Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

After Yang Rui finished the thesis and let the patent attorneys read it, he sent it out.

The destination was chosen by Yang Rui as "nature", which is also the famous "nature".

Compared with "Cell", "Nature" has slightly better public influence, not only because it is an old-fashioned natural science journal, but also because "Nature" covers a wider range. Published in the "Nature" magazine, making its influence and dissemination wider.

Many hot spots have been popular in professional journals for many years, and they are not as popular as a piece of popular science in "Nature". Many ordinary newspapers like to stare at "Nature" and "Science" magazines for reports, such as the "New York Times", which will come from time to time An eye-catching popular science article.

However, in terms of academics, cell is actually more rigorous and professional, while "Nature" and "Science" have higher requirements for originality and novelty, but not so high requirements for demonstration. With malicious speculation, "Nature" " and "Science" first require you to be highly original and novel, because of its high rate of dissemination, so that as long as the paper is interesting and can attract the views of all parties, it is enough. As for whether the conclusion of the paper is correct, it is important Sex is below originality and novelty.

Obokata Haruko’s thesis on stap cells was published in Nature, and Cell rejected the manuscript. Such a legend can probably draw a basic line between the two. The stap cell was an international hotspot at the time, and Nature couldn’t wait to publish it. As for the cell, it requires absolute professionalism. Articles published in the cell need to be clearly demonstrated. Obokata Haruko could not do this, so she had to give up .

Of course, the fact that Cell is more rigorous and professional does not mean that Nature is not rigorous and professional, but that their requirements for proofs are not so high.

Yang Rui's previous paper on potassium ion channels was at the top of the academic ecology, so he went for the cell. At that time, what he needed most was academic recognition.

The fact is also the same. After getting the receipt of the cell, no matter whether it is Peking University or Tsinghua University, whether it is the academic circles in Asia or Europe, they must recognize Yang Rui's academic strength, which is what the young Yang Rui needs most.

But no need to play academics.

Its wide applicability is the key to its winning the Nobel Prize, and its academic indicators are not high. Because of this, Yang Rui's first choice for publishing papers is not super-academic cells, but nature or.

In the end, Yang Rui chose "Nature" instead of "Science" because "Science" had a history of rejecting original authors.

Yang Rui didn't really want to go through this again.

Whether it is revising the paper or rejecting the manuscript, it is very time-consuming work. The most important thing is that if you fail to pass the review on time, your invention right will be in dispute.

Yang Rui doesn't want controversy.

Age and education are enough to make him controversial, and he doesn't want other controversy.

On this point, Yang Rui is actually a bit overprotective. However, in the history he knows, the publication history of Yang Rui can be said to be full of twists and turns. The author once worried that his research results would be snatched away...

Of course, his research results will be snatched by Yang Rui now.

Yang Rui snatched it with confidence, and, in order to securely snatch the results, Yang Rui was not satisfied with sending the paper.

If Nature does not recognize the importance, they are likely to reject the manuscript.

Yang Rui is not an old friend of "Nature", nor is he an old friend of "Cell". If a manuscript is rejected, he will not call, nor will he receive an explanation letter from the editor. He will only get one in a few weeks. The standard letter of rejection, in other words, Yang Rui was unable to explain and persuade the editor, and when he received the rejection letter, he had already wasted a lot of time.

"I would like to make a report at an international conference, preferably a high-level academic conference."

Yang Rui thought about it, and while Li Wenqiang and others were busy verifying the "Golden Standard", he approached Academician Cai and put forward his own request.

As far as the current domestic procedures are concerned, it is the fastest to find institutions such as schools.

Asking foreign scholars to send invitation letters will simplify the procedure, but it will not necessarily speed up the process. Besides, invitation letters from foreign countries also take time.

Academician Cai was quite embarrassed.

International conferences are held every month, and in busy months, there are even a few per month. Moreover, biology is a global scientific research hotspot. Not only can you participate in various international conferences on biology, but you can also participate in international conferences such as organic chemistry. Count.

The crux of the problem lies in going abroad, which is a favorite.

To put it bluntly, in 1984, if any college boy had a place to study abroad or a place to accompany him, he could directly wander around Beijing, find the most beautiful girl in any school to confess his love, and say, "Let's go together!" "Going abroad", which means that the success rate is 90%. If you go to the United States, the success rate can increase by 5 percentage points.

University professors are getting old, and it is impossible to study abroad. Everyone's eyes are on international conferences and visiting scholars.

Visiting scholars are naturally the best, and they are the best choice for older professors. However, visiting scholars first need results, second, recognition from international peers, third, invitation letters from foreign schools, and fourth is the most important point. , requires foreign schools to be willing to pay.

And the premise of all this is to participate in many international conferences.

Needless to say, international conferences held in China, everyone is scrambling to get there, let alone international conferences, the competition is even fiercer.

Especially for the high-level academic conference requested by Yang Rui, he still needs to speak... This is simply the standard for visiting scholars, and some academicians are looking for it.

Academician Cai looked at Yang Rui's thesis over and over again, and it was really difficult to make a decision, so he first asked, "When do you want to go?"

"The sooner the better, no more than two months... I know this request is a bit excessive, but I am worried about being preempted. After two months, the paper may have been published."

Academician Cai smiled wryly: "The number of places to go abroad in the second half of this year has been counted out. If you have already stayed in school, it will be easier to handle..."

Scholars below the academician level may be able to go abroad once in their lifetime, and it would be a deadly enmity to ask anyone to give up their quota, just like a house allocation, this kind of welfare within the establishment, anyone will fight for it .

Yang Rui tentatively said: "I can go abroad at my own expense, as long as I find an invitation to an international conference..."

"It's not about money, tens of thousands of dollars is nothing." Academician Cai interrupted Yang Rui with a wave of his hand, and looked down at the article again.

Yang Rui was also a little helpless.

The original version was so unpopular.

If it is cloning, let alone cloning a sheep, cloning a sheep embryo, you can go to the world's top biological conferences, and the organizers have to provide various excellent conditions.

If it is a century-old mathematics problem like Fermat's last theorem, it is even more powerful. A group of young or old mathematicians squat in the venue and look at you with stars.

And if you read the original version in 1984, you may or may not see some potential, but no one can see the Nobel Prize.

It will take several years for the potential to be realized. This is already very fast. Many studies often do not realize the importance until the scholar has died for many years...

"Very good project." Of course, Academician Cai did not see the Nobel Prize, but the paper in front of him still made him feel bright, which was the main reason why he had difficulty making a choice. He never thought about it for so long.

The highest achievement of Peking University professors in the 1980s may be a paper with an impact factor of 10.0, but even so, there are so many professors at Peking University, such as Academician Cai himself, who can publish many papers every year in his laboratory 10.0 papers, such articles, are not worthy of his exception.

However, Yang Rui's thesis is more than that.

"Where did you submit your manuscript to?" Academician Cai asked.

Yang Rui replied: "nature."

Academician Cai was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "It's okay, well... You want to participate in an advanced academic conference and try to publish it on Nature, don't you?"

It can be seen that he believes that publishing this paper in "Nature" is risky, but there are also opportunities.

For current Chinese scholars, if they have the opportunity to be published in "Nature", it is of course worth doing their best to increase the chances. Yang Rui's request to attend a high-level academic conference and give a report is also a legitimate reason.

Even for Academician Cai himself, it may take several years for him to publish an article in "Nature", and it takes a little more effort to finish the job.

Yang Rui couldn't explain it, so he said helplessly: "Almost, I'm more worried about timeliness. As you can see, this paper is more about creativity. Although I have applied for a patent, I am still afraid of being preempted."

"There is indeed such a risk..." Academician Cai pondered for a long time, and said, "How about this, I will take it to the meeting, try to get it approved, and then I will ask you for a mobile quota. This way, you won't offend anyone."

He thought very well about Yang Rui. If he deprived a certain teacher of his qualifications for Yang Rui's participation in the national meeting, he would not be able to handle the department head, and he would smash Yang Rui with a brick.

Yang Rui nodded again and again, and said, "It's great to be able to do this."

"There is one more problem." Academician Cai closed the paper, and said again: "Your signature needs to be changed. There is no problem with a single first author and corresponding author. The unit must be Peking University, and you can put it in your ion channel laboratory. In the name of Huarui Laboratory, I can pass it, and other committee members also have something to say, you can’t give the quota of going abroad from Peking University to foreign laboratories.”

Yang Rui was so busy that he didn't notice this big oolong at all, so he was speechless.

"This project was established by Huarui Laboratory, it was carried out in Huarui Laboratory, and it was paid by Huarui Laboratory... If it is signed by Peking University, the other party will not agree." Yang Rui can only put Huarui Laboratory Take it out and top the cylinder.

Seeing that it might be an article of "Nature", Academician Cai nodded slowly and said: "The reason is true, but if you want Peking University to get a quota, you must have Peking University's signature. Well, let you directly write that Peking University is Some have passed, so let’s do it, you can either write a collaborative experiment, such as Sinovel Laboratory and Peking University’s Ion Channel Laboratory, or you add a co-first author, the corresponding author and the first author are still you, and the unit is signed by Hua Rui Lab, like this, everyone knows that it is your project. The co-first author writes behind you and signs Peking University. As for Huarui Laboratory, please ask them to understand that you are the person in charge of the laboratory, so you should be able to convince them."

The academic transaction was so beautiful and refined, Yang Rui didn't know how to react.

Inwardly, Yang Rui has no moral obsession. China has always paid attention to egalitarianism. Any migrant worker in scientific research who does something higher than washing test tubes dares to say collective contribution. At least their leaders can get a place to go abroad to participate in conferences, and they have won favorable conditions for the publication of papers. It is also very hard for ordinary school leaders to fight for a place to go abroad.

However, Yang Rui is very clear about the real value that Academician Cai cannot see.

This is a Nobel Prize-level thesis. Although the school leaders can’t win the Nobel Prize, but a Nobel Prize-level thesis is signed, and it’s too bad to change a quota for going abroad.

More importantly, Peking University has to participate in the signature, which will seriously affect the patent.

But if he cannot go abroad to participate in the conference, "Nature" will reject another manuscript, and Yang Rui's right to discover will be seriously affected.

At this time, the original development company, Cister, already has a prototype, and they don't pay much attention to it at present, but once they retrieve the patents that are being applied for, in order to reduce losses, they will definitely speed up the project, and at the same time Patented.

As a result, China's patent and discovery rights will also be seriously affected.

Just like the streptomycin lawsuit, I don’t know how many stories have been exhausted from the lawsuit and finally reconciled.

When it comes to court, the legal profession is not asking for truth and fairness.

Yang Rui couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
