Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 25

"Principal, I have another idea for a thesis, but I need to consult some documents." Lin Jinglan found the principal and said straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the principal smiled happily, "Publishing a paper is a good thing! Are you sure you can publish this paper?"

Lin Jinglan nodded, "I dare not say that I am [-]% sure, but I have great hopes. I would like to ask for a day off and go to the city library to check the documents."

The principal pondered for a while, "Guaranteed not to affect academic performance?"

Lin Jinglan said firmly, "I promise it won't affect you!"

"Okay." With a wave of his hand, the headmaster personally wrote a note for Lin Jinglan, and then asked, "Do you want to find a teacher from the school to accompany you?"

Lin Jinglan was flattered, "No, you don't need to bother. I'll just go by myself." Her literature review was just a cover, and her review was actually finished and placed in the system space.If a teacher followed her, she would be really afraid of revealing her secrets.

The headmaster didn't insist anymore, he just told him, "Then you must pay attention to safety."

Lin Jinglan took the principal's library card and walked to the second floor of the Shang Library, the reading room of science, technology, agriculture and medicine.

The reading room was empty, no one else came in except her.An old man guarding the reading room was sitting at the door. Seeing Lin Jinglan handing over her library card, he looked at her with surprised eyes for a long time.

Lin Jinglan walked into the reading room and coughed several times, the air was filled with the choking smell of dust.Lin Jinglan searched for the documents cited in her thesis one by one, but after a while, she found that although the books on the bookshelf were neatly arranged, the order was extremely messy, and they did not follow the order of the retrieval numbers at all.

Lin Jinglan searched through rows of bookshelves all morning before finding the two papers she cited.Lin Jinglan rubbed her sore shoulder and had to give up the idea of ​​finding her more than [-] references one by one.She inspected the bookshelves, and pulled out all the books that had anything to do with energy.

Let's just borrow these books to pretend, Lin Jinglan decided, anyway, no one will actually open the books she borrowed and read them carefully.

Lin Jinglan carried more than ten books and put them on the table at the door of the reading room, "Master, I'll borrow these, please register them."

The uncle looked at Lin Jinglan with more and more surprise, "So many?" A local registered the title of the book in the notebook, and muttered, "What are these... foreign new energy, foreign coal news..."

The uncle stopped writing and looked at Lin Jinglan warily, "Why do you borrow so many materials from abroad?"

Lin Jinglan had no choice but to explain, "I need it to write a thesis."

The uncle looked at Lin Jinglan, not believing it at all, "Don't fool me, you are just a high school student, right? How can you write any papers?"

Lin Jinglan couldn't laugh or cry, she really didn't bother to explain.Suddenly, I realized that what she just said was vague, and pointed to the library card to show the uncle, "It's not that I want to write a thesis, it's our principal, look, this is our principal's library card, I'm just an errand student."

The uncle suddenly realized, and then handed over a stack of books to Lin Jinglan.Lin Jinglan took the heavy book and praised her wit.

A few days later, Lin Jinglan took another day off, first went to the post office to mail out the summary she had written, and then went to the city library to return the book.

Seeing Lin Jinglan returning the book, the uncle was stunned, "Your principal has finished reading all these books?"

Lin Jinglan pretended to be bewildered, "How do I know if the principal has finished reading it?"

The uncle sighed, "Oh, you don't know, but I know. So many books are only used for a few days, and I can't even learn a superficial thing. I have seen a lot of them in the library. What is reading? I just use books to learn." It's just for show."

The uncle muttered to himself, "I didn't borrow it for a few more days just to show off, but I returned it so quickly. Sigh... your principal is really good at making troubles..."

Lin Jinglan silently apologized to the principal, she really didn't mean to recruit black people for him.

Lin Jinglan's second paper was submitted to "Energy", a journal that has just been published for two years, and the sponsor is Energy Research of the National Development and Reform Commission.This journal is actually the predecessor of China Energy.

A few days later, Lin Jinglan's paper was sent to the review department in Beijing.The manuscript review requires a preliminary review of the paper. If the preliminary review is passed, the review department will then be responsible for sending the paper to several reviewers in turn.

"Qingshan Middle School, Lin Jinglan... who is this person? A middle school teacher actually submitted a paper to our "Energy"?" Xiao Wang from the manuscript review department was sorting out the letters received today.

The colleague sitting on the side laughed, "It is estimated that there is an urgent need to publish papers to evaluate professional titles, so submit randomly. But if you submit to us, you will definitely not pass."

Xiao Wang opened the envelope, glanced through it quickly, and immediately laughed loudly, "Guess what he wrote? You will never guess!"

"What is it?" Colleagues around asked curiously.

Xiao Wang revealed the mystery while laughing, "Summary!"

With a bang, laughter suddenly rang out.Someone asked, "Lin Jinglan from Qingshan Middle School, I have never heard of it, and he has never published papers in the field of energy, right?"

Everyone recalled together, "I have never seen this name..." "Don't mention the first author, this name has never appeared in the place of the fourth and fifth authors."

Due to work reasons, the people in the review department of "Energy" are also familiar with the papers in other energy-related journals, and they know exactly what papers have been published by which big cows.

Xiao Wang no longer wanted to read the paper in his hand carefully, and wanted to throw it away, "Don't waste your time, you will definitely not pass our preliminary review here."

Old Hu on the side quickly stopped Xiao Wang, "It can't be like this, since people voted here, we can't save our work, how can we just throw it away without even looking at it?"

Lao Hu is a senior senior than Xiao Wang. Although Xiao Wang thinks it is unnecessary, he does not want to argue with Lao Hu, so he still looks at it.

Unexpectedly, after only reading the first page, Xiao Wang was stunned.He endured the surprise in his heart, and quickly continued to look back.

After reading the whole review, Xiao Wang couldn't recover for a long time, and finally had to pass it to Lao Hu who was beside him, "Master Hu, you have more experience than me, please help me read this review again."

Master Hu was also surprised to see Xiao Wang like this.He didn't let Xiao Wang throw it away just now because he was serious about his work and couldn't see Xiao Wang being perfunctory.But he also felt that the review written by a middle school teacher who had never published a paper in the field of energy must be a pile of rubbish.

Master Hu took the letter in surprise and looked at it carefully.After reading it over and over again, Master Hu put down the letter paper in his hand, sighed and said, "Send it to the reviewers in those universities."

Hearing Lao Hu's words, other colleagues came over with a look of surprise, and passed on Lin Jinglan's papers to each of them.

Xiao Wang was surprised when he heard Lao Hu's words, "Really want to send it? The reviewers are too busy. A review written by an unknown person will not be published anyway, right? Waste the reviewer's time... "

Lao Hu shook his head, "Why can't the review written by the unknown be published? Is it because we only recognize the authority and not the quality of the paper? No."

Lao Hu continued, "Because I have never seen a valuable review written by an unknown person."

Lao Hu educated Xiao Wang, "But what about this review? You have read it, and you should know it well. Since the quality of this review can pass our preliminary review, why not send it to the reviewers?"

Another colleague also read Lin Jinglan's review at this time, and echoed Lao Hu's words with a complicated expression, "Send it. This review is really good."

Xiao Wang nodded, took out three papers sent by Lin Jinglan in quadruplicate, put them in envelopes, and wrote the addresses of the three reviewers on the envelopes.

In the 80s, there was no such thing as blind review of paper review, and reviewers could directly see the name and affiliation of the author of the paper.

When Professor Lu received Lin Jinglan's paper from the review department of "Energy", the first thing he saw were the words Lin Jinglan and Qingshan Middle School.

Although I was surprised and surprised that a middle school teacher's paper could pass the preliminary review and be sent to him, Professor Lu is the most rigorous in his studies, so he still read this paper carefully.

After reading two lines, Professor Lu was even more surprised when he found that this was still a review.

But he read two more lines, and was attracted by this review—the structure of this review is very clear and the language is very rigorous.Professor Lu involuntarily accelerated his reading speed and couldn't wait to read the content of this review.

After reading it in one breath, Professor Lu stood up excitedly.Although this review is very basic, the evaluation and outlook in it are quite valuable, and may even be very instructive for research in the next few decades.

Such a prospect is really very feasible...Professor Lu excitedly thought that the author who can write such a prospect must have profound attainments in this field!

In fact, although Lin Jinglan's professional level is high, it has not reached the astonishing height that Professor Lu imagined.It's just that she came back decades later and already knew the progress of the research, so writing "Prospect" in this way is actually writing a summary for her...

Professor Lu wrote down his pen and wrote down his review opinion without hesitation——

by!

At the same time, Professor Zhang in Beijing also read Lin Jinglan's review, but did not immediately write down the review opinion.

Professor Zhang thought that this review was indeed well written, and the cited literature and data seemed to be fine.If it was written by a university professor, he would not doubt it at all.

But the author is a middle school teacher, and many of the documents cited in it may not have the opportunity to consult them at all.

With a rigorous attitude, Professor Zhang decided to go to the library tomorrow to check the literature cited in the paper.Although there seems to be no problem, the possibility of data falsification cannot be completely ruled out...

If the data is really falsified, it is not a problem of the quality of the paper, but a problem of the character of the author.Professor Zhang has also exposed several authors who falsified data before, and he never tolerates such behavior.
