Chapter 1050 One tyrant
"Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory."
"Have you received their submission?"
"I haven't seen you yet?"
"No, but the phone number of Director Mei of the China Academy of Public Security has already been called, so it's hard to refuse."
"What I said is that I also received a call from Director Mei."
"Why is the Chinese Animal Husbandry so active?"
"They want to transplant the cow's embryos crazy."
"I don't know what Yang Rui's paper actually wrote."
"It can't be considered Yang Rui's paper, it's from the researchers under his command."
"This is a problem. If Yang Rui signs, I will pass it with my eyes."
"Yang Rui should be the corresponding author."
"The corresponding author and the first author are different after all."
Three editors of animal husbandry journals sat together and naturally talked about Yang Rui and his Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory.
The academic circle is very small, the biological circle is even smaller, and the animal husbandry circle is naturally very small.
The total number of animal husbandry journals in the country is thirty or fifty. If you remove local journals that you entertain and have little-known university special issues, you are qualified to be considered academic journals. You can count them by one or two hands, and there are only about ten core journals, most of which are concentrated in Beijing and Beijing.
Even journals that are not in Beijing or Beijing will eventually set up a branch in Beijing, which is not only convenient for information exchange, but more importantly, most of China's academic resources are concentrated in Beijing, and Beijing branches can easily communicate with Beijing academic circles.
Zheng Xiu from "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine", Kong Xinde from "Chinese Animal Husbandry Magazine" and Zhang Xiangmiao from "Chinese Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" both graduated from Beijing and Beijing Agricultural University. They are in another industry and naturally walk together, sitting up from time to time to exchange information with each other.
Beijing Agricultural University is the predecessor of China Agricultural University. In the 1985, it is one of the most awesome universities in China. Its origins are first and foremost. It was formed by the merger of Peking University Agricultural University, Tsinghua Agricultural University and North China University Agricultural University. In 1954, a total of six key universities were approved nationwide, and Beijing Agricultural University was one of them. The degree of awesomeness was three levels higher than that of later generations. By the 1984 reforms, a total of ten key universities were approved nationwide, and Beijing Agricultural University was still one-tenth.
Graduating from such a school and being assigned to a journal agency is a bit of a loss. However, as far as the journal agency is concerned, Zheng Xiu, Kong Xinde and Zhang Xiangmiao are undoubtedly reserve cadres, and they can even be described as tiger classes - it is almost inevitable to make up for the lack of money, and it is almost inevitable to go straight to the sky.
It is also because of this that the three of them have a strong sense of elites who regard the society as their home and take the development of journals and industries as their mission. If nothing unexpected happens, they have a great chance of becoming the leader of journals.
This gathering was held entirely for the Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory.
Yang Rui is very famous for the animal husbandry circle. Although he has not published a paper, in the biological and academic circles, there are a few people who don’t know about Yang Rui.
The Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory is another extreme.
Municipal laboratories are actually the lowest level of research institutions. District-level laboratories in Beijing are equivalent to municipal-level laboratories. In economically developed places, such research institutions cannot actually study anything.
The paper level in district-level laboratories is usually lower than the lower limit.
Therefore, when encountering a journal with more powerful power, if you see a municipal or district level, you will reject it directly.
Similarly, researchers from district-level laboratories who are a little more familiar will not get into trouble.
When it comes to fairness and justice, respect and being respected, this way of doing things is naturally not good. However, the real society is not fair and just, and respect and being respected.
Moreover, for editors of journals with average values and editorial boards who are peer-reviewed, reading journals in district-level laboratories is indeed a waste of time.
The average annual funding of a laboratory is worth a person, maybe not even 500 yuan. Not to mention running a laboratory, it is not enough to subscribe to journals and professional books in this industry, so what papers can you write?
For example, Yang Rui’s Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory, under Yang Rui’s huge reputation, and finally with infrastructure costs, he received 60,000 yuan in funds. Withdrawing all the expenses, the annual scientific research funding of the 8 researchers is only two or three thousand yuan, which is definitely not more than 5,000 yuan.
As a laboratory without accumulation, there is really no money to make. You can eat porridge by buying a high-magnitude microscope.
For ordinary district-level laboratories, even one-tenth of this money may not be obtained, which means they just live under the same brand.
For example, the top laboratories in fields such as "Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine", "Chinese Journal of Animal Husbandry", and "Chinese Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine" naturally stay away from such district-level laboratories. Even if one or two papers meet their admission standards, the practices of Zheng Xiu and others will be rejected.
The same is true for foreign journals. If you want to establish a reputation, your first priority is to distinguish classes.
Municipal laboratories are the lowest class of Chinese research institutions.
However, Yang Rui is the highest class among Chinese researchers.
This is something ordinary academic bureaucrats or civil servants cannot understand, but no professional in the circle does not know about it.
The combination of Yang Rui and Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory has become an insolvent problem.
It seems to make sense to decide based on the quality of the paper.
Judging the quality of the paper is a very twitching problem.
No obvious bad papers or obvious high-quality papers will make people scratch their heads, however, most papers are actually more moderate.
In other words, the data in the paper is questionable, the arguments and arguments are doubtful, and the conclusions of the paper are lacking persuasive, which is always a common phenomenon.
Three peer reviewers, two agreed with one person’s objection, and even more frequently appeared.
This will not affect ordinary papers. However, when the papers are highly anticipated, the editors are under great pressure.
Editors themselves do not understand academic knowledge, but they are the ones who ultimately decide whether the paper can be published. In this way, the so-called doctrine of meanness will become wider.
Zhang Xiangmiao was most sensitive to this problem. After drinking tea halfway through, he said distressedly: "Yang Rui is not a good person to talk about. Think about what he had done before. I heard that the deputy district mayor of Haidian District was punished by him, and he was still from the Lu family."
"Let's hearsay." Zheng Xiu didn't care much about these secret history of the officialdom.
Zhang Xiangmiao knew his personality and asked, "Guess what I fear the most?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that Yang Rui will compare our previous papers with his papers." Zhang Xiangmiao said coldly: "If he writes another comment, we must be stolen.
Kong Xinde and Zheng Xiu both took a breath.
Journals are academic, but they are not entirely based on academic judgment. There are probably no journals in the world that can do this.
In China in the 1980s, journals that all based on academic judgments could not survive. It was the most common situation for someone to ask for help, and there were also many acts of bribery or buying pages. In short, there were also academic misconduct in schools and research institutes in journals.
A better journal agency means ensuring that most of the papers in their own journals are above the level. That's it, it also faces the situation where people lack their own abilities or peer-reviewed scholars are bribed.
Therefore, the previous papers of any journal can be described as different quality, but it is just a matter of up and down the line with uneven quality.
Such things can be said to be secrets in the journal field, and even secrets cannot be considered.
However, it is also the emperor's new clothes. If the transparent coat of which house is revealed, it will be a thunderstorm in an instant.
Kong Xinde shook his head slightly and said, "He doesn't dare, how many people will he offend?"
"How many people can you offend? That is, you just offend several of our journals and agencies. What are he afraid of?" Zhang Xiangmiao said slowly: "Yang Rui's papers are published abroad, and he doesn't have to care what our domestic journals think. Besides, if he wants to publish papers in Chinese journals, would you dare to refuse?"
Kong Xinde was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Don't say you're rejecting me, I'm going to ask someone to pick up the manuscript."
"So, if, I mean, if, he wants us to record the manuscripts of his laboratory according to the minimum requirements, what should we do?" Zhang Xiangmiao said: "Everyone is watching."
Kong Xinde couldn't speak at all.
Zheng Xiu moved his mouth and thought, "He did this not only offends us. If he pointed out which paper you have poor quality, he would not offend the author to death."
"It's not easy to pick up a few soft persimmons."
Zheng Xiu was speechless. Some scholars spent money on their own to evaluate professional titles and other things, and asked someone to find them, and there were inevitably many soft persimmons.
Kong Xinde twisted and twisted uneasyly, and said for a while: "After talking, are we still afraid of him?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhang Xiangmiao asked.
Kong Xinde couldn't speak anymore, and he said for a long time: "He wouldn't think of what you said."
"He might not have thought that where are the researchers under his command?"
"If this happens, he will become a biological leader? Whose paper he wants, we have to let it be?"
Zhang Xiangmiao poured a pot of tea hot, took a few sips, put it down, and said, "Aren't he?"
The three of them lost interest in speaking, and there was only the sound of drinking tea in the small room.
