From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 48 Dissertation

Seeing the two roommates coming back one after another around ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yi put down his book.

Start to turn on the computer, ready to submit.

It is impossible for this "Singular Perturbation Problem and Related Numerical Methods for Multi-scale Data Processing" to be submitted to the four top journals in mathematics.
As for the two top journals of science and nature, it is also impossible.

Zhou Yi searched for a long time, and read many journals, and found that the Dutch journal "APPLIED NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS" is not bad.

According to the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it belongs to SCI in Zone 2, mainly because it does not require money.

This made Zhou Yi decide to publish this journal.

After logging in and registering, and after some miscellaneous things were settled, the paper that was drawn by the Zhouyi lottery was sent out.

An SCI paper in District 2, second only to the top journals, has a very high gold content.

Regarding the SCI partition, there are two kinds of partitions,

One is the JCR partition,

This is formulated by Clarivate Analytics. JCR divides the included journals into 176 different subject categories, and each subject category is divided into 4 areas according to the impact factor of the journal.

影响因子排在前25%的期刊为Q1区，影响因子排在25%-50%期刊为Q2区，影响因子排在50%-75%的期刊为Q3区，影响因子排在75%之后的为Q4区。

The other division is the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which divides all journals in JCR into mathematics, chemistry, biology, geosciences, astronomy, engineering technology, medicine, environmental science, agriculture and forestry science, social science, management science and comprehensive journals. 13 major categories,

中科院按照各类期刊影响因子划分，前5%的期刊为1区，6%-20%的期刊为2区，21%-50%的期刊为3区，剩下的就是4区期刊。

The JCR partition is a rectangular partition, while the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a pyramid partition.

Although the two divisions are more authoritative, the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been adopted by more institutions as an indicator for scientific research evaluation.

According to Zhou Yi's knowledge, the scientific research performance awards and professional title evaluations of most universities and research institutes in China are weighted according to the divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, due to the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a lot of ruthless diss,

So now some schools have made it clear that they want to be in line with international standards and use Clarivate’s SCI journal division standards.

As for Zhou Yi's second paper "A Global Arnoldi-Type Algorithm for Solving Large Non-Hermite Characteristic Problems", Zhou Yi guesses that it is also a sci paper in Zone 2.

The full name of SCI is Science Citation Index, which is a citation database founded and published by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) in 1961.

Including life sciences, medicine, physical chemistry, agronomy, biology, engineering and many other fields, it is used to evaluate the academic level of the entire scientific field.Most countries and regions in the world use SCI to measure the academic level of a scholar.

Of course, in addition to SCI, there are two other main evaluation systems, EI and ISTP.However, compared with EI and ISTP, SCI is currently the most important academic system in the world.

Not long after, Zhou Yi saw the status displayed on the webpage as 'submitted to editorial office', which in Chinese means sent to the editor's office.

It takes half a year at the earliest for Zhou Yi to contribute to this journal. If the editor requests revisions in the middle, the time may be longer. It takes half a year at the earliest from the completion of an SCI to its successful publication.

So after Zhou Yi saw it, he continued to pick up the "Harmony Analysis" in his hand and read it.

There are endless books, especially mathematics books. Although the foundation of Zhouyi is very solid, this thing is mathematics after all, not literature.

A solid foundation can only make Zhou Yi easy to understand, not allow Zhou Yi to be understood directly.

The knowledge that should be learned still has to be learned.

The road of scientific research, in Tang Ping's words, can only bear sweet fruits after hard work, and there are no shortcuts.

Just when Zhou Yi was watching with gusto, the phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Yi thought it would be Xia Xue, or Tian Yiguang, or those seniors, but he didn't expect it to be an email.

My thesis has reached the status of 'with editor', which means that the editor has accepted to be responsible for processing the thesis.

At this time, if the editor thinks that the paper is suitable for the journal, it will be submitted for peer review.

Of course, if the paper does not meet the standards of the journal, it is not 'with editor', but the words 'decision in process'.

After Zhou Yi completed the email steps, he swallowed his saliva and looked excited. Oh my god, he actually jumped in the queue. Generally speaking, there is a saying that first come, first served.

It usually takes about a week.

Immediately afterwards, the status bar of the webpage becomes 'reviewer invited',
This means that the paper has passed the technical review, and the editor has sent a review invitation, waiting for the reviewer to accept it.

Zhou Yi guarded his laptop, refreshing it every few minutes.

Because this status may become 'with editor' again, which means that the reviewer refuses to review the manuscript, and the editor needs to find another reviewer.

Fortunately, after 10 minutes, the status bar of the webpage changed to 'Under Review'.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi's hanging heart instantly calmed down.

Steady!

At this point, it has been stated that the paper is under review by the reviewers, which is the so-called external review.

The waiting time for this step is very long. According to the journals of Zhouyitou,
The time required is about 2 months to 6 months.

Because these reviewers themselves are also busy researchers, and reviewing manuscripts is a free job, which belongs to the process of generating electricity for love. Compared with Yang Shuai's novels in the new issue, they need a lot of energy to judge, deduce and evaluate papers.

So this process is the most time-consuming process in the entire publishing process.

Zhou Yi wasn't worried about the expert's evaluation and derivation at all. This was a paper drawn by the father of the system, and it was shown to Professor Tang Ping, which basically showed that there was nothing wrong with it.

If there is a problem, it is also a problem with the reviewers!
As for whether Professor Tang Ping would plagiarize his thesis, anyone in Zhou Yi could do it, but this righteous old stubborn man definitely wouldn't.

If there are any problems with my thesis, maybe I will take the initiative to help me revise it, and in the end I won’t even ask for three or four papers.

At his age, academic achievements have already been made, and there are so many papers published that there is no need for Zhou Yi's paper.

For Tang Ping, he hoped that Yuda could produce someone like Academician Yang of Yushi University. Yuda needed such a person too much.

The low-level 985, the low-level number of colleges, Chongqing Normal University and Southwest Normal University are eyeing each other, and there needs to be a strong person behind it.

It cannot be found in the short term, but a long-term one can be cultivated.

Zhou Yi belongs to such a person.

So when Zhou Yi decided to apply for the senior group of the math competition, Tang Ping didn't give much persuasion.

Only after Zhou Yi suffered a loss, a longer memory may be more suitable for Zhou Yi's development.

After all, Yuzhou is in the southwest region, and it is not in line with the prosperous eastern areas, let alone with the international standards. The news is blocked, and Zhouyi still has a long way to go in the future.

There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. The most indispensable thing in this world is genius.
