Chapter 514 The greatest discovery at the beginning of this century
"Inexplicable!" The editor of the Nature journal put down the phone and continued his review work.
"How about Gammas?" A colleague next to him smiled and put a cup of coffee on his desk.
"It's nothing, just a person who wants me to review the manuscript in advance, saying that he is the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics." Gamas took a sip of coffee, his tone full of jokes.
"Hahaha, I also received calls from three Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry and two Nobel Prize winners in Physics yesterday," Gamas's colleague laughed, "As a result, when I read their articles, I was stunned three times in a row. I can’t even reach the level of the article.”
In their Nature magazine, the submitted articles are divided into four levels, the lowest level is the third level, which is an article that is extremely mediocre throughout. This kind of article is basically typed back directly. The proportion of this kind of article is 90% %above.
Second-level articles have a certain breakthrough in academics. After some revisions, they have the opportunity to be promoted to the first-level.
As for first-level articles, they need to be paid attention to by their editors. If they reach the level of first-level articles, after some revisions and supplementary data, etc., there is a great chance that they will be published in magazines.
And the highest level must have a certain breakthrough in the topic selection, and the content must be very substantial. Generally, it solves the basic problems of certain subjects or has a huge breakthrough in the application. It needs to be converted into economic benefits. Measured at more than $10 billion.
But there are too few such articles, and it takes several years to come across a top-level article. Once discovered, these editors will try their best to grab it.
If you are lucky, the content of this article won a world-class award, and the names of their editors will also appear on the corresponding article, and the most direct thing is that there will be a generous bonus.
"Would you like to ask Curry to take a look in advance, maybe he can really win the Nobel Prize?"
"Hahaha, if you want to mention it, don't disturb my work here!" Gamas said with a headache on his face, "I haven't seen a high-quality article for a long time, if there is no good article to submit this month , the editor-in-chief is going to trouble me."
"Then you go ahead, I'll go and check to see if there are any good articles," Gamas's colleague returned to his desk and began to fish among the hundreds of submissions today.
Such scenarios occur in almost every top journal.
Although there have been many similar situations in history, for example, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry was rejected, or the manuscript was put in the library for a year or two before it was seen, but that is a minority after all. How many Nobel Prize winners can there be in a year?So lucky that it happened to be their turn?
"There are really no high-quality manuscripts today," said Gamas's colleague Mohad, who began to look through the submission system.
"Based on the "low Bora number" to prove that cats can be solid or liquid"
"It's so big that there are all kinds of forests, and there are people who write this kind of article?"
"Y channel earphones for baby prenatal education"
"Baby pod boy, this. Vagina recorder?"
"Determining the degree of human preference for durian by brain ct scan"
"This thing dares to say that he is going to judge the biology award?"
"The Effects of Mice Wearing Underpants on Mating"
"...God, can human beings really be saved?"
In fact, this is not the first time that Mohad has seen such outrageous articles. In their submission system, they can see some weird submissions almost every now and then. This is actually a very interesting part of their boring work.
Proof of the Existence of Dark Matter in the Universe by Trap and Catch Method
Suddenly, an article with a very eye-catching title caught Mohad's attention.
Human beings have been studying dark matter for 100 years, but so far there has been no progress. The number of research groups in the world that are still studying dark matter is less than one-third of what it was ten years ago.
There is no way, the luxury of a particle collider is always used to study this thing, and even if the research results are achieved, there is almost no direct economic benefit other than reputation, so gradually many people have given up.
Articles on the proof of dark matter seem to have not appeared for several years. In Mohad's impression, the most recent one seems to be four years ago, but because of a very obvious academic error, it was rejected by a reviewer at that time. The draft experts rejected it.
If any of these articles has a chance of winning the Nobel Prize, then the article represented by this title is definitely one. As long as someone can prove the existence of dark matter, that is the undoubted winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
"Astronomical telescopes, particle colliders, cosmic background radiation observations. Tsk tsk tsk, this research group is really rich," Mohad was a little stunned when he saw the instruments used in this article. These things are not ordinary research groups able to use.
"Will it be the Royal Astronomical Observatory or research institute of any country?" Mohad glanced at the mailing address of this article, "Jiangnan University of Technology, Jiangnan City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, China? A university?"
Mohad immediately checked the information. Is this Jiangnan University of Technology a famous university in China?
"China's ranking is 128, the world's ranking. This kind of school still has this kind of resources?"
"The corresponding author is just a title of China's Thousand Talents Program, not even an academician. This is really ridiculous." Mohad just wanted to reject this article directly. A third-rate university and third-rate scholars can research out A problem that has plagued the world for 100 years?Isn't this bullshit?
But when he saw the logical verification and the huge data behind it, he actually found that the author's writing ideas were so clear that even he could understand it!
As an editor of a world-class academic journal, Mohad was actually engaged in academic work, but there is a huge gap between different disciplines and topics. Even if he has some scientific accomplishments, it is generally difficult for him to understand these Article, but this article is so clear.
He immediately put down the work in his hands excitedly, and began to carefully examine this article, and even consulted a large amount of auxiliary materials at the same time. At least there were no common-sense errors that he could find in the article. The whole article was very complete. If the data did not Fake, then this conclusion should be very convincing.
"No, I have to send it to the reviewers immediately!"
Mohad's instinct told him that this is a very remarkable article, even if the conclusion is wrong, as long as the verification process in it is worthwhile, it is not impossible to publish an article in a journal.
if this turns out to be true
Mohad's breathing became short of breath, so this article is likely to win the Nobel Prize in Physics directly. If he is the editor in charge of this manuscript, then relying on this achievement, he can directly win the Nobel Prize in Physics next year. Promoted to editor in chief!
The editor-in-chief of nature, this is a position that ordinary scholars dare not even think about, and its status is even higher than that of ordinary professors!
He immediately sent an e-mail to several scholars he knew, hoping that they could read this article carefully.
Under normal circumstances, these scholars delay reviewing manuscripts again and again, and it is very efficient to give your review comments within one or two months.
But on the third day, Mohd received a call from a professor at the Royal English Institute.
"Professor Preet, have you finished reading that manuscript?" Mohad asked cautiously.
"Ah."
Mohd could hear that something was wrong with the professor's mood.
"Professor, what's the matter? Is there a problem with that article?" Mohad continued to ask. If the quality of the article is too poor, it will be a waste of time for many professors. Under normal circumstances, they will be very angry.
Did I miss it?Mohd could not help but doubt himself.
"Mr. Mohd," said the professor called Preet, took a deep breath, "this will be the greatest discovery of mankind at the beginning of this century!"
