More notably, Cao Yuan is the first author of the first paper, and he and his tutor * * * are also the corresponding authors of the article. In the second paper, Cao Yuan and two other authors are tied as the first author.
In the academic circle, the first author is regarded as an absolute contributor to the paper, while the correspondent is usually a project leader such as a professor and one of the main creative contributors to the paper.
In fact, this is not the first time that Cao Yingyuan has gained international attention. In fact, as early as March 6, 20 18, when the grassland was only 2 1 year old, two natural papers were published in one day as the first author. After the publication of the paper, it immediately aroused the response of the whole physics community, and it was reported that the problem that troubled the world 107 was solved in one fell swoop. Let's talk more here. It is difficult to publish general papers in Nature. Some scientists can only publish 1-2 articles in their lifetime, while Cao Yingyuan can publish two articles on the same day. You can imagine how important his theory is.
In 20 18, Cao Yuan, then a student, was named one of the top ten scientific figures who influenced the world in 20 18 by the British magazine Nature.
There are also some media reports that it is only a matter of time before the Nobel Prize is awarded to him.
Although Cao Yuan's research has been well received at home and abroad, some people still don't understand why Cao Yuan, a China native, wants to publish his research papers in English journals.
In fact, this question is very valuable. Through this question, we can understand why China people are proud to publish their papers in English journals.
Papers published
In fact, scientists need to shout their own achievements like stars when doing research, but stars are facing ordinary audiences, while scientists are facing other scientists.
The main research work of scientists is innovation, but are their research results correct? In fact, the author is not the only one in charge. For example, when I say that I have studied a superconductor, when I submit my research results to my peers for review, my peers will point out my mistakes through my paper, thus denying my theory.
When I handed it over to my peers for review, I didn't directly look for my peers one by one, but published it in the corresponding journals for my peers who also subscribed to the journals to read.
But there are so many periodicals, how can I choose which one to contribute? There are several important criteria here: journals in related fields; Journals that are highly concerned by scientists.
If I put my paper in an unpopular journal, the journal may only have 100 subscribers, which shows that it is difficult for my article to attract wide attention from peers when it is published in this journal.
If I put my paper in a popular journal, it will attract the attention of most scientists all over the world, which means that my article can arouse heated discussion among peers.
However, popular journals will not randomly include my articles, on the one hand, because the number of articles that can be included at one time is limited, and on the other hand, in order to ensure its authority, journals will screen papers. Generally, articles with high repeatability such as lack of innovation, false experimental data and papers will be screened out.
However, if it passes this stage, it will not be published immediately. The editor of the magazine will also make suggestions for revision, adjust the content for revision and review, and many articles will be screened out in this process. Generally speaking, it takes 3- 12 months for an article to be submitted and finally published. Of course, if the research content is very popular or the results are particularly huge, it may be published in a short time.
Why should Chinese studies be published in English journals?
In fact, the reason why Sinology should be published in English journals is that almost all journals that are highly concerned by scientists are English journals.
To evaluate the influence of a periodical, we can look at the influence factors of the periodical. The calculation method of the impact factor is IF (year) = the number of citations of all articles in the last two years/all articles in the last two years.
For example, if the journal published 100 articles in the last two years, and one * * * was cited 200 times, then the impact factor of the journal is 2.
It can be seen from this that the higher the impact factor, the higher the recognition rate of peers, and the impact factor will be updated once a year.
From the influence factors of 20 19, we can see that the top journals are all English journals. For example, the impact factor of Nature is 40. 137, ranking 13.
The influence factor of Cell Research in China is 17.848, which is the highest among China journals, but its influence is far less than that of Nature. By the way, some Chinese periodicals have great influence in the world, depending on the field of periodicals. )
In other words, Chinese periodicals are not as influential as English periodicals in the world. If an author is published in a Chinese journal, then his article can only attract the attention of Chinese scientists, but not international attention, so that the author's achievements cannot be known to the public. This is not conducive to scientific exchanges, but also to the scientific development of our country.
abstract
In fact, the most popular international journals at the beginning were not English journals, but German, because there were many top scientists in Germany at that time. However, with the transfer of science center from Germany to the United States, the scientific level in the United States has greatly improved, so that almost all mainstream journals are English journals at present.
China's scientific research is published in English journals because only journals with high attention can get more and more professional peer review, and their own research can get enough attention.
