Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 61

Both Lin Jinglan and Gao Chi stared at Professor Zhang intently, waiting to hear what Professor Zhang said that made him feel that Lin Jinglan's paper was not suitable for submission to Energy Policy.

"I'm afraid you two don't know that just last year, the journal Energy Policy was included in SCI."

Lin Jinglan let out a sigh of relief, and her heart fell back into her stomach. It turned out that it was this that made Professor Zhang hesitate.She chose Energy Policy precisely because it has been included by SCI!She had made up her mind a long time ago that she would try to publish an SCI article, and she didn't consider those that were not included in SCI when choosing a journal.

Contrary to Lin Jinglan's relaxed expression, Gao Chi gasped when he heard Professor Zhang's words, his eyes widened, "This is a journal indexed by SCI? Then why submit..." Gao Chi's voice gradually weakened After going on, he realized that he would not save Lin Jinglan face by saying this, so he stopped what he hadn't finished speaking.

But the facts are here!How many people have been studying for a Ph.D. for five years, trying their best, just to publish an SCI, but it is often difficult to achieve their wish.When a journal is included by SCI, it means that it is recognized in the academic circle, and the submitted papers will increase exponentially at once.Even though Lin Jinglan's thesis is quite good, compared with the papers written by thousands of masters and Ph.D.s in countless countries, is it still better?
We all know that this journal was just included in SCI last year, so why did you submit a paper?Are you waiting to be rejected?

But it is clear that neither Professor Zhang nor Lin Jinglan have the same ideas as Gao Chi.Professor Zhang looked at Lin Jinglan with questioning eyes, "I have analyzed it thoroughly. The current situation is that if you insist on submitting to Energy Policy, you are likely to be rejected. I have several other English journals that are suitable for me. No matter which one you submit to, it’s almost a matter of being included.”

"What are your plans?" Professor Zhang asked.

Lin Jinglan replied without hesitation, "Just vote for Energy Policy."

There is no hesitation at all. If her paper is included in Energy Policy, then she will have the first SCI in her life.Even if she failed, she could still submit to other journals again, and she couldn't bear such a small setback.

Professor Zhang was worried that Lin Jinglan didn't understand the twists and turns, and specifically reminded, "If you are rejected, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and it will take a few months for you to submit to the next journal. The next thing will happen. The field of your thesis is a research hotspot, and researchers from many countries are doing research at the same time. If anyone has made similar results to yours and published a similar paper, then your paper will most likely not be published.”

Lin Jinglan nodded. Of course she understands this, but she still takes the risk. Even if this paper cannot be published, she will have the next one, the next one...

This will not be a reason to stop her at all.

Seeing Lin Jinglan's firm attitude, Professor Zhang smiled a little.Although he gave Lin Jinglan the right to choose, in Professor Zhang's heart, he still hoped that Lin Jinglan would fight for it.If it is possible to publish an SCI article, it will not only be Lin Jinglan's personal achievement, but also the achievement of their research group and their department.

Lin Jinglan will sometimes become the youngest person in their department to publish SCI.Professor Zhang thought, no, not only in their department, but also in the whole school, and even in the whole country, how many students can publish SCI at such a young age?

Professor Zhang asked casually, "Jing Lan, how old are you this year? Are you eighteen?"

Lin Jinglan replied with a smile, "Professor, I am already twenty years old, and I have repeated the college entrance examination for two years."

Professor Zhang looked shocked, "Retake the college entrance examination? You?" He couldn't accept it at all. How could Lin Jinglan, a student with such extraordinary talent, need to repeat the college entrance examination?
Lin Jinglan just smiled vaguely, "I didn't perform well in the previous two college entrance examinations."

Professor Zhang automatically understood that Lin Jinglan encountered something that particularly affected her performance during the previous two college entrance examinations, otherwise he couldn't figure out why a person of Lin Jinglan's level would perform abnormally in the college entrance examination.Professor Zhang comforted Lin Jinglan, "It's okay. Although you are a little late in college, you have already gone ahead of too many people. Your current level is no worse than that of a college graduate."

"You have worked hard in my research group for four years of undergraduate study, and communicated with you in time if you have any questions. When you graduate, you will definitely reach a new level." Professor Zhang said to Lin Jinglan.

Gao Chi heard Professor Zhang's words full of admiration and support for Lin Jinglan, and he felt sour, but he was also convinced. After all, to be honest, his current level may not be as good as Lin Jinglan, let alone his university. It's time to start school.

After mailing out the thesis, just in time for the weekend, Lin Jinglan also gave herself a little vacation.She will never forget how she got here, so no matter how busy or tired she is, she still pays attention to her body, noticing the tension and relaxation.

In the clothing wholesale market, Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui were walking around one by one.Lin Jinglan helplessly looked through the clothes on the hanger one by one, lamenting in her heart that the world without Taobao is really sad.

Both she and Zhou Hui are in urgent need of buying clothes.People rely on clothes, and it saves her and Zhou Hui from being scrutinized suspiciously when they go to have a meal or do errands.

In fact, Lin Jinglan didn't want to go to the wholesale market, but wanted to go to a more high-end clothing store, but Zhou Hui refused, so Lin Jinglan had to accompany Zhou Hui to visit the wholesale market.

However, after Lin Jinglan wandered around for a while, she was surprised to find that most of the clothes in the clothing wholesale market were of acceptable quality, and the fabrics and workmanship were acceptable. At least Lin Jinglan did not see those paper-like inferior fabrics in the wholesale markets of later generations. .

Everywhere you look, the wholesale market is filled with bat shirts and narrow-leg pants, which are in vogue these days.After Lin Jinglan tried on a bat shirt, she found that it was not suitable for her. This body was petite and her shoulders were not broad, so the bat shirt was still suitable for tall and thin people.

Zhou Hui also had the same idea as Lin Jinglan, thinking that Lin Jinglan doesn't look good in bat shirts, but there are very few other styles of clothes in the wholesale market.Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui strolled to a shop in the corner. As soon as Lin Jinglan entered, she felt a bright light in her eyes. After all, not all bat shirts were hanging on the hangers.However, Lin Jinglan hesitated after seeing the price tag. The clothes in this store were obviously [-]% more expensive than those in other stores. Lin Jinglan didn't care, but she was worried that Zhou Hui would think it was expensive.

Unexpectedly, seeing her pause, Zhou Hui immediately understood her thoughts, "Go ahead and have a look, you get what you pay for."

Seeing the slightly surprised look on Lin Jinglan's face, Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Your mother is not a stingy person, she just spends money in moderation. If you have money, you don't panic."

Lin Jinglan felt a little guilty, thinking that she spent all her money on buying a house, so don't let Zhou Hui know.

Lin Jinglan first picked out a pair of loose overalls from the shelf. She really couldn't accept the popular bodybuilding pants.She searched the shelves for a long time, and finally found the simplest white cotton shirt, picked up two pieces of clothing, and prepared to go to the small fitting room enclosed by a curtain in the corner of the store to try on the clothes.

Zhou Hui looked at the shirt and overalls in Lin Jinglan's hands, and frowned, "How can a young girl be dressed so plainly?"

Lin Jinglan smiled and shook her head, "This is how you look young, but at your age, you should dress brighter."

After Lin Jinglan changed her clothes, she came out of the fitting room, and Zhou Hui and the owner of the store were all impressed.Lin Jinglan's white shirt on her upper body and overalls on her lower body are all in the simplest style without any fancy style. When she wears it, she looks youthful and full of vitality, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The owner said sincerely, "The little girl is really pretty. There are too many people who have tried shirts and overalls here. No one can have the same effect as you after wearing them."

Lin Jinglan looked at herself in the mirror and felt very satisfied. This outfit is simply a magic weapon for reducing age. She immediately looked several years younger.

The shopkeeper continued, "But I have never seen anyone match it like you. Usually, a white shirt is paired with a bright skirt, or overalls are paired with a fancy top. It looks even better."

Zhou Hui asked Lin Jinglan to turn around, looked her up and down, and said, "Buy this one." Then he handed Lin Jinglan a skirt, which Zhou Hui chose for Lin Jinglan while she was trying on clothes. of.

"Go and try. You wear pants every day, and you don't even have a skirt." Zhou Hui said.

Lin Jinglan looked at the goose-yellow dress in Zhou Hui's hands, and felt a bit embarrassed. Isn't this color too fresh?

Zhou Hui pushed Lin Jinglan into the fitting room and ordered, "Hurry up and try it on."

Lin Jinglan had no choice but to go in, and just as she untied the straps of her overalls, she heard a surprised female voice outside, "Huh? Isn't this Miss Zhou? Are you here to buy clothes? What a coincidence!"

Lin Jinglan heard the voice very familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Immediately afterwards Zhou Hui's voice sounded, "What a coincidence, I am here with my daughter. You are also here to buy clothes?" What?
But to Lin Jinglan's surprise, she heard the woman say, "No, I'm not here to buy clothes."
