The reply letter was a little thick, as if there were two or three pages of letter paper, which made Yang Rui even more nervous, because his thesis seemed to be this thick.

"If the manuscript is rejected, I won't send it to you in the future. Let's remember papers with an impact factor of 30 or 40. That thing is called Shenwen, okay?" Yang Rui said to the air before opening the envelope.

If the manuscript was rejected, he would have nowhere to explain it. Does a journal need a reason to return a professional paper written by a high school student?

"hiss".

The crisp envelope was torn open by Yang Rui, and it felt quite good.

"No wonder so many people make pen pals, it's a bit cool to tear the envelope." Yang Rui thought wildly to relax, then pulled out the letter paper inside and shook it open.

The text of the text is very large, in cursive handwriting, and the whole text is handwritten, but it is a letter from the editor of "Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics" to Yang Rui, which begins with the words "classmate Yang Rui".

Apparently, seeing a high school student write a thesis made the newspaper's editor curious. He not only meant to inquire, but also described the process after the paper was delivered, which meant to introduce the situation.

Although the editors of journals have certain professional qualities, they only do preliminary review, which is to check whether the type and direction of the paper meet the requirements of the journal and whether it meets the basic level of the paper. As for the paper, whether it is qualified to be published in the journal , is actually determined by the reviewers they select.

Reviewers include both experts and professors, as well as scholars who have published papers. The international standard is two-way anonymity, that is, neither the reviewer nor the author knows the identity of the other party.

Thirty years later, this kind of system became a common model, but in the 1980s, many experts could not understand it. The editor explained it to a high school student with good intentions, and it was indeed intentional.

Yang Rui couldn't help nodding, this was much more responsible than the journals he met in the future. It won't be long before domestic journals will charge thousands of yuan or even thousands of yuan in page fees. Otherwise, how could so many schools give bonuses to professors and lecturers who have published papers? With that little salary, two papers are published a month. I am afraid that there will be no money left for food. Colleges and universities rely on the number of papers to live.

At the end of the handwritten letter, the editor's phone number was left, so that Yang Rui had time to call it. It can be seen that this person is definitely full of curiosity.

Also, in current colleges and universities, many teachers don't know how to publish papers. Yang Rui, a high school student, published it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is news.

Yang Rui thought about it and decided not to make this call.

If people want to be curious, let them be curious. What he wants now is a passport to the domestic academic circle.

With the paper in this journal, he can be regarded as a folk person who has published papers, and he will no longer be just a high school student.

However, Yang Rui is still eager to know the status of his paper publication, no matter how many papers he publishes, this excitement will not change.

"Is there a package that came with the letter?" Yang Rui stretched his head into the porter's room, searching while asking.

"It's just your letter today." The uncle at the concierge continued gossip and asked, "Is there another publishing fee?"

"I don't know if there is any manuscript fee for this kind of work. You say, they are not even willing to send a sample book." Yang Rui complained a few words, went to the carport to pick up his car, and went straight down the mountain.

Counting the time, it is also the publication date of the Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The editor's reply is a private letter, and it is understandable that it has not been sent together with the journal.

Yang Rui couldn't wait for the samples to arrive, so he decided to go to the Xibao Meat Factory to find a copy. This large state-owned factory orders a large number of newspapers and magazines every year, and it has its own organ biochemical workshop. It is inevitable to buy a bunch of domestic journals.

In 1982, many well-known journals of later generations had not yet been published, but "Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics" was an old brand in the 1950s. Yang Rui also saw it in the reading room of the Xibao Meat Factory.

When he arrived at the factory, he reported his uncle's name, and Yang Rui entered the site of Xibao Meat Joint Factory.

Compared with state-owned enterprises such as textile factories, although the treatment in the meat joint factory is good, the environment is not good at all. The slaughtering workshop itself is a source of pollution, and there are thousands of live pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the factory. The mixed smell makes people feel uncomfortable staying here.

Yang Rui hurried to the reading room run by the factory, and still under the name of uncle, he managed to get the new issue of "Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics".

This is a periodical of less than 200 pages. The cover is in color. After opening it, you will see a few pages of advertisements, all of which are also in color.

Different from the advertisements of later generations, the advertisements at this time are very simple, which is to explain what products are available in our factory, and then welcome all units from all over the country to come to buy.

Yang Rui scanned roughly and quickly turned the page backwards.

Almost three-quarters of the way through, the title of "Re-determining the Absorption Coefficient of Coenzyme Q10 by UV Spectrophotometry" came into Yang Rui's eyes.

Below the title is the author's information: Yang Rui from Xibao Middle School in Hedong Province.

"Finally I have qualifications." Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, even if you submit a manuscript to a foreign journal in the future, you will not be ineligible to speak.

Although the paper is a thing that is very particular about the content, the title is also indispensable, especially for some relatively good journals, the first review editors often have great power, and the reasons for rejection are also various, such as "too many recent articles". All of them can be included in it. However, most of those who were directly rejected by the first review editor and not even given the opportunity to submit for review were students and ordinary lecturers, while experts and professors who have become well-known in their professional fields often received different treatment.

In fact, at the level of a big cow, it often takes a few hours to write a literature review, which can be easily published.

This is why some papers written by students cannot be published, but they can be published under the name of their tutors.

Now that he came, Yang Rui didn't plan to go back too early, took two periodicals, and sat in a chair to read silently.

The journal paper at this time is good, because the number of subscriptions is higher than that of later periodicals, and it is very magazine-like.

In Yang Rui's eyes, half of the contents of the journals in his hand can be regarded as easy to understand, and some articles can be regarded as "interesting".

"Interesting" is the highest rating not only for fiction but also for academic journals.

For example, the most high-end journals in the chemical industry, the articles published on them, apart from the important scientific quality and conclusions, are interesting is the most important indicator. Because only by attracting more scientific researchers and making them interested in the topic of the journal's papers, high-end journals have the value of existence.

Like domestic journals, no one reads them except yourself, so what's the point of writing well. Words without readers are the most worthless things in the world—except for job titles.

The time to read the literature passed quickly.

When Yang Rui was about to leave, the people behind him changed several times.

The new arrivals were two shaggy young men, one carried a periodical half the height of a person, and flipped through it book by book, while the other spread out a notebook and asked anxiously: "Can people write down all the methods of how to do it?" on this?

"It counts as much as you can walk, it's better than nothing at all."

"If you can't make it in the end, why don't you want to buy foreigners?"

"Then what do you think?" The young man flipping through the book held his breath and slapped the table.

After being quarreled by them, Yang Rui couldn't read the book anymore, got up and returned the two periodicals in his hand, and took a look at the books and periodicals they picked.

It seems to be looking for the production of crystallizers.

This can be regarded as the equipment manufacturing content of bioengineering, which is a relatively popular field in China. Because the country pays attention to self-reliance, whatever it can do by itself must not use foreign ones, thus creating a structure that emphasizes hardware over software.

However, with the level of domestic manufacturing in the 1980s, the localization of scientific research equipment is still far away. If you want to make your own crystallizer, even a simple stirred tank cooler, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make.

It is even more difficult to find out from journals.

Most of the papers describe principles and technologies, but very few directly give answers. Moreover, there are fewer mature equipment structures in the papers, and the authors often like to modify them, which are quite different from the final products.

This is the journal from the 1980s. If it is 30 years later, it is impossible to find it.

"What should I do if I don't?" There was deep worry in the low-pitched inquiry.

"If you can't find it, you have to look for it. If you don't have it in the factory, go to the province to look for it. An evaporation crystallizer costs tens of thousands of dollars. Why don't the Germans snatch it? We made it ourselves. Let's see what Han can say." The bit is a ruthless momentum.

Worried people complained: "It's okay for Han to be in the main factory before, but now he is in the cannery, why do you still care about the affairs of our main factory?"

"I heard that people in the branch factory don't like to talk to him, so I probably want to come back."

"Why didn't he rot into the can."

Hearing this, Yang Rui thought to himself: The person surnamed Han should be Han Sen, the new party secretary of the cannery. It seems that these two young people are against the purchase of German equipment.

Think about it, too. Today's enterprises have low income and are in short supply of foreign exchange, but foreign instruments are not cheap at all. In comparison, imported goods are too expensive. Japanese products are a little better, and the price of European products is really not something a company like Xibao Meat Factory can easily afford.

"We have a common enemy, let's help." Yang Rui suddenly had this idea in his mind.

He was in a good mood, and he didn't care whether he could make money. He took out a pen and paper from his briefcase, thought about it, drew a drawing on the spot, and wrote a note on it.

The evaporative crystallizer in foreign countries in the 1980s was at the domestic level in the late 1990s. In terms of high-end, this kind of thing is not enough. There are dozens of parts in total. Although there are some special requirements for welding and other aspects, it is not difficult.

Yang Rui doesn't have the energy to make such complicated instruments at present, so he simply picked two sets of mature instruments and drew them as detailed as possible.

Although it is simple, it took two hours to draw.

When the two young men behind him both gave up and wanted to leave, Yang Rui folded up the twenty-odd pages and stuffed them into the arms of one of them, saying: "This is the drawing I read from the secretary before, maybe it will be useful. Please refer to it."

After speaking, Yang Rui left without waiting for their reaction.

The results will be announced tomorrow, if you don't go back to bed, you will be late.
