the article. As for the comments from the second reviewer, we have to wait In the afternoon, I will make a decision after contacting Mr. Feng Shengdong.
