Chapter 984 Letter From the Editor-in-Chief

The power of the 3rd ring "Secondary True Seeing" is of course far less than the genuine 6th ring "True Seeing".

This spell can only see through transformation and illusion magic that does not exceed level 3, or supernatural camouflage that does not exceed 10 magic power levels.

Even so, relying on the "lesser true seeing" is enough to reveal the true face of the "half changeling".

Joan once studied the blood samples of Harry Kaufman, and found that the camouflage ability of the "half-shape monster" is only 5 energy levels, which is equivalent to the 2nd ring "transformation", and cannot escape the "lesser true seeing". " detection.

With Qiao An's current mage level, it is far from enough to learn the threshold of the 6th ring "True Seeing", so it is not bad to copy a "Less True Seeing" first to make do with it.

...

After Qiao An returned to school, her life returned to normal. She focused on learning spells every day, or went to the tutor's laboratory to help, and a week passed before she knew it.

During this period, Joan's mind was full of various new and interesting research topics, and he almost forgot the paper on "worm disease" that he submitted not long ago.

However, good news always comes unexpectedly. On the morning of June 9th, Qiao An received a reply from the editorial department. She squeezed the envelope with her hand, and there were only two thin pages of letter paper inside. Qiao An felt at ease.

The reply letter did not contain a manuscript, indicating that this is not a rejection letter, so according to common sense, it should be a notice, the content is nothing more than telling Joan that the manuscript has passed the preliminary review of the editor, and three experts in the relevant fields of the paper have been invited to review the manuscript , please wait patiently for the review results.

The opinions of the reviewers will determine whether Qiao An's paper can be published.

Judging from past experience, it is normal to propose revisions, but Qiao An feels that the reviewers should not directly kill his own paper.

This is not to say that his articles are against the sky, but mainly because the field of "worm disease" is very unpopular, and there are probably no more than ten famous scholars engaged in related research.

In his thesis, whether it was necessary or not, Qiao An quoted all the papers of these predecessors on "worm disease", and praised them by the way, making it seem that there are many talented people in this field and they are booming.

When the reviewers read his article, they will first find out that there are people of the same kind in the world, and they are so young and sensible. Remember to quote my article and fairly evaluate my pioneering contribution in this field.

Good boy, very promising!

Nowadays, the young people who are engaged in the topic of "worm disease" are basically only Qiao An. This unlucky domain with no successors is really about to die.

Without newcomers to engage in "worm disease", the articles of the old-timers will be ignored...

On the contrary, if you support newcomers, you may be able to stir up some waves in this pool of stagnant water, attracting more scholars to become interested in this field, participate in research, and cite the articles of senior scholars.

In this way, the status of these old seniors in the academic circle will also rise accordingly.

Who would refuse such a good thing?

Of course, the premise of all this is that the quality of Qiao An's thesis can stand the test, otherwise the mud will not be able to support the wall, but will bring down stains on the senior scholars who supported him.

Joan is not too worried about this, he is still very confident about his thesis.

Although he had made preparations, when Joan opened the envelope, he was still taken aback by the content of the reply.

Just looking at the handwriting, Joan recognized it at a glance. It was a personal letter from Mr. Tennyson, the editor-in-chief of "Offa Review".

Mr. Tennyson's attitude in the letter was still as domineering as ever, and he told Joan bluntly that his article was not suitable for publication in the Offal Review.

Seeing this, Qiao An couldn't help feeling cold. Could it be that his paper was so unpopular that old man Tennyson didn't even give him a chance to review it, so he just rejected it?

But why didn't the manuscript come back with the letter?

Joan scratched her head in wonder, and turned to the next page of the letter, her depression immediately turned into shock.

Mr. Tennyson changed the subject and told Joan that the "Offa Review" did not accept his paper because the level of the paper was too high and it had exceeded the position of the "Offa Review" journal.

If it is reluctantly published on the Austrian Law Review, most readers, mainly college students, may not be able to understand his paper, and will miss the opportunity to attract the attention and discussion of higher-level scholars—truly high-level scholars, Don't waste your precious time watching "Ofa Review".

Therefore, Mr. Tennyson made his own decision and decided to forward Qiao An's paper to the editorial department of "Journal of Austrian Law".

Joan was in a daze for a long time after reading Mr. Tennyson's reply.

"Journal of Austrian Law"?

Are you kidding, it is a core journal of a higher grade than "Ofa Review", and the academic points of any article are not less than 40!

The "Journal of Austrian Law" collected in the reading room of the school, at least the old issues of the past five years, a total of more than 60 volumes, Qiao An has read every issue, and the level is indeed very high.

According to his observation, there are mainly two types of contributors to the Journal of Austrian Law.

One is doctoral students from prestigious universities. Their graduation thesis is usually published in the "Journal of Austrian Law". Except for the articles of a very small number of academic stars or industry giants, the scores of such graduation thesis generally do not exceed 50.

The second is the results of young teachers from famous universities. After teaching, the results are mainly published in the "Journal of Austrian Law". The average level is higher than that of doctoral dissertations. After all, the qualifications and resources are not comparable to the former.

In other words, if Joan is eligible to publish an article in the "Journal of Austrian Law", the lower limit means that he has reached the level of doctoral graduation, and the upper limit means that he can use this paper as a stepping stone to apply for a university teaching position.

In a famous school like Midgard University, it is very difficult to obtain the qualification of lecturer just by relying on a first-authored article in the "Journal of Austrian Law", but teaching assistants are not a big problem.

However, if Joann doesn’t have any “prestige school complex” and returns to his hometown of Alfheim, he can apply for a lecturer position at his alma mater, Leiden College with this thesis, and he will be sure.

Joan thought again that his old classmates Edward and Thomas hadn't graduated from Leiden College at this moment, if he really went back to be a teacher, it would be funny enough to meet them.

Forget it, don't think about good things for now, the key is can my article be published in the "Journal of Austrian Law" smoothly?

This is really a question that makes Qiao An feel more uncertain the more he thinks about it.
