Chapter 151

"A paper is generally read by two or three reviewers. Some journals publish it with the consent of the majority, while others publish it with the consent of all. Therefore, the reviewer can not completely decide whether the journal will be published or not. " Yang Ruiting gave a serious explanation.

Tian Shichang and other talents, no matter how many they are, whether they are good or bad at English learning, all rush to read the letter.

Yang Rui was a little complacent, and he was pressed down in an instant, because he knew that it was quite easy to be a reviewer of foreign journals. When he goes to graduate school, anyone who publishes a paper in a foreign journal may invite you to be a peer reviewer and publish three papers. This is a kind of voluntary work and a way to improve the level of research, which can also be rejected.

From the perspective of journal agencies, it is impossible for them to recruit a large number of researchers to review their manuscripts. Journal editors usually only have basic scientific literacy, and at most have a better understanding of some aspects.

The reviewer system ensures the style and level of journals. But just because it is voluntary work, journals often need a large number of reviewers to ensure that the manuscript is reviewed on time. It is a long-term experience to invite researchers who have published articles in this journal to be reviewers of their own journals.

The higher the level of a journal, the more high-level reviewers are needed. Biochemistry system ecology is not a good journal, but the authors who can publish papers here are not the majority in any country.

Of course, the journal does not rely entirely on reviewers. They will also invite well-known experts in the industry to be the editorial board members of the journal.

Compared with the reviewers, the number of editorial board members is much less and the power is much greater.

In many journals, editorial board members and chief editors are the ultimate decision-makers whether a paper can be published or not. In the Internet age, when the paper review status can be queried at any time, we often see the status of "editorial board review", which usually means that the paper is in the final review status.

In China, due to the different national conditions, high-level journals can often invite high-level researchers, at least high-level administrative researchers. Therefore, the early domestic journals can be said to be the editorial board and editor audit system.

In the 21st century, except for a few powerful journals, most Chinese journals have no academic reading value. Researchers will not contribute to those journals with bad reputation, unless it is for the purpose of mixing titles.

However, it is precisely because of the editorial board members and editors in China that the name of "reviewer" has become very glorious.

Even in 2014, some professors and experts often add the words "specially invited reviewer" or "reviewer" to their profiles.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the reviewers are invited or not. To be a reviewer of a journal just means that someone has published several papers in the journal.

Of course, using reviewers to describe this kind of behavior is indeed better than "publishing a certain paper in a certain journal".

The name of the reviewer of nature is indeed a high-end bull. If he is the editorial board member of XX magazine, he can add another bull.

Yang Rui is going to explain it, but he doesn't think it's possible to talk about it. The buffet is not necessarily organized by him. People spontaneously talk about their favorite topics. Students, however, are obviously more willing to confuse reviewers with editorial board members.

"We can publish papers one day." He Cheng and Yao Chi, who often work as experimental assistants, get close to Yang Rui and look excited.

Yang Rui shrugged: "when you are a sophomore or a junior, you can try it."

"Will you be able to examine our manuscript then?" He Cheng is so excited that he seems to be publishing his paper now.

Yang Rui showed his waist and laughed: "it's possible. You, anyone can recommend me as your reviewer. However, it is generally better for those who have similar research fields to make recommendations, so as to ensure that the recommended people can understand your paper. Whether the editor arranges the reviewers according to the recommendation is not certain. In addition, an article usually has three reviewers for comments. "

"Are foreign journals so strict?"

"It's not strict. In fact, if you are really a reviewer, you still have some room to operate. At least you won't be rejected directly. If you ask some small questions that are easy to modify, you may increase the chance of passing the revision."

He Chengting's misty, just nodded: "I'll write you as a recommended reviewer in the future."

"If you write biological papers in the future, you can." With a smile, Yang Rui said, "the next step is the pre selection. You have less time. You can reduce the number of times you come to the laboratory."

Pre selection is the selection test before the college entrance examination. Since 1980, seven provinces and autonomous regions in China have adopted the pre election system, which has been expanded to 13 in 1981.The purpose of the preliminary examination is to reduce the number of people who take part in the college entrance examination, so that the vast majority of the examination rooms in the country are concentrated in the areas above the county level, strengthen the management, and implement the single person, single table and single line.

In short, the primary election is to reduce the number of people participating in the college entrance examination and reduce the pressure of organizing the college entrance examination.

As far as the whole country is concerned, only half of the candidates can pass the pre-election. As far as the situation of Xibao middle school is concerned in the past years, it is good that half of the students in Huilu class can pass the pre-election. The new year's graduates of senior two may be wiped out in the primary election.

It is also from 80 to 81, the pre election has become a sign of whether students repeat. If the students who have passed the pre election fail to pass the college entrance examination, they will consider whether to repeat the course, while the students who have not passed the pre election will usually give up to repeat the course.

After all, it's a waste of time for a student who is not allowed to apply for the college entrance examination to continue to repeat.

It is also because of the pre election policy. When we look up the admission rate of universities after the resumption of the college entrance examination, we will find that since 1981, the admission rate of universities has been greatly improved, quickly exceeding 10%, and once reaching 20%.

However, if we take into account the existence of the pre election, we can know how much water there is in the university admission rate. In 1983, there were about 4.5 million senior high school students in China. Only 1.87 million of them participated in the college entrance examination through the pre election, and the number of them enrolled was 320000. The so-called admission rate of 17% is actually calculated by the number of students enrolled and the number of students after the pre election.

Because the primary election is also a veto system, every high school attaches great importance to it, and Yang Rui is no exception.

No matter how great the potential of the students in Ruixue group is, if they can't pass the preliminary election, they can't take part in the college entrance examination, and the efforts in the second half of the year will be meaningless.

Yang Rui is not sure how many members of Ruixue group can pass the pre selection. Now he can only reduce the non learning burden of Ruixue group members as far as possible.

Although he Cheng likes the laboratory, the college entrance examination is obviously more important. He scratched his head and said, "we have less time to go to the laboratory. What can we do if the laboratory is too busy?"

"Didn't I abduct a college girl the other day? After two days to find one or two experimental assistant, it's almost enough, you review at ease Doing experiment assistant is a good experience for science learning, but it's meaningless to keep doing it.

He Cheng's eyes changed several times when he heard the word "Guai". Although he often heard Yang Rui's special words, he was still not so adapted.

Huang Ren heard them talk about the preliminary election. He ran over with a piece of bacon and asked, "brother Rui, many people ask when we are going to prepare for the preliminary election. When are we going to prepare for the preliminary election?"

"Do you need to prepare?" Yang Rui asked: "last year, half of the students in our school's return class passed the preliminary election. With the present results, I think that if we review normally, we should be able to pass the preliminary election."

Huang Ren hesitated for a moment and objected: "last year we specially reviewed for two months, so many people passed the preliminary election. Now the results are much better. But if we don't review, in case someone fails in the exam, it will be troublesome."

"I've read the monthly exam papers, no problem." Yang Rui is quite confident in his monthly exam paper. One of the responsibilities of tutors is to judge the level and progress of candidates.

Huang Ren is not at ease, low voice way: "somebody oneself began to review for preselection, want to say?"

"Review for pre selection? Review what. "

"That is to take out the previous papers and review them according to the preselected outline."

"What a waste of time is it to look at the preselection outline?" Yang Rui said: "it's not good to do something else in this time?"

"If you can't pass the preliminary election, you will be out of the college entrance examination this year. You can't help worrying. " Huang Ren is very understanding, and asked in a low voice: "do you think people with lower scores can also pass the preliminary examination?"

80 In fact, the difficulty of the preselection in the S is not high. If the goal is to be qualified, the average score of the HKCEE will be almost passed.

In the era when Yang Rui was a tutor, the students of key high schools basically got a in the HKCEE. After one grade, a total of several students' single course would be C, and the students who got D would be unique. Even in ordinary high schools, the HKCEE has never been a problem.

However, in the 1980s, the average level of students was far from so strong. If we take the examination papers of later generations to the present, half of the students will have difficulty in graduation.

The results of Ruixue group are far above the average level, but those who fall behind always have all kinds of worries.

Yang Rui thought about it and said, "normal review, people with lower grades can also pass the pre selection. I did the pre selection test last year. It's very simple."

At this point, Yang Rui felt that it was not good for Huang Ren to spread his words again. He simply clapped his hands to attract people's attention and said, "I've seen your monthly exam results last time, and they are very good. I think that even if we have the preliminary exam tomorrow, we can easily pass it all. Therefore, there is no need to waste time to review for the preliminary examination, and don't disturb the rhythm of review and keep the previous progress. Our goal is the college entrance examination. ""Can't you do without any preparation?"

"Huilu class and sophomore seem to have begun to review the preliminary examination."

"The first middle school of the county will review the preliminary exam next week. Can we not review it?"

Many people, there will always be a variety of ideas, Yang Rui is not satisfied, casual explanation. The function of buffet, forum or tea party is the same. Conversation is also a way to strengthen contact. Yang Rui is naturally the core of Ruixue group, but it is not a strict organization after all. Yang Rui is not prepared and can not use hierarchical system to restrain it.

Members of the Ruixue group have a strong trust in Yang Rui. After listening to his explanation, people gradually feel at ease. At least in terms of learning, Yang Rui has considerable foresight.

However, when the news that Ruixue group is not going to review the preliminary election spreads, other people in the school will not recognize Yang Rui's judgment.
