Chapter 883

What kind of experience is elder brother a big bull in academia?

This may not be accurate enough. Maybe we should put it another way, that is, what kind of experience is it to have a brother who has won the Nobel Prize and the fields prize?

If this problem arises from coercion, Xiaotong feels that he must be the one who has the most say.

Staring at the email from the reviewer in the mailbox, she rubbed her eyes incredulously.

After confirming that she didn't read it wrong, she held the mouse and clicked on the email. With incredible excitement, she carefully read the reviewer's opinions from beginning to end.

Surprise is inevitable.

This is one of the nine top journals of economics, Econometrica! In horizontal comparison, it is like the mathematics Yearbook and physics quick review (PRL).

Even her tutor, Professor foster, wanted to publish an article in the top magazine, which was not an easy thing. After all, the direction of macro-economy is not so easy to produce results, and it is not very competitive in comprehensive economic journals.

Now, however, the manuscript she delivered on the third day after Christmas received a letter from the reviewer just after the new year's holiday, which is unique in her previous contributions.

For a newcomer, it's hard to imagine!

Generally speaking, as reviewers are volunteers, they have no direct benefit to reviewers except for their academic qualifications.

In particular, for some scholars who are already small and famous, there is no need to accumulate academic capital by reviewing their manuscripts. It is likely that only when they have a very free time, they will turn over the papers to be reviewed.

Before that, Xiaotong was even ready to wait until the sixth week. Unexpectedly, the second week was not over, so she received an email reply from the reviewer.

Quickly beyond those patterned phrases, Xiao Tong looked directly at the review comments.

[the mathematical model used in the paper is very interesting, but there are still some small flaws in the economic theory part ]

review comments: it is recommended to modify! ]

“…… Brother is too strong. "

Gaped and opened his mouth. Xiao Tong let out this exclamation after a long time.

As a little transparency in the economic world, this is probably the fastest time that the reviewer replies to all her submitted papers

In my heart, I silently said thanks to my elder brother. At the same time, Xiao Tong also secretly encouraged himself in my heart.

One day, she will become an independent scholar.

Just like her brother

It has to be said that the power of example is very strong.

With a goal in mind, I couldn't even take the time off. I finished the revision of the paper according to the reviewer's opinion. Xiaotong uploaded the revised manuscript again while keeping the mathematical model and algorithm intact.

"It's probably OK this time, isn't it?"

With a long breath, Xiao Tong took the graduation application out of the drawer. After hesitating for a while, she made up her mind and went to Professor Foster's office.

Although it's nice to have a reliable brother to rely on, and the elder brother always helps her, but sure enough, she hopes to accomplish these things by herself.

The only thing is that she and the boat are carved in one mold.

That's what you can accomplish by yourself. You won't bother others.

Of course, if you encounter something you can't solve, these two brothers and sisters will never be polite to others.

At most, I will return the favor later.

……

There was a knock at the door.

He stopped his pen and looked at the student entering the office. Professor foster, middle-aged, put on a gentle smile and looked at her kindly.

"How is it? Have you thought about it? "

It seems that senior sister Ansley didn't betray her. She told Professor foster that her intention had been decided.

Although even if we say it, we can't talk about selling

After all, these are the things that have been decided.

Standing at Professor Foster's desk, Xiao Tong took a deep breath quietly and said calmly.

"I have finished my graduation thesis and contributed it to Econometrica."

Professor foster, who was caught off guard by this sentence and didn't expect her to finish her graduation thesis, opened his glasses in surprise.

"Wait Have you finished? You are sure to follow my request and adopt -- "

Xiao Tong nodded in response to Professor Foster's surprised sight, and continued.

"At your request, I used the Bewley model to analyze the impact of welfare policies on the macro economy Although it's an improved model. "Looking at her student, Professor foster suddenly felt that she was a little strange.

When he arranged this task, it was clear that he had made preparations that she would not be able to make. But unexpectedly, she solved it?

Mathematically, maybe she asked for help from the land boat

But in economic theory, her talent is a little more than he expected.

"Has the algorithm been compiled? Whether it's Econometrica or other journals, at least you will be required to run the model on your own on the computer, and you are sure that the data you calculate is... "

"I've tested it," Xiao Tong continued, interrupting Professor foster, who was a bit incoherent. "The review of academic editors has passed, and now it's almost peer review..."

What needs to be revised is not a big problem.

It can be seen that the reviewer himself is also full of interest in this research, otherwise he will not reply to her so quickly.

Playing with the pen cap in his hand, foster took a deep breath and calmed down, leaning back on the chair and saying in a distracted way.

"The review cycle of Econometrica is very long. It will take at least six weeks to produce results. Unless there is a big bull's name, you have to wait for a long time just to line up. I'm not saying what's wrong with your contribution to Econometrica, but don't you ask my opinion... "

If it were other students, he would have started spraying directly.

But this student, the background is not simple.

Although it doesn't make him afraid of anything, it's not worth offending easily

"Don't worry about this..." Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, but thought that even if he didn't tell, it would be known sooner or later, so he said truthfully, "the corresponding author is Lu Zhou."

The corresponding author is Lu Zhou.

If you hang this name, you may get special care, at least you don't need to line up.

However, this position originally belonged to him

As soon as this sentence comes out, the atmosphere in the office is suddenly quiet and terrible.

The expression on Professor Foster's face was a little stiff, and even the gentleman's smile was almost tense.

"Sorry I didn't catch you. What do you mean? "

Xiaotong: " The corresponding author is his name. After all, he completes the whole mathematical model and algorithm part. "

Professor foster took a deep breath, looked at his students and said in a deep voice.

"I want to hear your explanation. What do you mean..."

"It's not what I mean," Xiao Tong replied in a quiet voice, shaking his head and trying not to let himself show his shyness. "It's his request."

Professor Foster was silent.

His request

He obviously refers to Professor Lu.

“…… The paper has entered the peer review process. This morning, I received a reply from the reviewer and revised several minor issues. If there is no accident, the revised draft should be able to pass this time, "Xiao Tong took a deep breath and went on, looking at Professor foster with an uncertain expression." although I'm sorry that the corresponding author can't give it to you, Professor Lu Zhou's opinion is that I have my own decision on the first and second tasks. "

After a pause, looking at the silent Professor foster, Xiao Tong continued.

"I heard that you are commenting on the research fund of the Royal Academy of Sciences. As long as you sign my graduation application, you can get a piece of" Econometrica " What do you think? "
