Chapter 287 Submission to top international journals
Wang Donglai does not attach much importance to the breakthrough of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Because, lithium-sulfur batteries have many advantages, but they are still far from truly changing the world's energy industry.
But this does not mean that the value of this technology is not high.
At present, this technology alone is worth hundreds of millions, provided that it only sells patent licenses.
And if you have your own industrial chain, the value will be huge and you can become an industry leader.
Wang Donglai is very aware of the value of this technology, but still doesn’t value it very much.
So, the first thing I thought of was to help Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Joined research and development, the patent is in Galaxy Technology Company, substantial benefits have been obtained, Tangdu Jiaotong University has been named, and it has received official attention.
It can be said that the two do not conflict, but rather maximize their interests.
But Xu Songyao rejected Wang Donglai's proposal without hesitation.
The reason is very simple. It is not only because Xu Songyao does not want to do this kind of thing and set a precedent for this kind of thing, but also because Xu Songyao values Wang Donglai more than technological breakthroughs and the attention of his superiors.
Even if this proposal was made by Wang Donglai, there would be no problem if he chose to accept it, but Xu Songyao was still unwilling to accept it.
Through these two years of contact, he has realized one thing deeply.
That is, Wang Donglai is definitely not a genius in the conventional sense, but a peerless genius who will affect the development of the times.
There was one such person in Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Qian Xuesen!
In Xu Songyao's heart, his positioning of Wang Donglai has long been comparable to that of Qian Lao.
Xu Songyao did not express this idea at all, but he has been using his actual behavior to express his attitude.
So, after rejecting Wang Donglai's proposal, Xu Songyao did not give up. Instead, he thought about it, drafted a report, solemnly wrote his name, and submitted it to his superior unit. Go up.
But Wang Donglai didn't know this.
At this moment, he is writing a paper.
《Research on the effects of specific surface area and pore size of hollow carbon spheres on polysulfide compounds! 》
《Research on the use of hollow carbon spheres to solve the problems of lithium-sulfur batteries! 》
For others, these two papers may take several months to barely complete, or even longer.
But in Wang Donglai's hands it was extremely simple.
In Wang Donglai's mind, there are many high-quality papers and documents, as well as related information books.
With the addition of the [Chinese] subject that has reached level 7, writing a paper is naturally extremely simple.
Two days.
Two papers are completely completed.
When Wang Donglai was writing his thesis, the patent application had already begun.
Galaxy Technology has long maintained a group of patent teams dedicated to patent work.
So, when the technology just broke through, Galaxy Technology’s patent team started taking action, taking action domestically and internationally to apply for patents around the world.
In modern society, although patents cannot prevent technology leakage, they can also greatly protect the interests of the patentee.
If the technology is to be kept completely confidential, either it is too far ahead of the market and other experimental teams, and there are gaps in its lead, making it impossible for them to overcome the thick technical barriers to complete reproduction, or it is what the technology wants to achieve. The conditions are extremely harsh, such as the nuclear bomb, the king of modern civilization weapons.
Related concepts can be found by searching on the Internet, but if you want to create them, it is impossible.
From raw materials to machines to personnel, they are all being watched by international powers and it is impossible to break through.
Even if there is a breakthrough, it is tacitly allowed.
Lithium-sulfur batteries naturally do not receive such treatment. Even if Wang Donglai does not make a breakthrough, someone will make a breakthrough as time goes by.
Now in 2014, we have made a breakthrough in lithium-sulfur batteries. We are indeed far ahead.
But this does not have much impact. In Wang Donglai's plan, after lithium-sulfur batteries, there are semi-solid batteries, solid-state batteries, then graphene batteries, and finally nuclear batteries with nearly unlimited energy.
So, Wang Donglai was not worried about his breakthrough and helped foreign research teams to enhance their strength.
According to his estimation, even if a foreign team wants to repeat success, it will take at least a year, and no matter how fast, it will take more than half a year.
At this time, strong domestic production capacity has long been put into the market.
The price is low and the technology is advanced, which will naturally form an advantage in the market.
Taking a step back, when the West completed its breakthrough and wanted to enter the market, Wang Donglai had already completed the breakthrough of higher-performance semi-solid-state batteries.
One step faster, each step faster!
After two or three attempts, foreign scientific research teams will only be tired of catching up and plummet in actual market competition.
There is only one weakness in this approach.
That is Wang Donglai’s research and development speed, which must be fast and maintained.
But facing Wang Donglai who has a system, this weakness is not a weakness.
On the contrary, it became Wang Donglai’s biggest advantage.
In the office.
Looking at the two papers he had just written, Wang Donglai hesitated in an extremely rare way.
Because, he was thinking about something.
That is, which journal should these two articles be submitted to?
"Nature"
"Science"
As a top international journal, it enjoys a good reputation in the academic world. If you can publish a paper in it, no matter what country it is, No matter what school, it is an honor worth mentioning.
And for China, this is even more true.
Even if it is published to the sub-journals of these two journals, it is an achievement that can be written about in a big book.
The academic hegemony of the West is not just in the field of mathematics.
So, although Wang Donglai refused to publish his mathematics papers in international mathematics journals, his breakthroughs in professional fields other than mathematics still had to be published in top international journals.
Because only in this way can we expand our influence faster and larger.
After gaining a certain degree of popularity, Wang Donglai will, like the field of mathematics, recreate relevant academic journals in China, put his main inventions on them, increase the impact factor, and turn it into a top academic journal.
For now, this is the only way to go.
……
Editorial Department of "Science".
As one of the internationally renowned scientific magazines, "Science" appeared in 1880, when China was still in the feudal dynasty.
After more than a hundred years of historical accumulation, Science magazine has long become one of the top journals coveted by scholars around the world. Looking around the world, the only one that can compete with Science is Nature.
Because of his fame, there are countless papers submitted to Science from all over the world. With so many submissions, the competition is naturally fierce.
However, with so many submitted papers, less than 10% of the articles that can be submitted to the editor will be accepted for publication.
All research articles must be peer-reviewed before publication.
Strict regulations and high-quality requirements have not made the quality of Science decline, or the number of submissions decreased, but rather increased.
In the editorial department of Science, there are editors and dedicated reviewers.
Because there were so many submissions, it was naturally impossible for the review editor to read them one by one, so they were handed over to the reviewers to go through them first.
Of course, someone who can serve as a reviewer in Science magazine cannot be chosen randomly.
Every one of them is a professor from a university. Although they may not be very famous, their academic knowledge and vision are definitely not bad.
Only in this way can high-quality papers be excavated from the vast number of papers without being covered in dust.
As a reviewer for Science, Alexander always thinks about one day serving as a review editor to decide whether a paper can be published.
That sense of accomplishment is definitely not comparable to simply selecting papers.
For his current job, he feels like a worker on an assembly line, doing simple and repetitive tasks.
Most of the time, the papers sent to him will be rejected by him.
It’s not that the quality of these papers is poor, but that the quality of these papers is not good enough for him to submit.
And even if there is a paper that can make him shine, it will often be rejected at the review and editor level after submission.
After working as a reviewer for a year, Alexander has yet to come across a paper that can be published.
In his heart, this matter has also become an obsession.
Today.
Alexander sat in his seat and began to work for the day.
Opening the computer and looking at the large number of emails on it, Alexander sighed.
In one year of working, he has read too many papers.
In order to be published in "Science", these contributors use all kinds of means and use any means.
After seeing it a lot, Alexander also summed up a useful and effective tip.
That is to guess the quality of the paper by combining the identity of the contributor, the school he graduated from and the institution he works for, as well as the submission record and other information.
If the contributor is from a developing country, the school is an unknown school, and there is no reputation in the academic world, and if this person is not found, there is no doubt that the quality of the paper will not be up to standard.
I can’t say this tip is 100% correct, but it has a 90% accuracy rate.
The reason why there is still an error of 10% is also based on the rigor of a researcher.
While looking at the paper, Alexander complained to his colleague Hans and said: "I think our magazine should have a rule, which is to classify these contributors."
Hans, who was looking at the manuscript, asked without turning his head: "What classification?"
"It's very simple. We can directly divide them into developed countries and developing countries, and then divide them into top universities and ordinary universities. Make a white list of academic celebrities. In this way, our work will be much easier!"
Alexander spoke his mind.
After hearing what Alexander said, Hans stopped, turned his head, and said seriously: "First of all, it is definitely impossible for Science magazine to do this. It will greatly affect the development of Science magazine. Life cycle, secondly, if we really do this, we will also be unemployed!"
After saying this, Hans stopped talking to Alexander and went back to his work.
Alexander was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out in the next second. A trace of anger arose in his heart, and he vented his temper on the paper in the mailbox.
"It's just a bunch of shit!"
"Gahiro Yamamoto, the scholar from Sakura Country is a fool. He dares to submit such a paper. He really has no self-awareness."
"My My life has been wasted by a rubbish paper again. I really want to break his head and see if it is filled with shit!”
While quickly looking at the paper in the email, Alexander commented. Papers and greetings to contributors.
Until...
"This is another sensational paper. It uses hollow carbon spheres to study lithium-sulfur batteries. It's really ridiculous. Let me see where the contributor is."
As he said this, a message appeared on Alexander's computer. papers.
The title is "Study on the effects of specific surface area and pore size of hollow carbon spheres on polysulfide compounds!" 》
At the same time, when he saw the title of the paper, Alexander also knew the identity of the contributor.
"China, Tang Capital Jiaotong University, Wang Donglai?"
"It turns out he is a scholar from China, and he seems to be another idiot who wants to publish a paper and goes crazy!"
Alexander commented in a low voice.
After I finished speaking, I took a quick look and was ready to reject the paper.
Among the tips summarized by Alexander, Wang Donglai’s paper fully meets the standards. You don’t need to think too much about it, or even click on the paper to view it, just reject it.
However, just when Alexander did this.
Hans on the side asked with a hint of surprise: "Alexander, where did the contributor you just mentioned come from?"
When Hans asked, Alexander stopped what he was doing. He turned around and repeated the action, saying: "The Chinese country from the east is not a professor from the northern Qing Dynasty. It is Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty. A school named after a city is probably not the same." What a good school.”
Hans’ eyes moved and he asked again: “What is the name of this contributor?”
Alexander’s question to Hans was a bit strange, but he still asked. He said in a loud voice: "Wang Dong is coming!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Hans's eyes light up, his expression seemed to change, and he felt doubtful in his heart.
"Alexander, think about this name carefully, I think you should have heard of this name!"
Hans reminded Alexander.
Alexander frowned and was about to deny that he knew the name when he suddenly got a jolt.
At this moment, he thought of this name!
“Oh God!”
"Hans, you won't tell me that this Wang Donglai is the person in the field of mathematics, right?"
Alexander looked a little disbelieving and asked in surprise.
Hans didn’t say much, he just said lightly: “He is from China, and he is from the school Tangdu Jiaotong University, and he has another name. It is obvious that it is definitely him!”
“ I advise you to read this paper carefully and stop using your review tips to judge!”
Hearing Hans’ words, Alexander did not refute, thought for a while, and sat down. Sitting in his seat, he reopened the paper and began to read it carefully word for word.
At this sight, Alexander felt as if his heart was turning upside down.
