Chapter 510: The paper is on the cover again?

One morning a few days later, Chang Haonan, who had just gone to work, opened his mailbox as usual.

These days, the application of email in China is still limited to a few industries, and its popularity is not high.

Moreover, it was basically the spontaneous behavior of some personnel, and it did not form an overall norm that later or in European and American countries, emails were regarded as legally binding documents.

It's a bit troublesome to face the pile of paper documents all day long, but if you think about it on the bright side, there will be fewer bad things like harassing emails.

So when he saw three unread emails in his mailbox, he was a little surprised.

But if you look closely at the contents, they are all heavyweight.

The first letter was from the editorial department of CMAME, giving feedback on his review comments.

"So fast?"

You must know that less than a month has passed since the submission of the manuscript. Anyone who often submits manuscripts to SCI will know that this efficiency is already quite ridiculous.

After the brief accident, Chang Haonan clicked on the email, opened the folder where the paper was saved, and subconsciously prepared to revise the manuscript.

Based on his experience in submitting papers to SCI in his previous life, even if there are no problems with the content of the paper, reviewers will raise some issues with wording or grammar.

Otherwise, there is no way to reflect the value of being a reviewer.

What's more, since his rebirth, the only thing Chang Haonan has declined is probably his English proficiency.

Xu Yang did not change a word in the main text, so it is normal to make some mistakes.

But when he switched the page to the browser again, there was no attachment in the email content just loaded.

Under normal circumstances, the review comments will be combined into one document and sent.

But this time, the email contained only a few sentences and a link.

The paper does not need to be revised and can be published directly.

The link requires Chang Haonan to click on it and finally confirm the format and content of the publication.

"!!!"

Chang Haonan's hand holding the mouse shook and he almost threw the email into the recycle bin.

Although with his current influence, even if he doesn't publish a single article, he will definitely be able to successfully graduate with a doctorate based on the national defense report. He no longer needs to rely on papers to gain status in the industry.

However, if you don’t need it, you don’t need it. After this wave, the emotional value is always full.

It's like some leaders, although they don't need flattery from their subordinates, they still like to listen to some flattery.

Don’t need ≠ don’t like.jpg

As the top journal in the industry, CMAME's "direct publication" opinion clearly shows its respect for this research result and Chang Haonan himself.

While he mentally commented that he was "fairly discerning", he clicked on the link and confirmed the content and layout of the paper when it was finally published.

Of course, at this time, journals did not publish online in advance.

Many institutions, including Beijing Hang University, even subscribe to paper journals.

So we have to wait until it is officially published.

According to convention, papers submitted in October and reviewed in November will generally have to be scheduled until April or May next year...

Just when Chang Haonan was calculating the approximate official release date in his mind and thinking about whether the Torch Group should make some big news to coordinate with the publicity campaign, he suddenly found another piece of content at the bottom of the link.

He was asked to provide a picture for the cover of the first issue in January 1998...

"..."

It's somewhat of a surprise.

Generally speaking, academic journals are similar to regular subscription magazines, and will release the corresponding periodicals in advance.

For example, the December issue will basically be published in mid-to-early November.

So this January issue is definitely the result of forced stuffing.

Moreover, it also occupied someone else’s cover.

CMAME is relatively ethical. It only has one outer cover and one outer back cover, unlike some journals that create five or six covers to make money.

Chang Haonan had no choice but to silently express his regrets to the author of a paper who had been pushed off the cover by him...

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone again and called Xu Yang and Yang Huimei.

Not to mention the former, she is the one who has appeared on the most cover pages of papers and has experience in this field.

Although the latter is the head of the marketing department, he also handles some publicity work.

After all, the Torch Group's biggest brand is actually Chang Haonan himself. In the past, there weren't many tasks that required additional publicity. Setting up a separate publicity department was a bit wasteful.

I have always let Yang Huimei do both.

Of course the latter refused at first, but it was similar to Liu Hongbo. Considering Chang Haonan and the salary paid by Chang Haonan, it was really good in the end.

……

"Want to make a paper cover related to Torch Group?"

Xu Yang gently straightened his hair, which was a little messy from running all the way upstairs, and sorted out his thoughts:

"Because we have not signed a sponsorship contract with Elsevier, no obvious commercial promotion content can appear on the cover of the journal. What's more, CMAME is a top journal and the management is stricter..."

"I know, that's why I brought you two here to see if there is any more subtle way."

Chang Haonan replied.

Yang Huimei, who was sitting next to Xu Yang, was focused on another issue.

"Mr. Chang, is your paper on the cover?"

"Top issue cover?"

"Or did you jump in line?"

Although her research direction does not involve specific technologies, her SCI papers also have a management/operations research (MS/OR) direction, so she still has a concept of these things.

At the end of the 90s, China was no longer a strong country in scientific research, let alone a strong one in scientific research.

If you can publish a paper in a less prestigious SCI, you can almost find a teaching position in some ordinary universities.

Even the second and even third games are valuable in certain scenarios.

As a professor at Beijing Hang University, Yang Huimei has only published two or three SCI articles.

As for what top issue and what cover...

Never thought about it.

Xu Yang turned his head and looked at the stunned Yang Huimei with very puzzled eyes, as if he didn't understand what she was making a fuss about:

"It's not bad. Wasn't it the same as the last article?"

What she was talking about was, of course, the control science paper that made Chang Haonan and her the godfather and godmother of the DE algorithm.

"And the last time?"

Yang Huimei did not study control theory, but she had heard that Mr. Chang had published a very awesome article before.

The majors are different, and she hasn't read the content.

I don’t even know some of the specific details.

Of course, she knew that now.

Looking at the two monsters in front of her, Yang Huimei felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

"How can I sit down and have a conversation with you two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks..."

Looking at the somewhat depressed Yang Huimei, Chang Haonan felt that even out of concern for employees, she should encourage her.

Otherwise, her work efficiency will be reduced, and she will suffer losses in the end.

"Actually, publishing papers is just one of the ways to prove your own value. If you think about it from other aspects, Professor Yang can also contribute to the country and society in the business field..."

Upon hearing this sentence, Yang Huimei thought it was right. She quickly cheered up and began to discuss the design of the magazine cover.

How to express the characteristics of the Torch Group in a more subtle and subtle way.

The final result is to add an unlabeled calculation cover of TORCH Multiphysics software to the cover...

After the plan was finalized, Yang Huimei got up and left, preparing to return to her office in another building.

But as she walked on the road, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"You can also contribute to the country and society in the business field..."

Yang Huimei stopped:

“Doesn’t this mean that I have no hope in academia???”

But she seemed unable to refute.

Even more powerless...
