Chapter 84 The Academic Factor
Yu Xian felt a little embarrassed when he escaped from the statue of the saint who exposed the dead body.

It really came out like this, and I thought there would be a thrilling journey to explore the tomb.

Now I can only secretly say in my heart, "Liujuehu, come on, I'm here to watch out for you."

Wouldn't it be nice to have nothing to do to dig some fossils while watching the wind, and have the help of Liujue households to transport them back by the way?
The small abacus in Yu Xian's mind was crackling, and the phone also rang at the same time.

The caller was an editor of Tianyi Museum.

"Yes, it's September."

In July, Yu Xian donated the long-armed Hunyuanlong fossil to the National Museum, and contributed a descriptive paper on the discovery of new paleontology to "Tianyi Museum" by the way.

The core periodicals often have a long publication period, especially "Tianyi Museum", which needs to go through a strict review and proofreading process, and it was revised once during the period.

After answering the phone, the editor happily expressed his congratulations.

"Mr. Yu, the paper was successfully sent out, and the organization that received the journal first did not question your research findings at all."

Major universities and well-known research institutes can often obtain first-hand information on journals.

Although they could not see the long-arm Hunyuanlong fossils, the detection data in the paper have been replaced by the National Museum and related research institutes to confirm that the possibility of an oolong is very small.

"It's nothing (huhufengsheng), I will work harder in the future (huhufengsheng), dig more fossils to promote paleontological research (huhufengsheng)."

"Uh, Mr. Yu, where are you? The wind is so strong..."

"I... I'm prospecting for fossils in the wild." Yu Xian didn't blush and didn't breathe, and responded naturally, "I hope this trip will be rewarding."

"As expected of Mr. Yu, after discovering a new paleontological species, he went to the field to investigate again without stopping."

The editor expressed his admiration and explained that the editor-in-chief of "Tianyi Museum" also hopes to cooperate more in the future.

"It's an honor."

"Tianyi Museum" is the top journal of Tianyi Country, and its influence is quite strong. It allows scholars to translate their papers into multiple languages ​​and publish them overseas. If we can reach a cooperative relationship with them, Yu Xian's future road will be much easier.

"By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Just say it, Mr. Yu."

"What are the specific requirements for establishing a paleontology research institute?"

Yu Xian only knew that the team must have fruitful scholars and a large amount of start-up funds. The information was too abstract and the goals were not clear enough.

Listening to Mr. Yu's question on the phone, the editorial department immediately guessed that Yu Xian wanted to set up his own research institute.

"Is Mr. Yu going to cooperate with others to form a research institute? The initial funds and related equipment reported for approval are not much, and the total cost is about 2000 million b."

For research institutions, investing 2000 million B is really not much, but this is only a basic standard, requiring research on all the most basic fossil inspection and storage capabilities.

In terms of the amount of start-up capital, it is easy to say, but the difficult thing is that scholars are needed.

The total academic factor of the scholar who is the leader needs to exceed 300 points.

"Academic factor? I only know impact factor."

The impact factor is an internationally accepted standard for evaluating the quality of journals. It takes two years as the statistical cycle, and calculates the number of publications and the number of reprints hired to obtain a score.

It can be simply and roughly understood as the combat effectiveness of game and anime characters.

The impact factor of "Tianyi Natural History" is around 26
"Historical Hook Shen" impact factor 21
The impact factor of "Journal of Sandalwood University" is around 10
Almost all formal journals have an impact factor, including "Ancient Interests" over at Baimo, whose impact factor is estimated to be 0.01...

Speaking of the editorial department today, Yu Xian just knew that there is such a thing as an academic factor.

After all, most students in third-rate colleges and universities have only written one graduation thesis in their lifetime, which is not counted as publication of journals, and there is no such thing as a factor.

"How to get the academic factor?"

"It is necessary to publish effective papers, or achievements such as inventions and creations."

Articles that only post stitching monsters are not included in the academic factor.

After a high-quality paper is published, comprehensively consider factors such as the impact factor of the corresponding journal, the importance of the content of the paper to the relevant field, and the cutting-edge nature of the paper to comprehensively judge the academic factor.

The impact factor of journals is calculated on a two-year cycle, so the scores will be adjusted every year;
The academic factor is personal to the scholar and has been accumulated, just like shopping points.

"If you want to establish a new research institute, the minimum requirement is that the total academic factors of the core leaders exceed 300."

"What if the institute is run by a single person?"

"individual."

The editor really rarely heard of the case of a single person setting up a research institute. It is often a professor who jumps out and flies solo, and there is no problem of insufficient academic factors.

After asking my colleagues around, the editor replied Yu Xian.

"Mr. Yu, to set up a research institute alone, requires an academic factor of 200."

"That's it"

Yu Xian heard about this concept for the first time today, and 200 points is quite abstract.

"The calculation method just now is too complicated. You just say how much is the paper I found the long-armed Hunyuanlong worth?"

"The immediate score is 11.3, which will be adjusted according to the impact on follow-up research."

“That was quite difficult”

It was discovered that the paper on the long-armed Hunyuanlong may be raised a bit in the later stage. Yu Xian also published a paper on this fossil on "History Goshen", and the score was much lower than the first description.

If you want to score 200 points, don't you have to discover more than ten new species?

Or a large number of lower academic factors can add up to 200 points.

The requirements are indeed strict. The official threshold for setting up a research institute is quite high. Most scholars have to accumulate for several years, and it takes more than ten years to reach the standard.

Yu Xian was already thinking about how many new species he could directly pull out.

Reaper pterosaur counts as one, and primitive archeopteryx counts as one. There may still be unknown dinosaurs in the cold snow plateau where it is now.

Finally, Yu Xian asked about the current accumulated academic factors.

From Strange Pterosaur to Long-armed Hunyuanlong, the total academic factor is 24.6, and one-eighth of the requirements have been completed.

With 200 academic factors, it is enough to get the qualification to open a research institute, and to be able to open a research institute of the lowest level, and Yu Xian can take off freely.

After finishing the call, Yu Xian immediately started the excavation plan for the cold frontier plateau.

Faced with the 200-point academic factor requirement, you must be serious, not serious!
Yu Xian has a lot of information on dinosaur fossils, but there is very little that can be used at this stage.

Fossils like the second Carnotaurus in the world, the precious Feather Tyrannosaurus fossils, and the unknown primitive Archeopteryx fossils are still buried.

It is estimated that the Reaper Pterosaur, Rose Mapulon, etc. will be transported to Sandalwood City in a month.

The only thing that can be taken out to write an article directly is the toy pterosaur that exists in the Miao's villa.

At this stage, the paleontological circle does not know the wingspan of the toy pterosaur. Only one skull fossil has been made public, and the fossil in Yu Xian's hands is not bad.

It's just not bad, it's incomparable to the long-armed Hunyuanlong.

"Cold Frontier Plateau... Are there any other dinosaurs that have turned into unknown creatures?"
