Chapter 898: Professor Chang published another paper?

The content of this paper is relatively short and concise, and it was finally completed in less than a week.

After all, this is what Chang Haonan plans to introduce into TORCH Multiphysics in the future.

Apart from the mathematical derivation part, it only involves some calculation principles, and it is impossible to write down all the details of the specific implementation.

That would be corporate espionage.

By then, someone will have gotten there first, and then we can check it out.

Hey!

It was leaked by my own boss.

That would be funny.

As for submissions...

In fact, there is no need to submit any article.

After all, the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has not yet been officially launched, and the publishing house has just been established.

And Chang Haonan himself is the editor-in-chief.

For this reason, the release date of the first issue of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was almost one month earlier than expected.

In fact, although new journals will basically invite big names to be editors-in-chief in the early stages of their development, and ask them to publish some papers to increase the number of citations and influence, in most cases, these commissioned papers are mainly reviews.

One reason is that as long as the person writing the review is famous enough, the number of citations will generally increase rapidly within a short period of time after publication, much faster than ordinary papers with the same impact factor.

The second reason is that for scholars with a certain reputation, reviews are relatively easy to write and do not involve any research results. After all, high-level papers are not easy to come by, and it is difficult to say that one can be produced for you immediately after being commissioned.

Of course, there is another point.

Even for most big academic figures, "publishing a paper in a journal that they are the editor-in-chief" is often easily regarded as spamming and may also attract criticism from academic opponents.

In short, there are not many honest people like Chang Haonan who really treat heavyweight achievements as extra hair...

However, there is another practical problem before him.

JCAS, or the entire academic journals in China, are now in a state where no one pays attention to them.

Moreover, there were not as many media outlets specializing in academic fields as there are today.

Therefore, even if Chang Haonan quietly published a paper on it, it would probably not cause any waves.

and so……

It has to be arXiv.

As a preprint website, publishing results on arXiv in advance will not affect normal submissions, but it can attract the attention of many researchers who are interested in this direction.

It completely meets Chang Haonan's needs.

So, after checking the content one last time, he opened the website as usual and uploaded the completed document...

……

Almost at the same time.

Across the ocean.

Columbus, Ohio.

Ohio State University.

Senior researcher Harold Huang held a freshly opened sandwich in his left hand and used his right hand to operate the mouse to click on the arXiv website.

In fact, as an engineer who mainly studies high-order numerical simulation formats, there is actually very little content in arXiv that interests him.

However, after the exaggerated wave of popularity last year, arXiv's influence in the "mainstream" academic community has also increased significantly.

Although everyone felt that it was unlikely that there would be another person who would put earth-shaking results directly on it.

But given the precedents of Chang Haonan and Perelman, who can dare to make any guarantees?

Moreover, even if there are few truly significant results, some wild ideas may still bring some inspiration.

Therefore, at least most researchers will take a look from time to time to see if there are any surprises.

It can be regarded as a kind of blind box opening behavior.

And Harold was one of them.

He was used to going up to take a look during his lunch break, which was a way of relaxing during work.

Of course, it is sometimes quite interesting to see some outrageous amateur scientists posting articles on it and then being angrily criticized by others (usually bored students)...

But just as I was waiting for the webpage to load, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in!"

Harold looked up and answered loudly.

As he finished speaking, the door slowly opened.

Then a young student walked in.

But he looked a little dejected.

"Matthew?"

Harold looked at his usually energetic student who looked like an eggplant hit by frost today, and couldn't help but feel a little worried:

"What happened?"

"Teacher, my paper was rejected by the editor of JCP again."

The doctoral student named Matthew sat opposite Harold, looking completely listless.

JCP, The Journal of Chemical Physics, is one of the most important academic journals in the field of chemical physics, published by the American Institute of Physics in 1933.

Although the impact factor is not high, it is a very influential journal in the industry and is well recognized by academia and industry.

"how is this possible?"

Harold put down his mouse and sandwich, and shifted his attention completely from the computer screen to Matthew:

“Didn’t I specifically ask you to state in your introduction that the new framework in your paper has high accuracy in implicit large eddy simulations of low Reynolds number turbulence?”

"Of course I did."

Matthew nodded:

“But the editor of JCP still didn’t accept it.”

Harold frowned.

Matthew was very confident about his paper, but he was puzzled that it never reached the reviewers after submitting it to JCP twice.

At the same time, I feel a little annoyed.

"Did the editor give any specific reasons when rejecting the manuscript? I mean... not just some clichés."

Matthew nodded;

"Just like last time, the editor said that the first half of the paper is too basic and involves a lot of mathematical theory calculations, which does not meet the JCP acceptance principles. I hope we can make some revisions..."

"boom--"

Before Matthew could finish his words, Harold slammed the table in anger:

"It's ridiculous... Can being too basic be a reason for rejection?"

Seeing his instructor suddenly furious, Matthew trembled all over, and his expression was almost like crying:

"But...but that's what the editor replied..."

Harold took a few quick breaths and didn't reply.

His anger was certainly not directed at Matthew.

It is directed at the editorial department of JCP.

Harold had already guessed something in his mind.

The rejection was not because the content was too basic.

This is because his research content is based on a high-precision format for reconstructing polynomials within units, which is inconsistent with the current direction of "mainstream academia".

The butt determines the head, which is also a very common situation in academia.

For example, in the biological field, if your research results are unfavorable to the commercialization of GMOs, then journals under the Nature system will be more inclined to accept them.

On the other hand, if it is beneficial to the commercialization of GMOs, then there is a greater probability that it will be published in journals under the Science system.

However, no matter how common it is, if it really happens to you, it is impossible for anyone to not be angry.

What's more, in the field of fluid mechanics simulation, the scope of submission is actually very limited.

If I submit to a purely theoretical physics journal like Physical Review, it’s obviously not good enough…

"How about this, I'll take another look at the article and see if I can submit it to a different journal."

After suppressing his anger, Harold said in the softest tone possible:

"If it doesn't work out, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has invited me to give a report at the end of this year. I'll talk about the content of this paper then..."

That being said, "reporting at a conference" and "publishing a conference paper" are not the same thing.

The high-order flux reconstruction method they studied does have great application potential in aerospace, especially in the field of aerospace, but it is ultimately not directly related.

It is still a bit difficult to publish it as a conference paper.

However, now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Okay... well..."

Matthew nodded dejectedly, said goodbye to Harold, and left the office.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the devastated student, the latter sighed helplessly, then picked up the cold sandwich and looked at the computer screen again.

After such a long time, the arXiv webpage must have been loaded.

However, Harold had just taken a bite and before he could swallow it, he was shocked by the title at the top of the list and stopped chewing.

“A conservative level set method…”

“No… Someone actually published a preprint paper on numerical calculation methods on arXiv?”

Out of curiosity, he moved the cursor over it and clicked on it.

When the webpage was first loaded, this paper had less than 50 views.

Just ten minutes later, when Harold clicked on it himself.

But I found that the reading volume displayed in the lower right corner has reached four digits...

"what?"

He could hardly believe his eyes:

“Is this the level of popularity that can be achieved in the field of numerical computing?”

After confirming that the number was more than a thousand and not more than a hundred, Harold almost subconsciously looked below the title of the paper -

There is basically only one possibility for a situation where the number of readers increases dramatically right after publication.

There are many people who specifically set up a follow-up for this author.

In other words, he must be a famous boss.

But it seems that no well-known experts in numerical computing are used to publishing things on arXiv...

CHANG Haonan.

"hiss……"

Harold couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"How could I forget him..."
