From university academician to chief academician

The next day, in the evening, Ye Fei finished writing the paper and sent it to his tutor.

Professor Lu started watching it that night.

"The quality of this paper..." Professor Lu was a little surprised: "Okay, there are basically no errors. Even if there are errors, they are minor flaws."

Professor Lu has read Ye Fei's undergraduate thesis. He can't say how good it is. He can only say that he has some ideas, but it's not very good, not even top-notch.

But now when I look at Ye Fei’s paper, the quality is very good.

He had some doubts about what Ye Fei had gone through this year to improve his abilities so much.

Professor Lu murmured to himself: "I don't teach him much at ordinary times. I just let him read some literature and occasionally take him to do some scientific research projects."

The first year of postgraduate study usually involves reading literature, taking classes, and writing papers.

If you are a major with a lot of experiments like chemistry, you will go to the laboratory to familiarize yourself with the experimental tools and processes.

Occasionally, seniors or mentors will lead you to do some scientific research.

When I reach the second year of graduate school, I will read literature, develop projects, do scientific research, and write papers.

The third year of graduate school means looking for a job, writing a thesis, or taking the PhD exam.

Generally speaking, scientific research is done in the second year of graduate school, and very little is done in the first year of graduate school.

"It seems that after the summer vacation, I can take him to do some more difficult scientific research projects."

Professor Lu sent the paper to Ye Fei. After receiving the paper, Ye Fei revised it according to the tutor's prompts and then sent it to the tutor.

This time, Professor Lu did not make any more modifications. What should be changed has been modified. Then Professor Lu asked Ye Fei to come to his office.

Professor Lu's office.

After Ye Fei sat down, Professor Lu said, "Have you decided which journal to submit for?"

Ye Fei was a little confused and said: "Tutor, let's not say which journal to submit for now. Will the school reimburse the money for submitting the manuscript?"

Paper submission requires page fees, and general journals are divided into provincial journals, national journals and core journals.

Provincial journals generally range from 600 to 1,000, national journals generally range from 700 to 1,300, and core journals generally range from several thousand.

Medical journals are the most expensive, costing tens of thousands.

If it is SCI, the page fee is generally 7,000 to 10,000, and a few are more than 15,000.

The minimum is 600, which is quite expensive for a student. A week's living expenses are gone.

As CSCD is a core journal, the page fee costs several thousand yuan, which Ye Fei really cannot afford.

"Where are you thinking?" Professor Lu asked, dumbfounded: "If students submit papers and the school reimburses them, then the school won't go bankrupt."

"Hey..." Ye Fei's face was tangled: "Tutor, why don't I vote for CSCD? The page fee is too expensive and I can't afford it. You also know my family situation. My family runs a small noodle shop. With an annual income of over 100,000 yuan, my monthly living expenses are only 2,000 yuan.”

If he invests in SCI, Ye Fei doesn't need to be so entangled.

If the paper is entered into SCI, the school will reward you.

Depending on the impact factor, the rewards are also different.

The minimum is four thousand and the maximum is five hundred thousand.

But the trick is that the CSCDA area is obviously equivalent to the first and second areas of SCI, but there are no rewards for investing in CSCD, only for investing in SCI.

Professor Lu shook his head in a funny way and said, "Okay, I've already figured it out for you. Your paper will be linked to my scientific research project, and the submission fee will be reimbursed from the scientific research project."

Ye Fei raised his head in surprise and said with a smile, "Thank you, mentor."

Then he hesitated and said: "Tutor, if you do this, where is the school?"

Schools with scientific research funds need to be investigated, and if problems arise, the person in charge of scientific research will be held responsible.

Professor Lu said: "I will just put your name in the scientific research project when the time comes, and the school will not be able to find out."

Ye Fei was relieved when he heard this.

"Tell me, have you decided which journal to submit to?" Professor Lu asked.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Tutor, do you have anything to recommend?"

After thinking for a while, Professor Lu said: "The quality of your paper is good. Area A should be fine, but Area A is also divided into many journals, and different journals have different review difficulties."

Xia Guo has many journals, but the most famous are the three major categories, namely PKU, CSCD and CSSCI.

The full name of PKU is Kyoto University Library.

The full name of CSCD is Xia Academy of Sciences Documentation and Information Center.

The full name of CSSCI is Jinling University Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index.

CSSCI is more advanced than CSCD.

Papers that are included in CSCD and are included in CSSCI are classified into Category A, and the rest are Category B. Category C belongs to journals that have not been included in CSCD.

“The best journals in Category A in mathematics are Chinese Science, Science Bulletin, and Journal of Mathematics, followed by Mathematics Research and Discussion, Annual Journal of Mathematics, Journal of Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Advances in Mathematics.”

“The next ones are Systems Science and Mathematics, Applied Probability and Statistics, Journal of Computational Mathematics in Colleges and Universities, Journal of Applied Mathematics in Colleges and Universities, and Journal of Mathematical Physics.”

"I suggest you vote for Systems Science and Mathematics."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

He didn't understand this aspect, so he naturally listened to his instructor's advice.

"You know the rules for submitting papers, right?" Professor Lu said.

"Of course I know." Ye Fei said with a smile: "First upload the paper to Arxiv to occupy the slot, and then send the paper to the journal."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "Then you go back and submit. After the submission is approved and you receive the approval email, you can take a screenshot of the email to me and I will reimburse you."

"Okay." Ye Fei stood up and said, "Goodbye, mentor!"

After returning home, Ye Fei first posted the paper on Arxiv, and then sent the paper to the editor of the Journal of Systems Science and Mathematics.

The corresponding author of the paper is Lu Yishan, and the first author Ye Fei is from the School of Mathematics, Zhonghu University, Shaqiu City, Zhonghu Province.

When the paper was sent out, Ye Fei took a long breath and finally finished it.

He glanced at the system and found that the task had been completed and he had received 5 points.

It's already early May, and summer vacation will begin in just over twenty days.

Ye Fei looked at the other three roommates, who were still working hard on their papers.

He feels very comfortable. When something is successful, the sense of accomplishment and relaxation is very satisfying.

And it’s even more satisfying to see others still working hard.

Human happiness is often caused by the pain of others, so happiness is not connected.

"What to do?" Ye Feixin said, "Go and visit Stack Exchange."

During this period, in addition to writing papers, he also took half an hour to an hour every day to read Arxiv and Stack Exchange.

This taught him a lot.

As soon as he entered Stack Exchange, he received a message from Gao Fei.

"Hey, what do you know about singular cardinal numbers?"

The singular cardinality problem is a set theory problem. It is also one of the unsolved mathematical problems, and it appeared earlier than the continuum hypothesis problem.

There is a problem called the potential determination problem of powers of infinite sets.

This problem is a problem of determining the continuum hypothesis, while the problem of determining the potential of the power of an infinite set is a problem that requires singular cardinal numbers.

This is a cycle, and singular bases can prove the potential problem of powers of infinite sets.

The potential problem of powers of infinite sets can prove the continuum hypothesis problem.

"Singular cardinality?" Ye Fei thought for a moment and replied: "I know that it can be used on the potential of the Cartesian product of uncountable sets."

"And if you prove a singular base, you have to use a regular base."

Singular bases are also called irregular bases, which are the opposite of regular bases.

Gao Fei said: "I see you answered two days ago to use the axiom of choice to solve the power operation of base numbers. This is a singular base problem. How about it? Are you interested?"

Ye Fei was stunned, this is a strange cardinal number, a century-old problem that no one has solved yet.

Of course you have interest, but you have to act within your ability!

No one dares to brag about solving such a difficult problem, right?

Gao Fei said: "Don't put too much pressure on you. We are not trying to solve it, we are just exploring this problem."

Ye Fei took a long breath, frightened him to death, thinking that this person was going to solve the singular cardinality problem!

"Okay!" Ye Feidao.

After speaking, Ye Fei created a task in the system.

[Task: Exploring the Singular Cardinality Problem (0%)

Details: Not trying to solve everything, but only exploring part of it. It is best to write a paper.

Reward: 100 points]

"100 points?" Ye Fei was stunned: "Is this task difficult?"

The rewards were not set by him, but were automatically set by the system based on the difficulty of the tasks he created.

But it can also be seen from the points that it is twenty times more difficult than publishing a paper on CSCD.

"Ye Fei, have you handed in your paper?" Zhuang Nan asked.

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Envy!" Zhuang Nan said.

"Ye Fei!" Zhou Lin said, "Write it for me. How about a hot pot meal?"

"Ye Fei, help me, I'll introduce a girl to you." Xu Tian said.

"Get lost!" Ye Fei looked at them and yelled angrily: "I regard money as dirt and women as enemies. Don't use money and women to confuse me."

Zhou Lin and Xu Tian were stunned. If you don't want to help, why don't you help? Don't get involved with money and women!

These two things are the goals that men strive for throughout their lives.

If a man doesn't fight for money and women, he will lose his life goal.

Life without purpose is like a walking zombie.

Ye Fei stood up and said, "Tell me, if you have any questions, I can help you, but not one hot pot meal, at least three meals."

"Girl, I want high quality."

"Haha, yes!" Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Just three hot pot meals, I'm not short of money."

"The quality must be high, you have to believe me." Xu Tian said.
