Chapter 898 Professor Chang Published Another Paper?

The content of this paper was relatively short and quick, and it took less than a week to complete.

After all, this is what Chang Haonan plans to introduce into TORCH Multiphysics in the future.

Except for the mathematical derivation part, which involves at most some calculation principles, it is impossible to write down all the specific implementation details.

That becomes commercial espionage.

When the time comes, I will be robbed first, and then I will check.

Hey!

It was leaked by my boss.

That would be funny.

As for submissions…

In fact, there is no need to submit an article.

After all, the journal Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has not yet been officially launched, and the publishing house has only just been completed.

And Chang Haonan himself is also the editor-in-chief.

For this reason, the release date of the first issue of Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is almost one month earlier than expected.

In fact, although new journals will basically ask big names to serve as editor-in-chief in their early stages, and at the same time ask them to publish some papers to increase the number of citations and influence, in most cases, these invitations are not enough. The papers coming here are mainly reviews.

Firstly, as long as the person who writes the review is famous enough, the number of citations will generally increase within a short period of time after publication, much faster than ordinary papers with the same impact factor.

The second reason is that for scholars with a certain reputation, reviews are relatively easy to write and do not involve any research results. After all, high-level papers are not a big deal, and it is difficult to say that they can be written for you immediately after being commissioned.

Of course, there is actually another point.

Even for most big-name academic leaders, "publishing a paper in a journal for which you are the editor-in-chief" is often easily regarded as a scam, and may also attract criticism from academic opponents.

In short, there are not many honest people like Chang Haonan who really treat heavyweight achievements as hair extensions...

However, there was another practical problem before him.

JCAS, or the entire Chinese academic journal, is now in a state where no one pays attention.

Moreover, these days there are not as many media outlets that specialize in academic fields as later.

Therefore, even if Chang Haonan publishes a paper directly on it without making any noise, it is likely that he will not make any waves.

so……

It has to be arXiv.

As a preprint website, publishing results in advance on arXiv will not affect normal submissions, but it can attract the attention of many researchers paying attention to this direction.

Completely meets Chang Haonan's needs.

So, after checking that the content was correct for the last time, he opened the website as usual, and then uploaded the completed document...

…

Almost at the same time.

Across the ocean.

Columbus, Ohio.

Ohio State University.

Senior researcher Harold Huang holds a freshly opened sandwich in his left hand, and with his right hand controls the mouse to click to enter the arXiv web page.

In fact, as an engineering technician who mainly studies high-order numerical simulation formats, there is actually very little content in arXiv that interests him.

However, after last year's exaggerated popularity, arXiv's influence in the "mainstream" academic community has also increased a lot.

Although everyone feels that it is unlikely that another person will directly put earth-shattering results on it.

But now that there are lessons learned from Chang Haonan and Perelman, who can be sure?

Moreover, even if there are few truly significant results above, some wild ideas may still bring some inspiration.

Therefore, at least most researchers will take a look from time to time to see if there are any surprises.

It can be regarded as some kind of blind box opening behavior.

And Harold is one of them.

He was used to going there during lunch, which was considered a kind of relaxation between work.

Of course, it is sometimes interesting to watch some outrageous civil science posts on it and then get angrily criticized by people (usually bored students)...

But while waiting for the web page to load, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in!"

Harold raised his head and answered loudly.

As his voice fell, the door slowly opened.

Then, a young student walked in.

However, he looked a little downcast.

"Matthew?"

Harold saw that his usually energetic student was like an eggplant beaten by frost today, and he couldn't help but feel worried:

"What happened?"

"Teacher, my paper was rejected by the JCP editor again."

The doctoral student known as Matthew sat across from Harold, completely wilted.

JCP, The Journal of Chemical Physics, one of the most important academic journals in the field of chemical physics, was published by the American Union of Physics in 1933.

Although the impact factor is not high, it is a very influential journal in the industry and widely recognized by academic and industrial circles.

"How can it be?"

Harold put down the mouse and sandwich, and his attention completely shifted from the computer screen to Matthew:

"Didn't I specifically ask you to state in the introduction that the new framework in the paper has high accuracy in implicit large eddy simulation of lower Reynolds number turbulence?"

"Of course I did."

Matthew nodded:

"But the editor of JCP still didn't accept it."

Harold frowned.

He was very confident about Matthew's paper, but he was puzzled that it didn't reach the reviewer's hands after submitting it to JCP twice in a row.

At the same time, he was a little annoyed.

"Did the editor mention a specific reason when rejecting the paper? I mean... not the kind of clichés."

Matthew nodded;

"Just like last time, the editor said that the first half of the paper was too basic and involved a lot of mathematical theory calculations, which did not meet the acceptance principles of JCP. He hoped that we could make revisions..."

"Bang--"

Before Matthew finished speaking, Harold slammed the table angrily:

"It's ridiculous... Can too basic content be a reason for rejection?"

Looking at the suddenly furious mentor, Matthew trembled all over, and his expression was almost crying:

"But...but this is what the editor replied..."

Harold took a few quick breaths and didn't reply.

Of course, his anger was not directed at Matthew.

But at the editorial department of JCP.

Harold had already guessed something.

The rejection was not because the content was too basic.

It was because his research was based on a high-precision format based on the reconstruction of polynomials within a unit, which was inconsistent with the direction of the current "mainstream academic community".

The butt determines the head, which is also a very common situation in the academic community.

For example, in the field of biology, if your research results are not conducive to the commercialization of transgenics, then journals under the Nature system are more inclined to accept it.

If it is beneficial to the commercialization of transgenics, then there is a greater probability that it will be accepted by journals under the Science system.

However, no matter how common it is, it is impossible for anyone not to be angry if it really happens to him.

What's more, in the field of fluid mechanics simulation, the scope of submission is actually very limited.

If I submit to a purely theoretical physics journal like Physical Review, it's obviously not good enough...

"Let me take a look at the article and see if I can submit it to another journal."

After suppressing his anger, Harold said in a gentle tone:

"If it doesn't work, the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will invite me to give a report at the end of this year. I'll talk about the content of this paper at that time..."

That being said, "reporting at a conference" and "publishing a conference paper" are not the same thing.

The high-order flux reconstruction method they studied does have high application potential in aerospace, especially in the field of aerospace, but it is not directly related after all.

It's still a bit difficult to publish it as a conference paper.

However, at this point, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Okay... okay..."

Matthew nodded somewhat dejectedly, said goodbye to Harold, and left the office.

"Alas..."

Looking at the student who was hit hard, the latter sighed helplessly, then picked up the cold sandwich and looked at the computer screen again.

After such a long time, the arXiv webpage must have been loaded.

However, Harold had just taken a bite and had not had time to swallow it when he was shocked by the title at the top of the list and stopped chewing.

"A conservative level set method..."

"No... someone actually published a preprint paper on numerical calculation methods on arXiv?"

Curious, he moved the cursor to it and clicked in.

When the webpage was just loaded, this paper had less than 50 views.

And after only ten minutes, when Harold clicked in.

He found that the number of views displayed in the lower right corner had reached four digits...

"Huh?"

He could hardly believe his eyes:

"Is this the popularity of the field of numerical calculation?"

After confirming that the number was more than a thousand instead of more than a hundred, Harold almost subconsciously looked at the bottom of the paper title -

There is basically only one possibility for this kind of situation where the number of views skyrocketed right after publication.

That is, many people specifically set up to follow this author.

In other words, he must be a famous big shot.

But it seems that none of the famous experts in numerical calculations are used to publishing things on arXiv...

CHANG Haonan.

"Hiss..."

Harold couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"How could I forget about him..."
