Chapter 592

After Yang Rui finished his paper and let patent lawyers read it, he sent it out.

Yang Rui chose the target of sending it as "nature", which is the famous "nature".

Compared with cell, nature's public influence is slightly better, not only because it is an old natural science magazine, but also because it covers a wider range. For example, all papers in natural science can be published in nature, which makes its influence and communication more extensive.

Many hot spots have been popular in professional journals for many years, and they are not as popular as a popular science article in nature. Many ordinary newspapers like to report on nature and science, such as the New York Times, which will have an eye-catching popular science article from time to time.

However, in terms of academic nature, cell is more rigorous and professional, while nature and science have higher requirements for originality and novelty, and less requirements for argumentation. With malicious speculation, nature and science first require you to be creative and innovative, because their high transmission rate makes the papers interesting, As for whether the conclusion of the paper is correct or not, although it is important, it is less important than originality and novelty.

Fang Qingzi's paper on STAP cells was published on nature, but cell rejected it. Such a legend can probably divide the two into a basic line. STAP cell was an international hot spot at that time, and nature couldn't wait to publish it. As for cell, it required absolute professionalism. Articles published in cell need to be demonstrated clearly. If Xiaobao Fang Qingzi can't do this, he can only give up.

Of course, the fact that cell is more rigorous and professional does not mean that nature is not rigorous and professional. It's just that they don't have such high requirements for argumentation.

Yang Rui's previous paper on potassium channels was at the top of the academic ecology, so he went to cell. At that time, what he needed most was academic recognition.

This is also true. After receiving the reply from cell, whether it is Peking University or Tsinghua University, whether it is the academic circles in Asia or Europe, all have to recognize Yang Rui's academic strength, which is what young Yang Rui urgently needs.

But PCR doesn't have to be academic.

Its wide application is the key for it to win the Nobel Prize, and its academic index is not high. Because of this, Yang Rui's first choice for publishing papers is not the super academic cell, but nature or science.

In the end, Yang Rui chose "nature" instead of "science" because "science" has a history of rejecting the original author of PCR.

Yang Rui doesn't want to go through this again.

It's a time-consuming work to revise or reject a paper. The most important thing is that if you can't pass the review on time, the invention right of PCR will be controversial.

Yang Rui doesn't want controversy.

His age and education are enough to make him controversial. He doesn't want other disputes.

In fact, Yang Rui is overprotective at this point. However, in the history Yang Rui knows, the publication history of PCR is full of twists and turns - the original author muris's paper was not published on time, so that other people's papers on PCR were published first, and the author was worried that his research results would be robbed

of course, His research results will now be snatched by Yang Rui.

Yang Rui grabs the results of PCR, and he is not satisfied with sending papers.

If nature doesn't recognize the importance of PCR, they are likely to reject it.

Yang Rui is not an old friend of nature, nor is he an old friend of cell. If the manuscript is rejected, he will not call or receive a letter of explanation from the editor. He will only get a standard letter of rejection in a few weeks. In other words, Yang Rui can't explain and persuade the editor. When he receives the letter of rejection, he will get a standard letter of rejection, He has wasted a lot of time.

"I want to give a presentation at an international conference, preferably a high-level academic conference."

Yang Ruisi came to think about it. While Li Wenqiang and others were busy verifying the "golden rule", he found academician CAI and put forward his own requirements.

As far as the current domestic procedure is concerned, it is the fastest to find institutions such as schools.

Inviting foreign scholars to send invitation letters will simplify the procedure, but it will not necessarily speed up the process. Besides, it will take time for foreign scholars to send invitation letters.

However, academician CAI was rather embarrassed.

There are many international conferences every month. In busy months, there are even several. Moreover, biology is a hot topic in scientific research all over the world. We can not only participate in various international conferences on biology, but also count international conferences on organic chemistry.The crux of the problem lies in going abroad, which is a hot spot.

It's not polite to say that in 1984, if any male college student had a place to study abroad and a place to accompany him, he could go all over Beijing and tell the most beautiful female students in any school that "we'll go abroad together". The success rate was 90%. If he went to the United States, the success rate would increase by five percentage points.

It is impossible for university professors to study abroad when they are old. What they are looking at are international conferences and visiting scholars.

Visiting scholar is naturally the best choice for senior professors, but visiting scholar Yang Rui is also helpless.

The original version of PCR is so unpopular.

If it's cloning, let alone cloning a sheep, cloning a sheep embryo, the world's top biological conference, you can get it, and the organizers have to provide all kinds of excellent conditions.

If it's a centennial mathematical problem like Fermat's theorem, it's even more powerful. A group of young or old mathematicians squat in the conference hall and look at you with star eyes.

In 1984, when we looked at the original PCR, we might see some potential, or we might not see the potential, but no one could see the Nobel Prize.

PCR It will take several years to realize the potential of the scientific research, which is very fast. Many studies do not realize the importance until many years after the death of scholars

"It's a great project." Of course, academician Cai didn't see the Nobel Prize. However, the paper in front of him still makes him feel bright, which is the main reason why he is difficult to choose. If he had a paper with an impact factor of about 10, he would not have thought about it for so long.

80 The greatest achievement of Peking University professor in the s may be an article of influence factor 10. Even so, there are so many professors in Peking University. For example, academician Cai himself can produce more than 10 papers every year in his laboratory. 0 papers, such articles, is not worth his exception.

But Yang Rui's paper is more than that.

"Where did you contribute to?" Academician Cai asked.

Yang Rui replied, "nature."

Academician CAI was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "it's OK, en... You want to attend an advanced academic conference and strive to publish it on nature, don't you?"

It can be seen that he thinks there are risks but opportunities for this paper to be published in nature.

For today's Chinese scholars, if they have the opportunity to go to nature, it is certainly worth doing everything possible to increase their chances. Yang Rui's request to attend a high-level academic conference and make a report is also a legitimate reason.

Even academician Cai himself, if he wants to publish an article "nature", it may take several years, and he has to make more efforts in front of the door.

Yang Rui was not easy to explain. He said, "almost. I'm worried about timeliness. As you can see, this paper is more creative. Although I applied for a patent, I'm still afraid of being preempted."

"It's really a risk..." academician Cai pondered for a long time and said, "well, I'll take it to the meeting and try to pass it. Then I'll give you a flexible quota. In this way, you won't offend people."

He is very considerate of Yang Rui. If he deprives a teacher of his qualification in order to participate in the national conference, he will not be able to get rid of the head of the Department, and he will have to throw a brick at Yang Rui.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "it's good to be like this."

"One more question." Academician Cai closed his paper and said, "your signature should be changed. Single first author and corresponding author, no problem, the unit must be Peking University, you can put into your ion channel laboratory. Not in the name of Huarui laboratory. I can pass it. Other members have also said that we can't give Peking University's overseas quota to foreign laboratories. "

Yang Rui was so busy that he didn't notice the big oolong and was speechless.

"This project is set up by Huarui laboratory, carried out in Huarui laboratory, and paid by Huarui Laboratory... If it is signed by Peking University, the other party will not agree." Yang Rui can only take out Huarui laboratory to push the cylinder.

For the sake of "nature", academician Cai nodded slowly and said, "it's true, but if you want Peking University to offer places, you must have Peking University's signature. Well, it's a bit too much for you to write Peking University directly. Well, you either write cooperative experiments, such as the cooperation between Huarui laboratory and ion channel Laboratory of Peking University, or you add a parallel first author, the corresponding author and the first author are still you, and the company signs Huarui Laboratory. In this way, we all know that you did the project. Juxtapose the first author, write it behind you and sign it as Peking University. This is a better way to operate. I'll help you find a leader to sign it. It's not unusual to change a quota for going abroad. Hua Rui laboratory side, you also ask them to understand, you are the person in charge of the laboratory, should also be able to convince themYang Rui didn't know how to respond to the academic transaction.

As far as the heart is concerned, Yang Rui has no moral cleanliness. China has always paid attention to egalitarianism. Any migrant worker who does something higher than washing test tubes dares to say that he has made a collective contribution. At some point, the leaders of other people can get a place to go abroad to participate in the conference, and strive for favorable conditions for the publication of papers. To say, it is also very hard for ordinary school leaders to strive for a place to go abroad.

However, academician Cai could not see the real value of PCR, but Yang Rui was clear.

This is a Nobel prize level paper. Although the university leaders can't get the Nobel Prize, if they sign a Nobel prize level paper, they will change the quota for going abroad. That's too much!

More importantly, Peking University should participate in the signature, which will seriously affect the patent of PCR.

But if Yang Rui can't go abroad to attend the conference, another rejection of nature will seriously affect Yang Rui's right of discovery.

At this time, the development company of the original PCR, west company, already has the rudiment of PCR. At present, they do not attach great importance to PCR. However, once they find that the PCR patent is being applied, they will speed up the project and apply for the patent at the same time in order to reduce the loss.

In this way, the patent and discovery rights of PCR will also be seriously affected.

Just like the case of streptomycin, I'm exhausted in the case, and I don't know how many stories there are in the end.

When it comes to court, what the legal profession demands is not truth and fairness.

Yang Rui is in a dilemma.
