Chapter 5 Paper Publishing

The next day, in the evening, Ye Fei finished writing the paper and sent it to his tutor.

Professor Lu started watching it that night.

"The quality of this paper..." Professor Lu was a little surprised: "Okay, there are basically no errors. Even if there are errors, they are some minor flaws."

Professor Lu has read Ye Fei’s undergraduate thesis. He can’t say how good it is. He can only say that he has some ideas, but it’s not very good, not even top-notch.

But now when I look at Ye Fei’s paper, the quality is very good.

He had some doubts about what Ye Fei had experienced this year to improve his abilities so much.

Professor Lu murmured to himself: "I don't teach him much at ordinary times. I just let him read some literature and occasionally take him to do some scientific research projects."

The first year of postgraduate study usually involves reading literature, taking classes, and writing a thesis.

If you are a major with a lot of experiments like chemistry, you will go to the laboratory to familiarize yourself with the experimental tools and procedures.

Occasionally, seniors or mentors will lead you to do some scientific research.

When I reach the second year of graduate school, I will read literature, start projects, do scientific research, and write papers.

The third year of graduate school is to find a job, write a thesis, or take the PhD exam.

Generally speaking, scientific research is done in the second phase of research, and very little is done in the first phase of research.

"It seems that after the summer vacation, I can take him to do some more difficult scientific research projects."

Professor Lu sent the paper to Ye Fei. After receiving the paper, Ye Fei revised it according to the tutor's prompts and then sent it to the tutor.

This time Professor Lu did not make any more changes. The changes that should be made had already been made. Then Professor Lu asked Ye Fei to come to his office.

Professor Lu's office.

After Ye Fei sat down, Professor Lu said: "Have you decided which journal to submit for?"

Ye Fei was a little confused and said: "Tutor, let's not say which journal to submit for now. Will the school reimburse the money for submitting the manuscript?"

Paper submission requires page fees, and general journals are divided into provincial journals, national journals and core journals.

Provincial journals generally range from 600 to 1,100, national journals generally range from 700 to 1,300, and core journals generally range from several thousand.

Medical journals are the most expensive, costing tens of thousands.

If it is SCI, the page fee is generally 7,000 to 10,000, and a few are more than 15,000.

The minimum is 600, which is quite expensive for a student. A week's living expenses are gone.

CSCD is a core journal, and the page fee costs several thousand yuan, which Ye Fei really can't afford.

"Where are you thinking?" Professor Lu said dumbfounded: "If the students submit papers and the school reimburses them, then the school won't go bankrupt."

"Hey..." Ye Fei's face was tangled: "Tutor, why don't I vote for CSCD? The page fee is too expensive and I can't afford it. You also know my family situation. My family runs a small noodle shop.

The annual income is over RMB 100,000, but my monthly living expenses are only RMB 2,000."

If he invests in SCI, Ye Fei doesn't need to be so entangled.

If the paper is entered into SCI, the school will reward you.

Depending on the impact factors, the rewards are also different.

The minimum is four thousand and the maximum is five hundred thousand.

But the trick is that the CSCDA area is obviously equivalent to the first and second areas of SCI, but there are no rewards for investing in CSCD, only for investing in SCI.

Professor Lu shook his head in a funny way and said, "Okay, I've already figured it out for you. Your paper will be linked to my scientific research project, and the submission fee will be reimbursed from the scientific research project."

Ye Fei raised his head in surprise and said with a smile, "Thank you, mentor."

Then he hesitated and said: "Tutor, if you do this, where is the school?"

Schools with scientific research funds need to be investigated, and if problems arise, the person in charge of scientific research will be held responsible.

Professor Lu said: "I will just put your name in the scientific research project when the time comes, and the school will not be able to find out."

Ye Fei felt relieved when he heard this.

"Tell me, have you decided which journal to submit for?" Professor Lu asked.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Tutor, do you have anything to recommend?"

After thinking for a while, Professor Lu said: "The quality of your paper is good. Area A should be fine, but Area A is also divided into many journals, and different journals have different review difficulties."

Xia Guo has many journals, but the most famous are the three major categories, namely PKU, CSCD and CSSCI.

The full name of PKU is Kyoto University Library.

The full name of CSCD is Xia Academy of Sciences Documentation and Information Center.

The full name of CSSCI is Jinling University Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index.

CSSCI is more advanced than CSCD.

Papers that are included in CSCD and are included in CSSCI are classified into Category A, the rest are Category B, and Category C belongs to journals that have not been included in CSCD.

"The best journals in Category A in mathematics are Chinese Science, Science Bulletin and Journal of Mathematics, followed by Mathematics Research and Discussion, Annals of Mathematics, Journal of Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Advances in Mathematics."

“The next ones are System Science and Mathematics, Applied Probability and Statistics, Journal of Computational Mathematics in Colleges and Universities, Journal of Applied Mathematics in Colleges and Universities, and Journal of Mathematical Physics.”

"I suggest you vote for Systems Science and Mathematics."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

He didn't understand this aspect, so he naturally listened to his instructor's advice.

"You know the rules for submitting papers, right?" Professor Lu said.

"Of course I know." Ye Fei said with a smile: "First upload the paper to Arxiv to occupy the slot, and then send the paper to the journal."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "Then you go back and submit. After the submission is submitted and the review is passed, and after you receive the approval email, you can take a screenshot of the email to me and I will reimburse you."

"Okay." Ye Fei stood up and said, "Goodbye, mentor!"

After returning home, Ye Fei first posted the paper on Arxiv, and then sent the paper to the editor of the Journal of Systems Science and Mathematics.

The corresponding author of the paper is Lu Yishan, and the first author Ye Fei is from the School of Mathematics, Zhonghu University, Shaqiu City, Zhonghu Province.

When the paper was sent out, Ye Fei took a long breath and finally finished it.

He took a look at the system and found that the task had been completed and he had received 5 points.

It's now the beginning of May, and summer vacation will begin in just over twenty days.

Ye Fei looked at the other three roommates, who were still working hard on their papers.

He feels very comfortable. When something is successful, the sense of accomplishment and relaxation is very satisfying.

And it’s even more satisfying to see others still working hard.

Human happiness is often caused by the pain of others, so happiness is not the same.

"What to do?" Ye Feixin said, "Go and visit Stack Exchange."

During this period, in addition to writing papers, he would also spend half an hour to an hour reading Arxiv and Stack Exchange every day.

This taught him a lot.

As soon as he entered Stack Exchange, he received a message from Gao Fei.

"Hey, what do you know about singular cardinals?"

The singular cardinality problem is a set theory problem. It is also one of the unsolved mathematical problems, and it appeared earlier than the continuum hypothesis problem.

There is a problem called the potential determination problem of powers of infinite sets.

This problem is a problem of determining the continuum hypothesis, while the problem of determining the potential of the power of an infinite set is a problem that requires singular cardinal numbers.

This is a cycle, and singular bases can prove the potential problem of powers of infinite sets.

The potential problem of powers of infinite sets can prove the continuum hypothesis problem.

"Singular cardinality?" Ye Fei thought for a moment and replied: "I know it can be used to formulate the potential of the Cartesian product of uncountable sets."

"And if you prove a singular base, you have to use a regular base."

Singular bases are also called irregular bases, which are the opposite of regular bases.

Gao Fei said: "I see you answered two days ago to use the axiom of choice to solve the exponentiation of base numbers. This is a singular base problem. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Ye Fei was stunned, this is a strange cardinal number, a century-old problem that no one has solved yet.

Of course you have interest, but you have to act according to your ability!

No one dares to brag about solving such a difficult problem!

Gao Fei said: "Don't put too much pressure on you, we are not trying to solve it, we are just exploring this problem."

Ye Fei took a long breath, frightened him to death, thinking that this person was going to solve the singular cardinality problem!
