011 It is not easy to publish an SCI

For Ning Wei, who was in an addicted state, he was only concerned about outputting the content in his mind madly. This state is actually no different from the immersion of a teenager in the Internet addicted to the game world and the inability to extricate himself.

Or slightly different.

At this time, Ning Wei could not even tell whether it was his brain outputting or a part of his brain outputting.

When he chooses words and sentences, various expressions flow out like a tide. He doesn't even have to think about it, but just let his hands be beaten on the keyboard.

The speed is very fast, and blank documents are quickly overwritten by various formulas and expressions.

Partial differential equations actually belong to mathematical and physical equations, so they are very superficial in their undergraduate studies. Students represented by Xu Ruixuan and Luo Xiang will think that partial differential equations are difficult, but in fact they mainly lie in the complexity of partial differential equations.

Generally speaking, the solution of partial differential equations is still an equation, unlike the solution of total differential divisions, which is a numerical value. In addition, partial differential equations have boundary conditions, many of them have only numerical solutions but no classical solutions.

This makes the entire system of equations look extremely complex.

This is even more true if placed in a paper.

The paper was flipping through the page quickly, and before he knew it, Ning Wei had already written 53 pages of content.

...

"Damn it, Ning Wei, you haven't slept yet?"

"Um?"

After interrupting from the emotions of focusing on output, Ning Wei turned around speechlessly and saw Luo Xiang who had just walked into the door.

If anyone doesn’t go back to the dormitory at night, they won’t lock the door. Generally, they will leave the door for Luo Xiang.

“Yes, write a paper.”

"Writing a paper? No? Are you going to choose the topic of graduation thesis yourself?" Luo Xiang walked into the door and said in a voice.

Xu Ruixuan and Liu Cong slept soundly in the dormitory.

The two guys have always had a good sleep quality. As long as they fall asleep, they basically won’t wake up.

"No, it's just practice your hands in advance to avoid being in a hurry." Ning Wei said casually.

He himself is not sure whether the paper can pass the journal review, and he doesn't want to say too much at this time.

The time when my eyes slid over the computer again, it was already 5:13 am before I knew it. The children who were getting up early had already gone to the morning jog.

Ning Wei felt a little dazed. More than six hours passed so quickly, and he didn't even feel anything.

Fortunately, Luo Xiang was obviously very tired and didn't care what paper Ning Wei was writing. "Ah..." After yawning for a long time, he said, "Okay, I'm so sleepy. I'll wash my face and go to bed first. You can rest early."

"Okay, you go to bed first, I'll take it in." Ning Wei said casually.

Soon Luo Xiang also climbed onto the bed.

When the dormitory became quiet again, the sky was already dark outside the window.

Ning Wei felt very energetic, so he simply continued to be busy in front of the computer.

Time passed quickly. When he finished his papers, it was already dawn and it was already half past eight. The ending was three more hours.

Fortunately, everyone in the dormitory is still in a dream.

But when the paper was finished, Ning Wei discovered another problem. He had not published SCI before and was really not sure about the process of publishing such a top journal.

Fortunately, this is Jiangcheng University.

Soon he found the complete process of publishing several top domestic and international journals on the school forum. Natural also includes the journal Nature.

In fact, he thinks that his papers should be placed in journals that are more in PDE-oriented, such as Comm. Pure Appl. Math. or Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.

But when he thought that Professor Smith posted it on "Nature", Ning Wei finally decided to give it to "Nature" to try his luck.

Log in directly to the online submission system of Nature and start registering an account.

This step is very complicated. You need to fill in your name, work unit, research field, and communication email. You can only get a user name and password after filling it out.

Fortunately, this step was explained in detail on the school forum.

Anyway, just fill in everything truthfully.

When writing about students in vocational schools, the school name is written when writing about their work unit, and when publishing SCI research for the first time, the field of research is based on the direction of the paper.

After logging in, you have to fill in the paper.

First select the paper type, article/letter, the former represents research paper, and the latter represents research news.

The former requires specific research content and more rigorous; the latter is much simpler, and only needs to be novel enough to have some cutting-edge things.

Ning chose article.

In theory, he does have specific research content.

Then there are the title, abstract, keywords.

I filled in my own unit again, name and email. Because he created this paper independently, the corresponding author was himself by default.

Next is the welfare link, where the authors of the paper can recommend or apply to avoid several reviewers.

But this benefit is naturally not useful for Ning Wei.

He is not familiar with him anyway.

When it came to the paper uploading session, according to the advice of the senior brother on the forum, Ning Wei spent another ten minutes to rewrite a cover letter, then reorganized the key elements of the paper, uploaded the original paper, and signed a copyright transfer agreement.

After confirming that all the files were not any problem, Ning Wei gently moved the mouse and clicked the SUBMIT key.

Soon Ningwei received the background status as: manuscript with editor.

According to a kind-hearted senior brother on the forum post, this means that the paper has entered the editor-in-chief candidate system.

There may be several processes next. First, the editor-in-chief conducts a preliminary review of the paper. If you think it is OK, you will forward it to the deputy editor. At this time, the background status will become an associate editor assigned.

At this stage, the deputy editor will look for reviewers to review the manuscripts in a more detailed manner. Generally speaking, the deputy editor will arrange at least two based on the content of the paper, including five or six reviewers for review. After determining the reviewer, the backend will prompt to enter the under review process.

This is the longest time. Because most reviewers are researchers or experts in related fields and are obligated to review the manuscript, it depends entirely on luck to review the manuscript, which depends on whether the reviewer is busy recently.

It may take a few days to pass, but it is not uncommon for a few months to pass.

After all reviewers have reviewed the paper and replied to the deputy editor-in-chief, the backend will enter the manuscript with decision state.

There will be several results at this time.

If you receive it directly, the author will be notified through email to the author's essay will be arranged to be published in that issue.

Reject directly, there is nothing to say.

If you ask for modification, the author will be given a choice at this time, whether he is willing to modify it. If he chooses not, it is equivalent to being rejected and unable to publish.

If you want, the paper will enter the under revision process. The author will receive the revision opinion sent by the reviewer. The author can modify the paper based on this opinion, or directly refute the reviewer's opinions and argue with reason.

Then resubmit the manuscript for review, and then enter the under review process again...

So after seeing the prompt from manuscript with editor, Ning Wei directly shut down the system.

Anyway, according to the normal process, he may not receive feedback in a few months, so there is no need to worry at all now.

After relaxing in one breath, a strong feeling of fatigue came instantly.

After looking at the three people who were still sleeping, Ning thought for a while and simply climbed onto the bed.
Chapter completed!
