While Sun Ruyue and others were preparing for the experiment, Yang Rui opened and read the letters on his own.

Later generations have WeChat, QQ, SMS, telephone, email and other contact tools, but in China in the 1980s, letters were the most basic and important contact tools.

Ask the Chinese in the 1980s, there may be very few people who have not written a letter, but there are too many people who have not made a phone call or sent a telegram.

Although Yang Rui calls every day he wants to, but he is a wealthy class and cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Now it costs only a few cents to send a letter, but it may cost a few yuan to make a phone call. Moreover, the phone is not easy to make. You can’t just pick it up and dial it. It may take half an hour to manually transfer all the way to Beijing. It’s not uncommon to wait for two or three hours if the line is busy.

It can be said that the telephone line to Beijing in 1984 was more congested than the road to Beijing in 2014.

Yang Rui's classmates in the Ruixue group, as well as experts he met in meetings, and even experts he didn't know, all liked to write to him.

Nowadays, it is normal for an ordinary college student to send and receive more than a dozen emails in a semester, unlike later generations, who have to send several pages of letters. Many people like to write large characters, and they can write twenty or thirty characters on a page , A letter may not have 144 characters.

As for these letters, there are chats, greetings, and work talks, but most of them are chats.

Yang Rui is also used to writing short messages. He put the letter on the left and the letter paper on the right. After you have a scientific research dog, you can help fill in the return address, put a stamp on it and send it, which is less troublesome than the steps of sending and receiving text messages.

Of course, the premise is that there is a scientific research dog to help.

Below more than a dozen domestic letters, there are four foreign letters. Since Yang Rui participated in the "International Medicine and Bioengineering", experts and professors he knows have sent exchange letters. After he published "CELL", there are even more Letters from foreigners I don't know.

He is the corresponding author of the paper, so he naturally wants to publish his contact information on "CELL". For the biological science community, a heavyweight paper is equivalent to a golden advertising space.

Yang Rui unhurriedly opened the letter and replied.

It's like the researchers of later generations have to write emails every day. Reading and replying letters have always been part of the researcher's work.

This way of working can be pushed back two or three hundred years. Many of Gauss's famous discoveries and achievements were even dug out from his letters by later scholars.

The teaching assistants and lecturers who also work in Tang's concentrated laboratory watched Yang Rui write letters in English enviously,

This is one of the reasons why everyone rushes to participate in international conferences. For students, it may be cool to have a foreign pen pal. For scholars, it is a real help to have a foreign scholar to exchange ideas. with promotion.

"Huh." Opening the last letter, Yang Rui was a little surprised.

"Is there something good?" Assistant Professor Tan, the head dog in the laboratory, strolled over.

"""" wants me to read a paper." Yang Rui didn't answer good or bad.

Assistant Professor Tan let out a "hiss" and took a deep breath: "You published the paper ""?"

"correct."

""" invited you to be a reviewer?" Lecturer Fan, the second-in-command in the laboratory, was also attracted.

Yang Rui still nodded and said, "They are also a mechanism for peer review."

Yang Rui has been a reviewer for "Biochemical System Ecology" before, and has also reviewed several papers. However, after the potassium channel scientific research competition started, Yang Rui had no time to review manuscripts, and rejected several papers one after another.

Of course, Yang Rui hasn't reviewed manuscripts of the level of "" yet.

Although foreign journals do not have very strict requirements for reviewers—after all, it is a voluntary job, and two or three people do it at the same time, but they still have the minimum qualification review for reviewers.

Especially for journals at the level of "", they invite reviewers, which in itself means a qualification.

If only a threshold paper is published in the journal, it is impossible for the editor to invite review unless the editor is stunned.

In addition, the identity of the invited reviewers will actually have a great impact on whether they are invited.

If you are a professor from a world-renowned university, you will definitely give the editor more confidence - the vast majority of journal editors only have a basic level of scientific research, and at most they have made achievements in some aspects. value, journal editors rely entirely on the judgment of reviewers.

As a type of media, journals can at most invite one or two powerful professors to support their appearance, but they cannot turn every journal editor into Da Vinci.

It can be said that selecting the correct reviewers is one of the most important tasks of journal editors.

Out of caution, the more well-known institutions or research institutions, the more developed the institutions and research institutions are, the easier it is to be favored by editors.

Peking University in 1984 was still far from meeting the standards of a world-renowned university, and naturally there were not many invitations for reviewers from foreign journals.

Assistant Professor Tan walked over eagerly, and simply stood behind Yang Rui, asking, "Who wrote the paper, can I see it?"

"You should be able to see it. Peer review is single-blind." Lecturer Fan and Assistant Professor Tan stood side by side. He has only graduated for 3 years and has not been a reviewer yet.

Yang Rui smiled and nodded, "It should be single blind."

Single-blind means that the reviewers know the personal information of the author of the paper, but the author of the paper does not know who is reviewing the manuscript.

Yang Rui unfolded the letter without concealment.

Many professors are so busy that they don't care about reviewing manuscripts. They often give them to the students under their hands to do exercises, and then check them by themselves. Journals also know this situation, and generally avoid mutual review of manuscripts by interested parties.

Lecturer Fan read the name on the title curiously, and said: The--of-...Tokyo University? It's still a professor's thesis! "

"It's normal for a professor at the University of Tokyo to submit a paper."

"University of Tokyo... It's normal for professors from the University of Tokyo to submit papers, but, but..." Lecturer Fan wanted to shout out, but was suppressed by Yang Rui's calm attitude, which made him want to shout out even more.

Although there were too many conflicts, in Asia in the 1980s, the University of Tokyo was well-deserved No. 1 in Asia, and Peking University and Tsinghua University could not even squeeze into the second echelon composed of the National University of Singapore, Seoul National University in South Korea, and Hebrew University in Israel. .

Although a professor at the University of Tokyo wrote an ordinary paper and sent it to Yang Rui, it was nothing.

However, when this theoretically possible thing happens, people in reality are still shocked in their senses.

"Yang Rui can actually review manuscripts for professors at the University of Tokyo?" This thought surrounded Lecturer Fan and Assistant Professor Tan, making them breathless.
