In front of the camera, Yang Rui tore open the international mail wrapped in kraft paper.

It's "you mean, my paper might have been cited?" Yang Rui's eyes brightened, but he turned around, turned his back to the camera and said, "it's too short. It's only been published for a long time《 The papers in cell have been written for one or two years

Facing the camera, Xu Zhengping said calmly: "although many papers have to be written for several years, before they are published, they don't know how many times they need to be revised. With each revision, new citations and references will naturally be added. Otherwise, the papers two years ago will still use the knowledge of two years ago, and the news will become old news."

Yang Rui nodded approvingly. Before his paper was published, he also had a minor revision. This was the happiest reviewer's opinion besides direct publication. Even so, a minor revision was still noisy. Professor Cai even gave him 600000 yuan in cash.

I'm afraid there are those authors who need to overhaul, those who need to explain, and those who do experiments again. In the process of writing a paper, adding one or two citations is nothing.

On the contrary, those papers with few references or old references are often rated low by reviewers. The worst thing is that it's not easy to look at the literature, or to read the literature well. After all, they don't see the literature in a certain corner, and then they do experiments. Sometimes, some of their middle conclusions have been done. In other words, they could have quoted other people's papers and saved a lot of time and energy, but they did it again, They should also be regarded as idiots and idiots. If they are lucky, they will be asked to revise and add references. If they are not lucky, they will be rejected directly.

President Liu listened to their reply, but he was more excited than Yang Rui. He didn't care about his old waist or the camera. He stamped his foot and said, "what are you talking about? Let's see what's written in it."

"Oh." Yang Rui opened the new moon summary which was printed out purely, sorted by alphabet, and soon found his own paper.

On the right side of the paper are two numbers, "3" and "11".

"3 refers to the current citation of 3, 11 refers to the next three issues of citation of 11, and there are several blanks behind, which should be the total number of citations of several databases, such as the Science Citation Index (SCI) and Engineering Index (EI) of the United States, which should not be counted now." Xu Zhengping is half explaining and half reciting. His tone is quite strange.

Look at President Liu again, he has already opened his mouth and gasped regardless of his image.

He was totally unaware of the change in his appearance.

Zhao Lei whispered: "excuse me, the number of citations is 3 and 1, is it more or less?"

"Less than a month after the publication of a paper, there are 3 citations in cell in the current period and 11 citations in the next three issues. Do you think it is more or less?" Xu Zhengping asked.

Zhao Lei has an excellent image and temperament. When interviewing male subjects, she doesn't even need to sacrifice her identity as a TV reporter. She can go to no disadvantage. At this time, she was asked rudely by Xu Zhengping, but she was a little stunned.

Fortunately, she has the experience of dealing with emergencies. She adjusts her mood in a flash, smiles again, points to the camera and says, "can you introduce us to the audience?"

She didn't say whether she understood it or not, so she didn't have to argue again.

Xu Zhengping glanced at the camera lens, pondered for a moment, and said: "citation refers to the knowledge involved in a paper, which was originally created by a reference. The author lists his references in the references after the paper. One citation means that a paper uses the knowledge in Yang Rui's paper, or, A quotation proves that Yang Rui helped a scholar solve a difficult problem. "

"So, three quotations show that Yang Rui helped the three scholars solve the problem?" Zhao Lei began to put on an interview posture.

"There are more than three, of course." Xu Zhengping said: "these three citations refer specifically to the citations of cell and the next issue. That is to say, three authors who are going to publish papers in cell have used Yang Rui's papers in just one month. In the next three issues, the number of citations will increase to 11 or even more. Ah... In a word, this situation is rare, which proves that Yang Rui's paper has great potential... "

"It shows that in the next few years, Yang Rui's total number of citations will be greatly increased." President Liu has the feeling of being a housekeeper of a large family.

"Can you give us an image comparison? How many citations can the average college student have

"Ordinary college students?" Xu Zhengping laughs, and Dean Liu can't help smiling.

Zhao Lei is actually knowledgeable. Although she wrote a graduation thesis at Columbia University, she published it and knew everything.Yang Rui's performance has long been out of the scope of ordinary college students. In fact, few domestic graduate students can publish papers in sci-level journals. Cell is more like a fantasy. If not, why report with a camera.

Zhao Lei was also worried for a moment and said something stupid, but she was blushed by Xu Zhengping and President Liu.

She took a deep breath, so easy to calm down, and then continued to interview: "as far as I know, ordinary papers, the number of citations is often only one digit, is that so?"

TV viewers don't know how much to quote and what level it is, they have to have a reference for comparison.

"It's good for an ordinary paper to have three or four citations. I'm talking about ordinary researchers, not ordinary students. It's normal for students to have no citations in their papers." Xu Zhengping stood in front of Yang Rui and helped him block the danger and the limelight.

If other young people were not happy at the moment, Yang Rui didn't want to be in the limelight and stood behind in silence, not worried at all.

Zhao Lei nodded and said: "so, Yang Rui's three quotations..."

"Is 3 cell references."

"Yes, three cell citations are beyond the level of ordinary researchers?"

"It can't be compared. I say that there are three or four citations in the papers of ordinary researchers. What I mean is the citations accumulated in their papers over several years, decades or even decades. According to such a standard, Yang Rui's current number of citations should be 11, and it is growing rapidly. Think about it. There is such data in a month. What will happen in a few years or a decade? " Xu Zhengping said so and thought so.

Zhao Lei asked a few more questions and interviewed Yang Rui again. Seeing that he was not in the mood to speak, she stopped shooting.

Now the camera belt is not cheap, it can save a little.

Yang Rui himself was in shock.

Zhao Lei asks questions from the perspective of ordinary people. Naturally, it's empty and simple, but Yang Rui knows what it means to have so many quotations in a month.

This is the rhythm of fire!

CELL In other words, the average number of cited papers published here in the past two years is more than 30.

Although he was sure that his papers were above the average, in the first month, the number of citations from cell alone reached 11, which completely surprised Yang Rui.

You know, the citation peak of a paper is usually three months or even half a year after it is published. It can be said that most of the papers that cite it have not been finished.

This is also the advantage of Yang Rui's paper on potassium channel two years in advance. Two years in advance means that they have to solve more problems. Some references from similar projects that are in progress will fall to Yang Rui's papers, and those project teams may face dissolution or great changes.

"It's magnificent." Xu Zhengping stood behind, holding the pure English "crescent summary", as if sighing and commenting.
