Xueba starts with change

Chapter 129
Walking out of the science teaching building, Chen Zhou planned to go to the library with Yang Yiyi to hang up, but he did not expect to receive a call from Wu Xiping.

Wu Xiping asked Chen Zhou to find him in the office.

On the phone, Chen Zhou vaguely heard Shen Jing's voice.

After hanging up the phone, although Chen Zhou was a little strange, he still asked Yang Yiyi to go to the library to occupy a seat first, and he went directly to Wu Xiping's office.

When we arrived at the office, Shen Jing was indeed there.

Wu Xiping and Shen Jing were talking about something, when they saw Chen Zhou, they waved him over.

Chen Zhou walked over suspiciously, and he noticed that Wu Xiping was pointing at his computer.

Chen Zhou glanced in the direction of Wu Xiping's finger. It was the paper he had submitted earlier.

The status of [Reviewer(s) invited] is displayed at this time.

This means that Chen Zhou's paper has passed the review of the technical editor, and the editor has found a suitable peer reviewer, sent a review invitation, and is waiting for the reviewer's acceptance.

Wu Xiping looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Chen Zhou, your manuscript submission speed is not bad. If there is no accident, it will only take a month. After the peer review is over, review comments will be sent to revise the paper."

Chen Zhou nodded lightly, this speed is indeed not slow.

He remembered that Shen Jing told him that the submission time seemed to be October 10th, which was only two weeks away from now.

Under normal circumstances, after the submission is successful, it will stay in the [Submit] state for about one to two weeks until the manuscript is accepted.

When the status of the submission page changes to [With Editor], it means that the manuscript has been accepted.

If the submitted journal does not require an editor, the paper will first go to the editor-in-chief, who will then assign it to the corresponding technical editor.

The technical editor is also the first hurdle to determine the life and death of the paper.

At this stage, because the situation of the paper is different, the time of the card will also be different.

If the technical editor has seen the paper and thinks it is suitable for the journal, it will be sent for peer review.That is the current [Reviewer(s) Invited] status of Chen Zhou and his papers.

If the paper does not match the scope of the journal or does not meet the standards of the journal, it may be returned to the author before external review.

At this time, the status of the submission page will change to [Decision in Process], and the paper contributors will also receive a notification of rejection.

When the reviewer accepts the review invitation, the submission page will change to [Under Review] status, which means that the paper is under external review.

Because peer reviewers are busy scientists, and reviewing is an unpaid job and requires a lot of effort to scrutinize and evaluate papers, this process can be the most time-consuming step in the entire publication process.

Depending on the journal and the field, it may take about one to four months.

Chen Zhou's paper has not officially entered the peer review stage, that is to say, there is still a long time before the paper is officially accepted by the journal and published.

Wu Xiping clicked to refresh the page again, but the network speed was a bit slow, so it didn't refresh for a while.

"Professor, you didn't come here for this, did you?" Chen Zhou looked away from the computer, looked at Wu Xiping and asked.

Wu Xiping smiled and said, "Isn't this good news?"

Seemingly in response to Wu Xiping's words, the submission page was refreshed.

The submission status has been changed to 【Under Review】.

Their paper entered the peer-review stage.

"Look, it's taken another step." Wu Xiping pointed to the refreshed page, "This is the first SCI article you published as the first author and the second author, right?"

Chen Zhou and Shen Jing nodded at the same time.

Wu Xiping closed the submission page and asked instead: "Have you ever thought about publishing SCI independently?"

Shen Jing was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled.

Chen Zhou's eyes became brighter, and he made such a big detour because he wanted to talk about this matter.

He was worried about not being able to find the direction of the subject, and it seemed that Professor Wu was planning to give some advice.

Chen Zhou asked directly: "Professor, do you have anything to teach the students?"

Wu Xiping saw the expressions of the two students. He looked at Chen Zhou with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll knock your senior first."

Shen Jing came back to his senses, and asked puzzledly: "Teacher, what do you mean? You want to hit me?"

Wu Xiping was slightly taken aback, frowned and looked at Shen Jing, without speaking, he suddenly felt that he had found the wrong person?

Looking at the wonderful expression on Wu Xiping's face, Chen Zhou couldn't hold back his laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Jing looked at Chen Zhou strangely.

"No, it's nothing. Hahaha. I'm sorry." Chen Zhou stopped laughing with difficulty. This senior is really a bit slow.

"Then you still laugh." Shen Jing looked at Chen Zhou and muttered.

"Uh..." Chen Zhou put away his laughter, first glanced at Wu Xiping, and then explained to Shen Jing, "Senior, the professor is asking if we plan to do the project independently."

Shen Jing looked at Chen Zhou, then at Wu Xiping, and finally understood.

Wu Xiping said, "Shen Jing, don't you plan to continue on the road of academic research?"

Shen Jing didn't hesitate this time, and said affirmatively: "Professor, I plan to graduate from undergraduate, so I will take your postgraduate exam."

Wu Xiping glanced at him, felt a little relieved, and continued to ask: "Then, do you want to study for a Ph. D. with me?"

Shen Jing wanted to nod subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he finally said, "Professor, I still want to go out and have a look."

Wu Xiping: "And then?"

Shen Jing's eyes were a little confused, he probably never thought about such a distant thing.

Looking at Shen Jing, Wu Xiping said softly: "You have a good talent in mathematics. The teacher hopes that you will cherish it, make good use of it, and make good use of this talent."

Hearing Wu Xiping's words, Shen Jing was a little surprised.

After a pause, Shen Jing said, "Teacher, I understand."

Wu Xiping didn't say anything more, opened the drawer, took out a stack of printed paper, and handed it to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing took it over and took a look, slightly hesitant: "Teacher, this?"

Wu Xiping explained: "This is the application form for the project, you go back and think about it carefully, fill it out and give it to me, I will help you apply for the project from the school."

Shen Jing's hands trembled slightly.

Without giving Shen Jing a chance to speak again, Wu Xiping kicked Shen Jing out of the office and told him to go back and think about the topic.

Only Chen Zhou and Wu Xiping were left in the office.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Putting down his laughter, Wu Xiping asked, "Did Mr. Huang look for you?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "Teacher Huang talked to me about project application and early graduation."

After speaking, Chen Zhou stretched out his hand, intending to ask Wu Xiping for the application form for the project.

Looking at Chen Zhou's outstretched hand, Wu Xiping smiled softly and said, "What are you doing? I didn't intend to help you apply for a project."

Chen Zhou looked at Wu Xiping suspiciously.

Wu Xiping explained: "You are different from Shen Jing. You know what you need. In fact, after I told Teacher Huang, I regretted it. I think applying for a project from the school will restrict you instead."

"I think you still need to do it yourself."

　Sorry, I'm too busy today.
