Chapter 16 My goal is to surpass Ning Chen

“This academic journal is called "ADVANCESINCALCULUUSOFVARIATIONS", which is "Advances in Research on Calculus of Variations". Although this is an academic journal in the second district, its impact factor is It is considered high among the second district, not even lower than some academic journals in the first district..."

Ning Chen followed He Sheng's introduction and learned about the information of this academic journal, and also felt that this academic journal Journals are indeed more suitable.

"Progress in Research on the Method of Variations" mainly studies variational calculus and its applications, and partial differential equations are within its research scope.

“Of course, if you want to submit your paper to an academic journal in the first district, we are also very supportive. However, in this case, you must be prepared for the paper to be rejected. From the beginning of paper submission, to It may take a long time for the paper to be officially published. Personally, I think you can give it a try first, because you are still young, and there will be no delay in publishing the paper later.”

After all, Ning Chen is only a freshman, and unlike masters and doctoral students, there is no rigid requirement to publish a paper.

Whether it is from the perspective of Ning Chen or He Sheng, they naturally hope that this paper can be published in a higher-level academic journal.

But Ning Chen obviously hopes that this paper can be published earlier, so that he can complete the task earlier and refresh the next task.

Furthermore, according to the system’s evaluation criteria for task completion, the system only considers the quality of the paper, and does not indicate that the journal in which the paper is published will have any impact on the task completion.

After thinking about it, Ning Chen said:

"Teacher He, I still think it is more appropriate to submit this paper to "Progress in Calculus of Variations"."

"Well, it's okay. Since you have chosen the journal to submit this paper to, then we will The final format can be determined according to the requirements of this journal.”

Previously, Ning Chen’s paper format was written in a common format, but different academic journals have different requirements for papers. Different, so the format needs to be modified before the paper is submitted.

In the following time, Ning Chen revised the paper under the guidance of He Sheng.

Since Ning Chen’s paper originally had few problems, with He Sheng’s careful help, Ning Chen successfully completed the revision of the paper.

After the final inspection by Yang Lianhua and He Sheng, Ning Chen's paper was officially submitted.

"Ning Chen, submitting the paper is a very long process, and we must be patient enough. If there is any latest news, I will contact you as soon as possible."

When a paper is submitted to a journal, the paper first passes through the editor-in-chief of the journal. If the manuscript does not have an editor designated, the editor-in-chief will assign the manuscript to an editor.

After the editor receives the manuscript, he will choose whether to accept it. Reviewers will be invited to review the manuscript only if the editor chooses to accept it.

After accepting the review, the reviewer will give the editor his or her own review opinions. The editor will combine the opinions of several reviewers to ultimately decide how the manuscript will be handled.

The best result is naturally to choose to accept the manuscript directly. Of course, the possibility of this is relatively small. Even a very excellent paper usually needs some modifications.

It is a good result that the paper needs minor revision. Even if the editor feels that the paper needs major revision, many paper authors have to make modifications according to the editor's revision opinions.

The worst result is that the editor feels that the paper cannot be published in the journal and directly rejects it, which means that all the waiting these days has been in vain.

“Okay, Teacher He, I will be ready. Thank you and Teacher Yang for your help these days, otherwise, I really don’t know how to start writing a paper.”

“You are welcome, these are all things we are very happy to do. If your paper can be successfully published, it will be a happy event for us as a whole at Shengzhou University.”

After coming out of He Sheng's laboratory, Ning Chen couldn't help but open the system interface and check the progress of his mission. Although Ning Chen knew that even if the delivery of this paper went very smoothly, it would take at least several months until the paper was officially released.

But Ning Chen still has a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if the system determines the completion of the task from the time the paper is submitted, rather than from the official publication of the paper?

With this glimmer of hope, Ning Chen turned on the system silently in his mind and watched the progress of the task.

[Task: Publish a paper in any academic journal (Task progress: Paper is being submitted)]

Seeing the progress display on the system interface, Ning Chen sighed softly.

“Forget it, the paper has been submitted anyway, so everything will take its course.”

Ning Chen knows that no matter how much he pays attention to the progress of this paper now, he will not If it has any impact on the final result, it is better to focus on other places.

In the days that followed, Ning Chen continued to maintain a good study status, and at the same time performed regular physical exercises to make his body strong enough to withstand the high-intensity study life.

Every time the submission status of the paper is updated, He Sheng will communicate with Ning Chen in a timely manner at any time.

The good news is that the editor has officially accepted the submission of this paper and has begun looking for reviewers to conduct a professional review of this paper.

Of course, the review process may be very long, and Ning Chen has been prepared to receive a reply in several months.

As time passes day by day, this semester is about to enter the end stage.

Whether students usually listen carefully in class or not, by the end of the semester they all start to spend time in the study room, and their seriousness in studying is even worse than that of their senior year.

After all, even if you don’t pursue scholarships, everyone doesn’t want to fail the exam casually.

Shengzhou University does not have the opportunity to retake the exam. If you fail the exam, you will have to wait until the second year to retake it, which is very troublesome.

Ning Chen, Yuan Shuai, Yang Yan, and Chen Tianpeng in dormitory 208 also stayed in the study room all day long, preparing for the final exam.

The goals of the four people are different. Chen Tianpeng’s goal is to pass every subject, and the former coach hopes to at least get a second-class scholarship.

Yang Yan’s goal is higher. As a student from Shandong Province, Yang Yan has always felt that he should be a top student at Shengzhou University.

In fact, the college entrance examination questions in Shandong Province are indeed difficult. Even if they are admitted to the same university, students in Shandong Province will face more fierce competition.

Yang Yan felt that as long as he studied hard at the end of the semester, it would be easy to get a first-class scholarship.

In addition, Yang Yan has an even greater goal.

Overtake Ning Chen and get the first place in the major.
