Chapter 472

"The paper is good. I have to read it for a while." Professor Fu read the quotation carefully and sat down.

There are only 20 pages in the text, which is much more difficult to read than short stories with multiple pages. Professor Fu is an expert in the same field. That's right. We have to read it bit by bit to understand the content of the article.

Zhong Zhiwen, the experimental dog standing behind him, was miserable. Because of his poor English, his reading of Yang Rui's paper is similar to that of Tianshu. He naturally knows ordinary English words, but in such a paper, ordinary English words are just like embellishment.

In fact, there are not a few people who encounter the same problems.

At the beginning of Professor Fu, many of the teachers and researchers in the Department of biology around him asked for a book to read by the basketball court.

However, most people can't watch it for a few minutes before they go outdoors.

Confident English level is good, and can understand English paper has no inevitable connection. Many students with CET-4 level who can only order with "this, this, thank you" in foreigners' restaurants can read English papers at a glance. In a way, papers are more like slang in the scientific community, with a set format.

If you are a student who has received sufficient thesis training, when you read a thesis, you can browse it if you want, and skim it if you want. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the rare words. If you don't understand them, you can check them, and it doesn't take much effort.

However, students who have not received enough thesis training are just like little gangsters who have never entered a serious gang. Even if they memorize all kinds of rare words, they are still shy when they come to the big stage.

Thirty years later, the slightly normal professors in key universities are all killed out of thousands of troops. I don't know how much competition they have experienced. It's still easy to train the students' academic ability. It's a little more difficult for the graduate tutors of the second edition, but if they just arrange the training, there's no problem.

Professors and researchers from top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University are even more powerful. Although the "Yangtze River scholars Award Program" and the "Thousand Talents Program" have been criticized for many years, they have also brought in a large number of overseas talents for the backward China, who may not be the top in the world, However, compared with the scholars of inbreeding in China, it is also a breath of fresh air.

But in the 1980s, that was not the case at all. Today's associate professors in their 40s and professors in their 50s are young. But people in their 40s were born in the 40s, studied in the 50s, and went to university in the 60s. At that time, the teaching order had been completely disrupted. Whether they could learn skills, or even contact with the world's most advanced scientific research progress, was basically based on self-study, which was inefficient.

They were born in the 1920s and 1930s, grew up and studied in the war years, and then faced with the situation of a hundred wastes waiting for prosperity in the early days of the people's Republic of China. In terms of professional technology, these scholars were given full opportunities to build numerous new factories, technological transformation, bridge building and road paving, Let almost all college students have the opportunity to be independent. However, basic science is not only about technology, and the high academic requirements are often more hidden. When they have laid a solid foundation and become middle-aged, they begin to radiate academic spring, the academic soil has been acidified.

At present, better professors at Peking University, such as Tang Jizhi, went to the Southwest Associated University when they were studying, visited the Soviet Union after the founding of the people's Republic of China, and maintained at least a limited amount of scientific research in the past ten years. Only in this way can they remain in the world's mainstream scientific research world.

Most of those who can't persist, can't learn by themselves, or have bad luck, can only play in the domestic research circle. Occasionally, they will be complacent by doing some world-class domestic blank repetitive research.

If it's the study of culture, history and geography, it's just the pure theoretical study of mathematics and physics. Biology, a natural science with money, can only give opportunities to a few people, such as poor China, rich China, the United States, Japan and Europe.

As for political cadres such as president Liu, it's almost up to a few pages to judge whether a paper is good or bad.

Only a few teachers or researchers can read Yang Rui's thesis seriously.

That is to say, in Peking University, if you change the Biology Department of a local university, you may even save money for subscribing to cell. Anyway, no one reads it. It's better to order more copies of people's daily to make people happy.

Yang Rui sat on the table without any pressure. The paper has been published. For him, the most difficult part has been completed, and the rest is just the difference of how many flowers are added to the brocade.

At this time of the May 4th basketball court, the atmosphere began to become strange.

On the one hand, just after the end of the basketball game, a lot of hormones and sweat were released, leaving hundreds of students who were still in a bad mood.On the other hand, the open basketball court surrounded by tables, chairs and benches was filled by curious people, people next to people, people crowded, but it was quiet like an exam.

Although they are still cheering for the strength of muscles, in the final analysis, what students believe in most is brain power.

The students of Peking University are all the beneficiaries of knowledge. If there is a knowledge religion, the students of Peking University are devout believers, even if they are not crazy believers.

The silent environment is not only uncomfortable, but also arouses the students' strong curiosity.

"Can I have a look at it?" A student squeezed in and broke the silence.

"Xu Anqing? Well, here's another one Yang Rui gave him a single copy.

Xu anqing gently said thanks and looked down.

The basketball court is quiet again, only the rustle of the wind.

Like Professor Fu, Xu anqing also wants to know the gap between the two sides. He can't wait to open his paper, stares at the first author and corresponding author "Rui Yang" for a few seconds, and then reads on quickly.

As the provincial champion of the college entrance examination, Xu Anqing's road is more smooth than most people. Academically speaking, he joined Richard's experiment in his freshman year, which can be said to be ahead of all the students in Peking University.

Like any other resource intensive industry, academia is a world in which the strong are stronger and the stronger the stronger.

The best students can get the best education, the best education can get the most resources, the most resources can get the most results, and the most results in turn stimulate more investment.

At Peking University, ordinary students usually don't come into contact with research work until they are in their junior or senior year. In the next year or two, they have to do their best to get to the paper they want. The level of the paper, in fact, largely depends on the level of the research group they join.

The reason why Ivy League university is prosperous is not only because they can choose the best students, but also because they can provide the best education, so as to open a greater distance between the best students and the second best students.

Xu anqing has got almost the best conditions. If... Richard's laboratory develops smoothly, he will get the qualification of studying abroad at the University of California Berkeley. In the field of biology, the graduates of the University of California Berkeley can undoubtedly compete for the best institutions or companies and get the greatest attention and salary.

Even if he doesn't become king or saint in the end, Xu anqing can easily become a gold collar in the field of biological sciences. If he doesn't want to stay in the United States, many domestic universities and research institutions will sing "Beijing welcomes you" to take him back. By the way, he will offer tens of millions of home expenses and millions of dollars of research funds every year.

The failure of Richard's laboratory was a heavy blow to Xu Anqing, who was five or six years ahead of the other students and two or three years ahead of them.

However, leading is leading after all. The tiring experience in Richard's laboratory brought Xu anqing great confidence. He thought that he would still have the chance to catch up with Yang Rui and close the gap again after several years of hard work.

Until the paper "cell" appeared on the basketball court.

This guy actually received the paper "cell" while playing basketball. Xu anqing didn't know that he should criticize him for wasting his time? Or envy his good luck

"It should be good luck... Maybe, maybe a little bit of material, but making data so easily, there must be a element of luck..." Xu anqing looked at the paper and commented on it in his heart.

He participated in the scientific research competition of Richard's laboratory all the way, and could not be more familiar with mutation genes and testing the function of potassium channel.

However, Xu Anqing's confidence was defeated bit by bit by familiar and unfamiliar experimental process, skillful calculation skills and mature theoretical logic.

It's also crushing Professor Fu's confidence.

The paper is a collection of slang to outsiders, but it should be concise to insiders.

Professor Fu is working on RNA precursors, and his English level is also up to standard. It is not difficult to understand Yang Rui's paper.

Can understand, will feel that this project is really difficult to do.

It's hard to see the instruments and materials used, and I feel distressed; It's hard to see the experimental process that obviously needs trial and error, and I feel that my hand hurts; It's hard to see a lot of data operations and theoretical derivation, and I feel headache.

"It can be made in half a year?" Every time Professor Fu looks at a few pages of his paper, the problem comes to mind.

At the beginning of getting the paper, Professor Fu wanted to give it to Yang Rui, but after reading the paper, the fire accumulated by Professor Fu for several times was almost exhausted.Only intense jealousy is burning.

"If only this paper belonged to me..." at the end of the paper, looking at hundreds of references, Professor Fu was already full of reverie.

"Here comes Dean Cai!" A exclamation broke the silence on the court and made the comments come out

"President Cai is a member of the academic department of the Academy of Sciences. Why did he come here in person?" The students in the outer circle can't see the paper itself, so they have to face the people.

The biology students present also immediately gave the best answer: "because this is cell."

"Members of the academic department don't know if they have ever published cell."

"President CAI has published nature, and the influence factor of nature is high enough."

"What are the impact factors?" The basketball team guard from ethnology puts the ball on his shoulder and rolls it left and right, which perfectly interprets the spirit of leisure.

Influenced by the previous atmosphere, the biology students solemnly explained: "the impact factor of a journal is the sum of the citations of all papers in the past two years of a journal divided by the total number of papers published in the past two years."

"Oh..."

"The impact factor of" cell "is more than 30 all the year round. However, when a paper like" cell "is published, the important factor is not the number of citations. A good paper can get a lot of citations in" cell "

"Isn't the impact factor an average?"

"That's because cell doesn't care so much about the influence factors, so it often has one or two pages of short papers. You see the thick booklet Yang Rui took out. It's not difficult to cite more than 50 papers like this. Do you know the number of citations of the papers that President Cai published in nature that year?"

"How much?"

"It was more than 500 in that year, and then there were about 100 citations every year, which lasted for several years." The boy of biology department sighed: "in my life, if there is a paper with more than 100 citations, I will die without regret!"
