The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 159 You told me this was written by an undergraduate?!

As a journal reviewer, when reading the content of a paper, I often look at the paper team first to see if they are familiar people or experts in the industry.

It's just so true.

Human relationships are everywhere, and reviewers are also human beings, with emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

If there are two papers of the same quality, one written by an acquaintance and the other by a stranger, everyone would know how to choose.

Next come the title, abstract, and conclusion.

To see whether the contribution of this article is reliable, look at the deficiencies of the existing research mentioned at the beginning and whether they match those mentioned at the end.

Generally, at this point, Zeng Yu will make a preliminary decision to reject the manuscript directly or continue reviewing it.

His professional level is sufficient to support him in making the above judgment. It does not mean that you have to watch the whole film before you can draw a conclusion.

This is an academic paper, not an online novel. There is no such thing as a little poison in the beginning but the plot will become exciting after ten chapters.

If the title and abstract are not up to standard, your application will be rejected directly.

If you can't even handle such a simple part, how dare you say you are doing academic research?
It is better to reject the manuscript early so that people can submit it elsewhere, instead of having to wait for a month or two to receive the rejection message, or having it still be rejected after major revisions, which would be so despairing and disgusting.

If there are no problems with the above parts, he will then look at whether the data graph is well done and whether it matches the conclusions of the paper.

After reading all of these, if there are no major problems, then the value of this paper is at least above major revision.

However, major revisions do not necessarily mean that the manuscript will be approved.

I just say there is a chance, but it depends on the specific content of the article.

Most reviewers will not read your paper word by word. For example, Zeng Yu is very busy and has multiple jobs. He only has time to read the manuscript when he comes home at night. He will spend at most 20-30 minutes reading a paper.

Not even 20 minutes!
Then he will simply look at the chapter titles and data graphs to determine whether the paper is valuable.

If your logic is unclear, even if the paper is valuable, its value is very limited, and it is understandable to reject it.

I really don't mean to make things difficult for you.

If the innovative points proposed in the article are attractive enough, he will definitely be willing to spend more time reading it.

When all of the above have successfully attracted the reviewer, he will have the patience to read the entire paper.

Maybe he is not qualified enough, but I believe that most reviewers have a similar mentality to him.

Yes, he was also a student and knows that writing a paper is not easy, but that doesn’t mean you can just write something randomly to fool others!

Can you at least write something valuable?
Otherwise, even if they were acquaintances, he would be embarrassed to give the manuscript to them.

Because the number of manuscripts that pass the preliminary review for their "Youth Social Research" is limited each year, generally twice the number of manuscripts that pass the final review.

If the number of manuscripts reviewed initially is too large, far lower than the number of manuscripts reviewed in the final round, then you need to consider whether your professional level is sufficient to support your role as a reviewer.

……

This paper, titled "Studying the Impact of High Bride Price on the Jiangbei Region from the Perspective of Marxist Political Economy", does have some innovative points upon closer reading.

And quite a few.

The whole article has clear logic and sufficient arguments, and the data charts are beautifully done, which really made Zeng Yu's eyes light up.

Can't even find much that needs major repairs.

Even if there is, it is an insignificant part.

This is really impressive. Obviously he is an experienced thesis writer, or he has an expert guiding him.

Even though their "Youth Social Research" is only a C expansion, it is produced by Peking University, and the review standards are not much lower than other C core journals.

Those who can catch Zeng Yu's eye are naturally not ordinary people.

But at the end, when he saw the author's self-introduction or self-recommendation letter, his expression became a little strange.

"You're telling me, this is a paper written by an undergraduate? There's no team, no mentor?"

Wodefa!
If it's true, it's a bit outrageous.

Even from the perspective of a doctoral supervisor, this article still has certain research value and is highly complete. His master's students or even doctoral students may not be able to write it.

However, someone suddenly told him that the person who wrote the paper was actually an undergraduate student.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Whose general is this, so brave?
It’s just... I don’t know how to describe his current mood, shock, disbelief, anyway, very complicated!

"Could it be that he plagiarized or directly stole other people's achievements?" Zeng Yu frowned.

But then I thought, the person who wrote this paper doesn't even have a team or a mentor, where did he plagiarize? Where did he steal the results?
Looking at the whole article, it is indeed a conclusion drawn from field visits and investigations, with hundreds of sample data as reference. Even if the analysis results are biased, they are sufficient to reflect the local reality.

Faced with this situation, Zeng Yu was a little at a loss.

In their journal, even for master's students, there are very few solo works published, let alone undergraduates.

If this is true, the author of this paper must have done a lot of preparation in advance and read a lot of references, otherwise it would not have been possible to complete the paper to such a high degree.

“Why aren’t people like this my students?”

Zeng Yu sighed inwardly.

This is exactly the student he wants, extremely talented and able to do research and write papers down to earth. Which tutor wouldn't be tempted?
Faced with this situation, he really couldn't bear to reject the manuscript. If they rejected such a paper with above-qualified quality just because of the other party's academic qualifications, then what was the point of their journal?
The purpose of setting a submission threshold is to filter out low-quality manuscripts, not to filter out high-quality manuscripts as well.

As we all know, Kyoto University is an institution of higher learning with a very inclusive academic and school spirit, and the teachers in the school are also influenced by this.

Discrimination based on academic qualifications should not happen at Kyoto University.

However, since he became the reviewer, there has been no precedent for undergraduate solo publication in this journal, and we cannot guarantee that after passing the initial review, the re-review will be passed.

He does not have the right to review or even the final decision.

All he could do was to submit the paper to the deputy editor-in-chief for review and attach his own review opinions.

"Let the higher-ups worry about it!"

He can appreciate it, but he can only do his job well.

……

The villa area of ​​Banshan Haoyuan.

After finishing his meal, Li Beixing went straight upstairs to take a shower.

Li Qiangguang and Jiang Zhiqin were watching TV news in the living room on the first floor.

But Li Qiangguang seemed a little absent-minded today. His attention was not on the TV news at all. He was distracted and didn't respond immediately when he was called.

This is not common.

Jiang Zhiqin asked, "Why didn't you say a word all night? Is there something bothering you at work?"

Li Qiangguang was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you let me know?" Jiang Zhiqin felt even more puzzled when she saw his hesitant expression.

Li Qiguang quickly shook his head: "I just don't know how to start."

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. It can't be that bad." Jiang Zhiqin smiled.

Li Qiangguang was afraid that she wouldn't be able to laugh later.

Facing his wife's inquiring gaze, he could only sigh and say, "My dear girl may have a boy she likes."

ha?
Jiang Zhiqin was stunned: "How did you know?"

"When I went to eat with my friends at noon, I saw her sitting with someone else, eating alone. You know the character of a good girl. When has this happened before?"

Li Qiangguang's face was filled with worry.

He only has one daughter, so it would be a lie to say he isn't worried.

I have been well protected since I was a child. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that I am naive. At least I have not been exposed to the dark side of society. Even after graduation and working, I still retain my positive and cheerful side.

Although Jiang Zhiqin was surprised, she did not make a fuss. Instead, she asked curiously, "What kind of person is he?"

Li Qiguang shook his head: "The distance was a bit far, so I couldn't see it clearly, but I asked Ah Hui to observe him secretly, and he said he looked quite handsome."

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Zhiqin asked with a smile.

Li Qiguang was helpless: "Just observe first and ask someone about the other party's situation. What else can we do? It's not necessary to break up the couple. If the other party's character is acceptable in all aspects and they love each other, what else can parents say? We can only support them."

Jiang Zhiqin nodded slightly, pondered for two seconds, and said: "Since she doesn't say anything, it means it's not the time to confess yet. Just pretend you don't know for now."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "It may not be a bad thing. We should trust our daughter's own judgment. Over the years, she has never made us worry."

Li Qiguang nodded: "Indeed!"

He has asked Chen Hui to inquire about it, and he expects there will be news soon.

It’s hard to tell about private information, but some things that are obvious should be able to be found out.

Then you will know how to deal with it.

……

The next day, the weekend.

Chen Jinghao's vacation was over and he took a bus back to the provincial capital to work.

Even if it is a high-speed train, it still takes five hours, including the waiting time and the time to get to the station. It can only be said that transportation in small cities is indeed far less convenient than that in big cities.

Chen Qiyun was very happy because no one was competing with her for food. She hoped to finish her homework quickly so that she could ask Chen Jingle for his mobile phone to play games.

Today I will try to upgrade my King rank to level 6, and then start playing ranked games.

Chen Jingle’s view remains that as long as the learning tasks are completed and it does not affect learning, appropriate entertainment is acceptable, combining work and rest.

Learning is about efficiency, not about who spends more time on studying.

I had just finished tutoring Chen Qiyun with her homework and was about to cook.

Suddenly, Liang Cheng posted a promotional poster of a local property in Jiangbei on WeChat.

What the hell?
