I Have a Research Support System

Chapter 68 Revising Articles (Part 2)

Wei Xingsi dragged the mouse to read the summary sentence by sentence.

After reading the first two sentences, he nodded and said:

Not bad, the writing is okay.

At the third sentence, he frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

Isn't it better to bring the latter part to the front in this sentence?

Well, indeed. Xu Qiu replied.

After Mr. Wei corrected it, he continued to look down.

He looked at the fourth sentence for a while, and added an adjective to the sentence.

The fifth sentence is fine.

At the sixth and seventh sentences, he frowned again and said:

The connection between these two sentences is not very good, there is a logical gap, don't you think?

Xu Qiu thought for a while and said:

um, yes.

It is true that the logic between these two sentences is not smooth, but he didn't know how to change it for a while.

While he was struggling, Teacher Wei began to type and said:

Wouldn't it be better to change it this way?

Uh-huh.

I have to say that after the revision, it does read much more smoothly.

Teacher Wei laughed when he saw the last sentence, and said:

Look at the use of this word, can you use outstanding to describe your efficiency here?

Your efficiency is only 8%. If you use this word, others will think you have achieved 11% or 12%. You can use high here.

Xu Qiu also smiled awkwardly. He used this word in other people's articles.

I thought it was very domineering, so I used it directly, but I didn't expect it to be a joke.

The abstract is only one paragraph, less than 200 words, but it took nearly half an hour to change.

Teacher Wei moved the page to the author of the paper and said:

You change the few questions I said before, let Wu Feifei read it first after the revision, and I will add her name.

OK.

He put Wu Feifei's name in Sanzuo and said:

By the way, I have to draw a TOC, which is the summary of the picture version, and then give it a description within 60 words.

OK.

...

The two returned to room 216.

Sister, I know how there are more than 40 versions of your previous article. Xu Qiu said.

Yeah, every time I show it to him, he always picks out a bunch of questions. I should be the best writer in the research group. Chen Wanqing said:

It is said that Duan Yun's article has more than 20 versions, and Wu Feifei's has only about 10. When I came to my place, I directly changed it more than 40 times.

Maybe I have to change it more than 40 times. This time, he picked out so many problems. Xu Qiu said.

These questions you have are minor ones. This article is probably similar to Wu Feifei's. It won't be changed too many times. Chen Wanqing said:

I changed so many times before, mainly because there were many grammatical problems, such as incorrect use of person, number and tense.

I hope it can be fixed quickly. Xu Qiu said:

By the way, how to draw TOC? And what about the description later?

This kind of small article TOC does not need to be too exaggerated, just take the J-V characteristic curve directly, and insert a picture in the blank space in the middle, just the one where you bend the substrate with tweezers, remember to make a TOC picture It's square. Chen Wanqing said:

As for the following description, it is simpler. In one sentence, we use the PEN flexible substrate to prepare an inverted solar cell device. Based on the photoelectric properties of the two benchmark systems, they are XX and YY, and that's enough.

Sister's analysis is clear and logical, Xu Qiu said, If the thesis is written in Chinese, I think senior sister won't be so troubled.

Yes, it's a disadvantage to do scientific research with poor English. Chen Wanqing said.

...

After spending two hours, Xu Qiu revised the article according to Teacher Wei's suggestion.

He glanced in the direction of the laboratory, Wu Feifei was doing experiments, it's not good to disturb her now.

He had no choice but to find a few Wiely journals and compare them to see if he had any other format problems.

Unexpectedly, he really found some problems with the format of several references. It seems that the ENDNOTE software is still not smart enough and needs to be checked manually.

Finally, Xu Qiu saw Wu Feifei come out of the laboratory after finishing the experiment.

Duan Yun followed, waving his arms and cheering, Eat.

It turned out that it was half past five.

That can only be said after dinner.

…………

After the four of them went to the cafeteria to have dinner together, they all walked towards the first floor of the materials.

Xu Qiu was a little puzzled, because the postgraduate dormitory was very close to the cafeteria, so the other three would sometimes go back to the dormitory to rest after eating, but today they all chose to go back to the office by coincidence.

Go back to room 216.

Xu Qiu handed the U disk to Wu Feifei and said:

Sister Wu Feifei, Mr. Wei asked you to help me read my article when you have time.

Okay, Wu Feifei took the USB flash drive, directly copied the draft file to the desktop and opened it.

Should I watch it now, don't I need to rest? Xu Qiu asked.

Tomorrow is the first group meeting at the beginning of school. I need to prepare the PPT. Let me take some time to help you read it, Wu Feifei said:

By the way, did Teacher Wei read it in detail?

He mainly looked at the pictures, carefully edited the abstract, and only looked at the format in other places. Xu Qiu said.

Okay, then I will mainly read the text for you. I don't know the specific content of the experiment, so I mainly look at the expression and format. Wu Feifei said.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Feifei found Xu Qiu with a USB flash drive and said:

Xu Qiu, your article is very well written.

Basically, I don’t use it much. I have highlighted the places that I think are problematic in yellow. You can refer to them. There are not many, just five or six places.

Reading your articles is much easier than reading Chen Wanqing's.

Hey, changing her article at that time made me very tired.

Chen Wanqing was sitting next to her, and she wanted to refute after hearing it.

But remembering that Wu Feifei helped her correct it all afternoon before she managed to correct it, she lowered her head weakly and did not speak.

Xu Qiu referred to Wu Feifei's opinion and iterated the article version to the third edition.

In the evening, he and Chen Wanqing took the latest version and went to Teacher Wei.

Have you shown it to Wu Feifei?

seen it already.

What did she say?

She said that the writing was not bad, and there was basically no need to change it, and then picked out a few problems in expression, and I corrected them according to her opinions.

Her evaluation is quite high, okay, let me take a look.

Wei Xingsi clicked on the file, paused at the title for a long time, and said:

Are you sure you want to use this title?

'Organic photovoltaic devices based on PEN flexible substrates achieve up to 8% efficiency'.

Without waiting for Xu Qiu's reply, he said to himself again:

It looks okay, so use this.

…………

Afterwards, Xu Qiu and Teacher Wei went back and forth for another five rounds, and at the end, Xu Qiu went alone, and Chen Wanqing had to prepare the PPT for the next day's group meeting.

After the last round of corrections, Teacher Wei said:

That's it for today, you read it again, if there is no problem, just write a cover letter, and we will vote for it tomorrow.
