Chapter 57

"Mr. Yu Xian, I'm sorry, because there are some problems with the layout, your paper has been changed to next month."

This is the second similar reply Yu Xian has received.

The previous similar reply came from the editorial department of Journal of Sandalwood University.

They have already sent a letter expressing acceptance of Yu Xian's paper, which was supposed to be published in July, but it was suddenly changed to August. One can imagine who wrote it.

Except for the "Paleontology Research" in which Yu Xian discovered the high-integrity Stigapterosaur fossils and three papers published in the first half of the year, the other two papers were secretly blocked by Wu Qianshan.

The circle of paleontology is not that big, and with Wu Qianshan's status, his influence is definitely not limited to the journals of Sandalwood University, and Yu Xian is not sure which journals are going to sell him face.

I talked with Wen Zhiyuan yesterday, Wu Qianshan's meaning is obvious.

Yu Xian can work with his laboratory to publish follow-up results on Chipterosaur fossils, or he can work hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination and join his laboratory.

No matter what, Yu Xian will have to waste a lot of time, which is the result of being dependent on others.

The editorial department pushed back Yu Xian's paper, and Wu Qianshan could see the two unpublished papers.

The original manuscripts and letters from the editorial department are in idle hands, Wu Qianshan will not directly copy them.

During the one-month delay, he can definitely "refer to" Yu Xian's paper, and take the Qi pterosaur fossil test, and the team will take the lead in compiling a new article and publishing it.

By then, Yu Xian would be one step behind them, and the significance of the thesis would drop significantly.

"It's disgusting."

At this stage, Yu Xian can choose to withdraw those two journals and give up publishing in the Journal of Sandalwood University and another journal.

In this way, you have to submit manuscripts to other journals, and go through the review and publication process elsewhere, which will only take longer.

For example, "Paleontological Research" only published idle articles two months before and after, which is considered fast in terms of the rigor of core journals.

At that time, Wu Qianshan's team's paper had already been published, following Yu Xian's first paper, and it could be called a cutting-edge achievement.

Picking up the phone, Yu Xian contacted Wen Zhiyuan.

"Professor Wen, I want to withdraw the papers temporarily accepted by the Journal of Tanxiang University."

"Student Yu Xian, you have to think about it."

Wen Zhiyuan couldn't help, and his inner academic conscience tended to be idle, "It will be slower to publish after withdrawing."

"It's okay, I don't want to post it at Sandalwood University."

"Okay, I will help with the operation."

In addition, Yu Xian also inquired about another journal that was also delayed, and it was indeed related to Wu Qianshan.

Not only the universities and research institutes in the south, Wu Qianshan also has a wide range of academic contacts in the north of Tianyi country, no matter how distressed Wen Zhiyuan is, he is not optimistic about Yu's idle time.

"Don't bother Professor Laowen, I'll figure it out myself."

The topic paused, and Yu Xian went straight to the point again, "Professor Wen, is that guy Wu Qianshan busy copying my thesis?"

"This"

There was some hesitation on the phone, and Wen Zhiyuan finally sighed.

"Professor Wu is well-educated, and he certainly won't do low-end things such as copying papers or editing manuscripts, but he will more or less. Sublimate and correct some of the contents of the classmate Xian."

"What a sublimation correction!"

I once heard some rumors that most of the teachers reviewing manuscripts in the editorial department have a background of university teachers, and sometimes they will deliberately reject the papers of the contributors and hand them over to their own students as projects.

At that time, the high-end academic circle was too far away from Xian, and it was unexpected that he would encounter such a bad side within two months after graduation.

Wen Zhiyuan revealed a little information out of his own conscience, Wu Qianshan has already organized a team to study the Qipterosaur fossils intensively.

The Journal of Sandalwood University was originally published in January. In order to catch up with the academic frontier, a special edition will be published in late July to publish Wu Qianshan's achievements.

Therefore, if Yu Xian wants to go to a regular journal, the process is definitely one to two months behind.

"Thank you, Professor Wen."

Everything is different, and Yu Xian still has to express his gratitude to Wen Zhiyuan.

Wen Zhiyuan has been providing help from the assessment of graduation results at Xianghe College to today.

Even though Yu Xian had a bad fight with the School of Paleontology of Sandalwood University, he can't be blamed.

Current time, July 7.

Yu Xian dragged his suitcase and walked on the campus of Sandalwood University.

Before going to the Lianchi Mountains, Yu Xian's plan was to live in Sandalwood University for a while. Wen Zhiyuan also hoped to study together with the fossil discoverer and arranged a residence.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qianshan suddenly jumped out and stepped in, Yu Xian didn't want to stay in this school anymore.

The plan gradually took shape in Xian's mind. Since Wu Qianshan wanted to plunder other people's academic achievements, he let them work for nothing.

After pressing the dial button, the call was answered after ten seconds.

"Yu Lei?"

"Bai Mo, do you have any knowledge about magazines and newspapers over there? You want a decent newspaper, not a playboy."

"Yes." Bai Mo quickly thought of Yu Xian's scholar's disguise, "However. If you want to publish a paper, you'd better post it in a professional place. The newspaper office here at Liujuehu is at most a cultural, entertainment and social science section, with no academic status. of."

"No, as long as it is a regular publication, newspapers are fine."

"Is it so casual? It's not conducive to your academic achievements."

There is a saying in academic circles called "black journals", which means that there is no self-cultivation, and publications that can be published with money are also called "negative journals".

Ordinary undergraduates are fine, but if they are graduate students, publishing papers in negative journals will not get resume points, but will be rejected academically.

In recent years, the official requirements have been strict, and negative journals cannot be published casually, but they still represent a low level.

"Don't worry about it so much, just arrange a weekly magazine for me, and just have something to do with natural science."

"sure."

"That's right, is there any institution in Liujuehu that can perform paleontological identification on the surface?"

"What are you thinking?" Bai Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There are only antique appraisals."

Some artifacts poured out of tombs can be washed out after several turnovers. Liujuehu will use its own organization to issue an appraisal certificate and send it to a regular auction house to appear in the industry to enhance its status.

"Can you measure carbon-14?"

Carbon-14 dating method, by measuring the radiocarbon content in the object, identifies the year of the corresponding object, and is also commonly used in fossil identification.

"It's outrageous. Do you think this tens of thousands, 10,000+ year-old thing is what the cultural relics appraisal agency needs? Liujuehu dug up the stone ax of late Homo sapiens, right?"

After all, Bai Mo said that at most, he would find some partners similar to geological research, at least to solve the problem of the source of data testing reports in Yu Xian's future papers.

On the weekly magazine, if Yu Xian wanted to jump in the queue, he could arrange it every minute, and he didn't need to submit the manuscript in advance, as long as it didn't touch the publishing taboo, he could publish it.

No matter what, it is faster than the second half of the supplementary journal of Sandalwood University.

As soon as Wu Qianshan's paper was published, he found that his research direction was lagging behind the "negative journals", and his reaction was particularly exciting.
