Chapter 259 Horrible Data

Because "Academic Starry Sky" is a new academic journal, it does not have any impact factor in the first year of its publication.

This also makes it impossible for "Academic Starry Sky" to be classified into any of the SCI divisions and cannot be accurately evaluated.

But after June, everything will be different.

Relevant academic evaluation agencies will calculate the impact factor of a journal based on the number of citations of articles in the journal within two years.

In fact, this is a disadvantage for "Academic Starry Sky", because "Academic Starry Sky" has been released for less than a year, and many of the papers in it have not had time to be cited by other paper authors.

But after all, every academic journal has to go through its first year. Ning Chen does not have any rigid requirements for the impact factor of "Academic Starry Sky" in the first year.

But when the impact factor of "Academic Starry Sky" was officially released, it caused everyone's extreme shock.

"The impact factor of "Academic Starry Sky" in the first year... actually reached 102.862?"

Everyone knows how terrible this data is.

This means that the average number of citations for each paper published in the journal "Academic Sky" reaches about one hundred.

This is a very incredible thing for an academic journal that has just been established for less than a year.

Among them, several papers submitted above have greatly raised the average of this data.

Each of Ning Chen's papers has received hundreds of citations, and every scholar who studies the corresponding field basically quotes part of Ning Chen's papers.

You know, even the three top academic journals in the country, Nature, Science, and Cell, have impact factors of only about 60 or 70.

This means that, judging from the impact factors of papers alone, "Academic Starry Sky" has completely reached the level of the world's top academic journals.

When the news spread, it quickly aroused heated discussions in the academic community.

"Although the impact factor does not completely represent the level of articles in an academic journal, it is already an important basis for measuring an academic journal. Except for a few very professional and niche academic journals, "Academic Starry Sky" is almost The academic journal with the highest impact factor.”

"From now on, Academic Star Sky will probably be classified at the same level as NSC. Many excellent papers cannot be seen in other academic journals except Academic Star Sky."

"As one of the chief editors and chief reviewer of "Academic Starry Sky", Ning Chen is also the main author of "Academic Starry Sky". Since founding this journal, Ning Chen has never published a paper in other academic journals. .”

As expected, after this, many universities changed their rewards for publishing papers.

If the paper can be successfully published in the main journal of "Academic Sky", the reward the author can receive will be unique, even exceeding the rewards of publishing in "Nature", "Science" and "Cell".

Even if the paper is published in a sub-journal of "Academic Sky", the author of the paper can receive a substantial reward.

Of course, such rewards are not easy to obtain, because it is very difficult to submit articles to "Academic Starry Sky" now.

Originally, "Academic Star" had strict limits on the number of papers published in each issue, and because of the popularity of "Academic Star", a large number of papers are now submitted to "Academic Star" every day.

Unless the paper is of particularly outstanding quality, it will be difficult to get it accepted by the journal.

With the update of the impact factor, "Academic Starry Sky" has also been officially classified as an academic journal in SCI Area 1, and has become a top comprehensive academic journal recognized by the world's academic community.

…

Unknowingly, Ning Chen had been staying in school for a while.

At this time, Shengzhou University also believed that Ning Chen should take on some teaching tasks.

Although scientific research results are easier to see for colleges and universities, teaching work cannot be ignored either.

Only by improving the quality of teaching can we ensure students' ability. In the long run, this is a more important thing.

As for the arrangement of teaching tasks, Shengzhou University does not want Ning Chen to be like other teachers and just explain some courses normally. In this case, it would be a waste of Ning Chen's ability.

After discussion with the school leaders, it was finally decided that Ning Chen should be able to teach one mathematics and one materials course every week.

The scale of this kind of class exceeds that of a general class, and it is held directly in the auditorium.

In this way, more students can participate and Ning Chen's role can be maximized.

After learning about the school's suggestions, Ning Chen also strongly agreed with this plan.

This allows Ning Chen to not only teach a few classes, but to teach almost all students in these two majors at the same time, and the efficiency of teaching will be greatly improved.

As for the specific teaching content of Ning Chen, Shengzhou University also gave Ning Chen enough room to develop.

As long as it was knowledge included in these two majors, Ning Chen could choose freely and did not have to stick to a certain textbook.

However, when Ning Chen officially started preparing for this work, he also felt the difficulty of this work.

Although Shengzhou University did not impose any restrictions on Ning Chen's specific teaching content, it was difficult for Ning Chen to choose appropriate teaching content because Ning Chen had to deal with students of different grades and levels.

If it is some highly professional courses, some students in the lower grades do not have the corresponding foundation and may not be able to understand what Ning Chen explains.

And if it is those more basic contents, it will be too simple for graduate students.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Chen finally decided to rewrite some teaching materials based on his own understanding of these subjects.

These textbooks will not ignore basic knowledge, but will re-examine the knowledge in depth from some different angles from previous textbooks.

In this way, even senior students can get some new gains from it.

When Ning Chen was studying these textbooks on his own before, he discovered that many university textbooks were not reasonably written.

Even with Ning Chen's learning ability, it is difficult to understand knowledge only by relying on textbooks, and a lot of extracurricular materials need to be combined.

Ning Chen hopes that through his own efforts, he can change this matter.

After several days of writing, Ning Chen finally completed part of the textbook compilation work.

When it comes to naming the textbooks, Ning Chen did not consider any complicated names and directly named them "Mathematics (1)" and "Materials (1)" without even adding the word "university".

Because the study of these textbooks does not impose any restrictions on students' grades, Ning Chen feels that even some particularly outstanding middle school students are fully capable of understanding these courses.

After completing the compilation of these two sets of textbooks, Ning Chen submitted the electronic files of these two textbooks to the school.

When Yang Lianhua saw the book "Mathematics (1)" written by Ning Chen, the expression on his face was extremely surprised.

I have to say that this is a very creative textbook. The entire teaching method has no limitations. It is based solely on Ning Chen's personal understanding and purely based on mathematics itself.

According to Ning Chen's teaching plan, students can better learn the underlying logic of mathematics, instead of mechanically following the content of the textbook for the purpose of passing the exam.

When Liu Xu and others saw "Material Science (1)" written by Ning Chen, they had similar feelings to Yang Lianhua.

In fact, many university textbook writers are rather perfunctory in the preparation of textbooks. To exaggerate, they even just arrange, combine and delete some contents, and finally become a new textbook.

In contrast, the textbooks written by Ning Chen have undergone a lot of brand-new work, and they are not just simple deletions.

In September, the new school year arrives. With the end of military training for freshmen, everyone is ready to start a new semester.

Ning Chen is about to officially start his university teaching career.

The first class of Ningchen University’s teaching career was mathematics, and the class was held in the auditorium of Shengzhou University.

Thousands of students, including undergraduate and graduate students majoring in mathematics, gathered in the auditorium, ready to take this unique class.

It is a very rare thing in the field of education for students of different grades to come together to listen to the same class.

Due to the particularity of this course, this course is not a required course, nor is it even an examination course. There is no mandatory requirement for students to attend the course.

But even so, the auditorium was still full of students, and even many teachers who had no work arrangements came to the scene to listen to the class.

Ning Chen came to the front of the auditorium and said with a smile:

"Now we start class."

Ning Chen was about to start his lecture when someone below suddenly shouted "stand up". Then all the students sitting under the auditorium stood up and shouted in unison: "Hello, teacher!"

Ning Chen was also very surprised by such a scene.

Seeing how everyone was cooperating, Ning Chen knew that such a scene did not happen suddenly, but had been prepared for a long time.

In fact, such a sense of ritual in class is rare in university classrooms. In most university classes, the standing ceremony is canceled by default and class starts directly.

However, as a teacher, Ning Chen was still very moved by such a scene.

"Hello, classmates, please take a seat!"

This kind of class ceremony makes everyone feel better and take this course seriously.

It was the first time for Ning Chen to give a university lecture in such a large occasion with so many students sitting in the audience. This was also a challenging thing for Ning Chen.

Fortunately, Ning Chen had some teaching experience before, and he was also someone who had seen big scenes. In the end, Ning Chen successfully completed this course.

It was a full two hours of class without any breaks in between, but none of the students below felt tired, and they listened carefully to Ning Chen's class throughout.

After listening to Ning Chen's class, they all felt that they had gained a lot.

Coming out of the auditorium, the students couldn't help but talk about this brand new course.

"I thought that as a freshman, it would be difficult to understand Teacher Ning's class. After all, Teacher Ning is a future Fields Medal winner. But Teacher Ning's class is not obscure, and she even teaches better than other teachers. Be more vivid and vivid.”

"This set of textbooks is indeed very well written. Both undergraduates and graduate students can understand the content and gain a lot from it."

"It's a pity that there is only one class like this every week. It would be great if there were more classes like this every week, so that other math classes could be cancelled."

In addition to being very satisfied with Ning Chen's courses, everyone also highly recognized the textbook compiled by Ning Chen.

This textbook is written concisely and appropriately, eliminating a lot of unnecessary content, and adding a lot of Ning Chen's own understanding to some difficult parts.

Even if you study this textbook by yourself, any student with good learning ability can understand at least half of it.

Soon, the news that Ning Chen compiled this textbook spread to the outside world.

When Qiu Chengtong saw the book "Mathematics (1)" written by Ning Chen, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

This textbook may not directly help students cope with various examinations.

But if we can understand the core content in the textbook, it will play a vital role in students' future research in mathematics.

After reading this textbook, Qiu Chengtong had the idea of ​​promoting this textbook at Shuimu University.

However, because this is a textbook written by Ning Chen himself, Qiu Chengtong is worried that Ning Chen only wants to teach this textbook within Shengzhou University, so he still needs to confirm his ideas in advance.

Thinking of this, Qiu Chengtong contacted Ning Chen.

Qiu Chengtong first affirmed the textbook compiled by Ning Chen and looked forward to Ning Chen continuing to complete the next part of the textbook.

After that, Qiu Chengtong also asked Ning Chen about the teaching target of this textbook.

"Teacher Ning, do you only want to use this set of teaching materials within Shengzhou University? If you are willing to open the authorization of this set of teaching materials, I hope to promote this set of teaching materials at Shuimu University and develop similar teaching methods with Shengzhou University. .”

After learning Qiu Chengtong's thoughts, Ning Chen replied readily:

"Professor Qiu, if you are willing, I am very willing to promote this set of teaching materials. When I wrote this set of teaching materials, I had no idea of ​​treating it as an internal teaching material."

What Ning Chen said is true. Even though Ning Chen is a teacher at Shengzhou University, when it comes to cultivating talents, Ning Chen is not limited to a school like Shengzhou University.
