I Have a Research Support System

The time for the national awards defense is only three minutes, so the PPT does not need to be too exaggerated, just list the key points.

As a result, Xu Qiu spent three minutes to complete the defense PPT, a total of five pages.

First, he listed his work, including PCE11 and ITIC two AM Grand Slam articles, plus the 3D-PDI article published on NC.

For these three tasks, Xu Qiu intercepted the pictures with title, author and journal LOGO from the original PDF, and then put a corresponding TOC picture (picture version abstract), and the citation format of the document was hung in the lower right corner.

For the two grand slam articles, Xu Qiu also put up the corresponding cover pictures, and hung up the small crown and small flame patterns on wos representing hot articles and highly cited articles.

On the remaining two pages, Xu Qiu enumerated all his academic achievements in the past year, and marked his name in bold, excluding the few articles that were named by Gong Yuanjiang. There are 25 articles in total.

Originally, Xu Qiu wanted to put these academic achievements in a page of PPT, but found that one page could not be listed at all, unless the font was reduced to a very small size, but that would affect the viewing experience of others. In the end, there was no way but to list. Two pages.

Three minutes to talk about five pages of PPT, time is still a bit tight.

Therefore, when replying, Xu Qiu decided to talk about the main highlights of the three masterpieces at will, and let the replying teachers take care of the rest.

After finishing the defense PPT, Xu Qiu began to write a review of "Joules", with the title tentatively set as "Recent Progress of ITIC Series Organic Photovoltaic Non-Fullerene Receptors".

This title seems a bit simple, but after all, it’s not an experimental work. It’s still a bit difficult to make a title full of gimmicks.

Before officially writing the article, Xu Qiu first planned to learn about the basic information of the journal "Joule".

Like the usual ACS, RSC, and Wiley templates are basically the same length, if it is the same series of journals in the same periodical company, the templates are exactly the same.

For example, Wiley's "advanced" series, AM, AEM, AFM, AELM, Adv.Sci., etc., use the same template.

And new journals like "Joule" may produce some "new" things, and the requirements may be different from those of the journals that are usually submitted.

Especially in the reference section, basically every journal company has its own reference format:

Some require that all the authors of the cited literature be listed, some require that the authors only list three or less than three, and other authors use et.al. (etc.) to omit;

Some require the author's last name to be before the first name, such as XuQiu, some require the author's last name to be after the first name, such as QiuXu, and some require the first name to be omitted, such as XuQ., Q.Xu;

Some use commas to connect different authors, and some use semicolons;

Some require no article title in the references, some may or may not, and some require a title;

In journals with titles, some require the first letter of each word in the title to be capitalized, except for some words that do not need to be capitalized, including short prepositions, articles, infinitive code to, and coordinating conjunctions with 4 or less letters. , Some require all letters to be lowercase;

Most journals require that the page number be written in full, such as 388-392, and some only need to write the homepage number, such as 388;

Some years need to be placed in parentheses, while others are period numbers in parentheses;

Most journals can omit the issue number and only indicate the volume number, while some journals must indicate the issue number;

In addition, the rules for italics and bolding of year, volume number, and issue number are different...

All in all, it's very annoying.

Even using the professional ENDNOTE document processing tool, there is no guarantee that you can get the completely correct document format. Basically, you need to manually modify the past one by one.

If the number of references is very large, it may take more than half a day, a whole day, to develop the reference format.

Therefore, it is better to understand these details thoroughly in advance, and be able to do it in one step, so that there is no need to make detours.

Therefore, Xu Qiu inquired about the journal "Joule" on the MEDSCI website.

The most noteworthy thing is the impact factor of the journal.

Although the impact factor is sometimes distorted, and many metrology experts or organizations have proposed a variety of different algorithms, including, etc., to measure the impact of a journal, the impact factor is still the most commonly used criterion so far.

Now, the real-time impact factor of "Joule" has reached 29.1.

From this point of view, the "Joule" editorial team is operating well.

If this impact factor can be steadily increased to about 40, then the gap between "Joule" and the top publications of AM and JACS in a district can be widened, and a firm foothold in the big magazine of "Nature" .

Xu Qiu continued to check that "Joule" and "Cell" belong to Cellpress (Life Science Research Press).

The Life Science Research Press is subordinate to Elsevier, which is the first time the group has been exposed to an Elsevier journal.

In the usual group, Elsevier will be called the "tree leaf" journal, because their LOGO is a tree, and the LOGO will be placed in the upper left corner of the article homepage. The color scheme is also a bit retro, which is very eye-catching. .

However, Wei Xingsi has never submitted a journal under Elsevier, and Xu Qiu has not asked Mr. Wei the specific reason before.

Later, Xu Qiu found the answer in the process of reading the literature-this is actually a choice made by colleagues in the organic photovoltaic field.

Xu Qiu counted 250 articles published in the first and second districts of organic photovoltaics in the past two years. Among them, the three journal companies ACS, RSC, and Wiley are basically equally divided, and the number of articles under each journal company ranges from 50 to 100.

However, there are only 14 articles under other journal companies, 5 articles are "Nature·Communication" (NC), 1 article is "Nature·Materials", 8 articles are NanoEnergy under Elsevier, and NanoEnergy is also a district article. The impact factor is 10+, and the status is almost equal to AM.

Counting it down, Elsevier, which is also known as the world's four major journal companies along with ACS, RSC, and Wiley, accounts for less than 4% of its articles.

It's really bleak...

Xu Qiu speculated that it might be related to Elsevier's main focus on the field of medical biology. For example, its representative journals "Cell" and "The Lancet" are two of the most famous journals in the field of medical biology research.

There are also rumors spreading that Elsevier's journals related to the field of organic photovoltaics, including NanoEnergy, NanoLetter, etc., are now in a very serious circle. Editors "recognize people" instead of rejecting articles directly from insiders, and don't know whether they are true or false.

Of course, even if these rumors are true, it has nothing to do with Xu Qiu. After all, the editor-in-chief of Joule takes the initiative to request a draft.

After understanding the current influence of the "Joule" journal, Xu Qiu opened the "Joule" official website, directly downloaded a few of the latest articles, and began to make templates.

General journal companies will provide a simple template, but that template is really very simple, equivalent to nothing, it is better to download an original text and apply it.

After reviewing it, Xu Qiu found that the new issue of "Joule" was really fancy, full of slots.

The first is the journal style. Looking around, it's green:

The journal LOGO is green, the abstract text is green, the subtitle is green, and the hyperlink is green, including a large green square on the right side of the CellPress (Life Science Research Press) logo in the upper right corner. Well used...

To explain, probably Joule can think of energy, and energy extends to new energy. Finally, new energy associates with green new energy, so it is green...

Although the logic is somewhat forced, it is barely reasonable.

Secondly, the homepage of the "Joule" article is a thief-sized TOC, which occupies more than half of the page. Below is a text description of the TOC. On the right is the "Highlights" column. It is required to list the highlights of the three articles, in addition to similar In the "Context&Scale" of the EES Journal, supplement to the abstract and introduction.

How should I put it, the whole is quite complete.

But to be honest, Xu Qiu feels that this is not very meaningful.

Readers are struggling to read, and authors are struggling to write. The same content needs to be expressed in five different ways...

Third, the location of the abstract is not honestly named "Abstract", but changed to "Summary". The headline of the conclusion is omitted, but the content is still there.

The text is double-column, with text on the left and notes on the right, with a space ratio of 2:1.

But because there are no remarks in most cases, a lot of blank space is left on the right, which is equivalent to a single column.

Normally, other journals have 1:1 double-column sizes. I am used to the 1:1 double-column, and then look at the 2:1 double-column, which is really unaccustomed.

The column is related to the journal company. The standard articles of "Nature" and "Science" have three columns. ACS, RSC, Wiley, and most journals including Elsevier have two columns of 1:1. Although CellPress belongs to Elsevier, Relatively independent, so it's not surprising to make some flowers live.

In addition, similar to "Nature" sub-journals, detailed experimental procedures and author contributions are required.

Finally, the key point is that, as a journal at the level of "Nature", the processing speed of "Joule" manuscripts is very fast.

Several key time nodes of one of the manuscripts are as follows:

Received: April 25, 2015 (Submission: April 25, 2015)

Revised: May 22, 2015 (Revised: May 22, 2015)

: June5, 2015 (Accepted: June 5, 2015)

Published: July 3, 2015 (Official publication: July 3, 2015)

This was something Xu Qiu had never thought of. It only took 40 days from submission to acceptance, including one revision.

When he submitted an article on "Nature·Energy" before, he also checked the key time points of the manuscripts of several journals of "Nature". They did not list the time when the manuscript was revised, but most of the articles should have been revised. One article is like this:

Received: 22November, 2015 (Submission: November 22, 2015)

: 16March, 2016 (Accepted: March 16, 2016)

Published: 23April, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com2016 (officially published: April 23, 2016)

It took four months from submission to acceptance, which is the average manuscript processing time of the “Nature” journal.

Moreover, Xu Qiu turned through five documents, and the time was not less than three months.

Of course, if it is a non-Nature journal like NC, the review speed will be faster.

Like before, he and his school girl each sent an NC, and the review speed is relatively normal, which is equivalent to AM and EES, which takes more than a month.

Therefore, Xu Qiu estimates that as long as he writes this "Joule" article fast enough, it may be published faster than the previous "Nature·Energy" article.

PS: Due to the need of the plot, the time when the new issue appeared in the article does not completely correspond to the reality. In reality, "Joule" was first published in 2018, and "Nature Review Materials" and "Nature·Energy" were first published in 2016.
