Chapter 899: Submitting to a Chinese Journal?

Almost without thinking, Professor Harold clicked the download button next to the paper preview page.

About half a minute later, a PDF document appeared on his computer desktop.

After opening it, he followed his habit and read the summary as quickly as possible.

"It turns out to be an article related to the level set method... It seems to be related to topology, which Professor Chang is good at."

Harold’s specialization is actually in the high-order numerical simulation framework. However, two-phase flow is an unavoidable topic in the field of aerospace power. As a past NASA researcher, it is difficult for him not to have some understanding of this field. :

"No wonder he has spent the past year..."

While he was thinking this, he skipped the background introduction and started reading the text.

Torch Lab published a Nature paper on materials science, which is basically only known to people in the industry.

Therefore, most scholars' impression of the name Chang Haonan still remains at the time when it came out last year.

It is a very normal operation for a mathematician, after completing the ultimate achievement in the field of topology to prove the Poincaré conjecture, to go back and put his research results into application.

"First set the motion equation, then update the level set function...add an intermediate term..."

"In order to prevent breakpoints, add sticky items..."

"Assume that the velocity field on the unit grid is u=sin^2(πx)sin(2xy)..."

"..."

At first, Harold just had the mentality of "let me see what the big guys are working on" and prepared to take a casual look.

But once I saw it, I couldn't stop easily.

Because starting from the third section, Harold realized that the paper in front of him was very similar to the rejected paper just now.

Of course not in terms of content.

Although both are algorithmic research in the field of computational fluid dynamics, they are not related from mathematical theory to practical problems.

But it means...

The writing style of the article is very similar.

They all start from the classic algorithms commonly used in the past. They first use about half of the space to conduct mathematical derivation, then use a typical calculation example to verify the advantages of the new algorithm compared to the traditional algorithm, and finally prove that the algorithm converges within the specified usable interval.

"Fxxk..."

Harold breathed out fragrance for a while:

"I'm just saying, even he writes like this, which shows that this kind of paper structure should be no problem..."

Although Chang Haonan currently does not have any prestigious titles in the international academic world, anyone who pays a little attention to the field of mathematics will know that among the list of Fields Medal winners in 2002, it is basically certain that Chang Haonan and Pei Lehrman duo.

Therefore, this paper gave Harold sufficient confidence.

In fact, at the moment he just sent Matthew away, Harold even hesitated whether he should revise it again according to the JCP editor's suggestion——

Even if he clearly knows that due to content preferences, even if he changes it, he will probably continue to make things difficult for him.

But if we don’t change, there won’t even be any hope.

Of course it didn't matter to him, but as the first doctoral student he taught after becoming a professor, Matthew still needed a paper to accompany him.

But now, Harold decided.

Not a word changed!

After making a thorough decision, Harold quickly dragged Chang Haonan's paper to the conclusion at the bottom, preparing to find a different magazine to submit it to after reading it.

but.

Just when he moved the mouse and was about to click on the upper right corner to close the document, his attention was attracted by a paragraph at the bottom of the paper, even after the conclusion.

[This paper is a preprint and does not represent my final research results, so the content is still subject to modification or addition. 】

[The official version of the paper will be published in the first issue of "Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (English version)" issued in May 2001...]

"etc……"

Harold's movements on his hands suddenly stopped, he opened his eyes wide and said to himself:

"Is Professor Chang planning to publish this paper?"

But he soon realized that what he just said was not human at all.

It is normal for a paper to be written and published in a journal.

Publish it directly on arXiv, once before it is enough to become a celebrity through the ages.

After all, Chang Haonan and Perelman wrote very clearly at the end of that paper that the Poincaré conjecture is a wealth and treasure that belongs to all mankind, so they decided to disclose it to all mankind in a threshold-free form.

The conservation level set method in front of us is obviously not a "treasure of mankind" in any way.

Naturally, he does not deserve the same treatment as Poincaré Conjecture.

After figuring out this link, Harold's attention immediately shifted to the following "Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (English version)".

Obviously, this is a naked advertisement.

It is to use Chang Haonan's reputation in the field of mathematics and applied mathematics to get everyone to pay attention to this new journal that has not even released its first issue.

Simple and crude.

But many times, simple is best.

For example, now, Harold followed the information given by the other party without hesitation and entered the website of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Then……

The first thing that catches the eye is the information introduction from the editorial team.

And Chang Haonan's name is at the first position among them.

Editor-in-Chief.

Harold was numb.

It took a long time to recover from the shock:

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

He shook his head somewhat dumbfounded.

If it weren't for this relationship, I'm afraid no one would publish such important research results in a new journal...

However, at this moment, Harold suddenly opened his mind.

Although this is a new journal.

It was also founded by a Chinese organization.

But no matter what, after all, there is the golden sign of Chang Haonan.

Moreover, as far as the content of the paper just now is concerned, it may even have a revolutionary effect on two-phase flow simulation.

If all the papers in the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were...

wrong.

That's outrageous.

It should be that even if only one tenth can reach the same level, it is enough to challenge the status of Nature and Science.

In short, the future is promising.

More importantly, Harold believed that Chang Haonan, the developer of TORCH Multiphysics, would be able to discern the great value of his paper!

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore.

After finishing the sandwich that had gone completely cold in a few bites, he quickly picked up the phone and called Matthew back, who had just left not long ago.

Within a few minutes, the latter was sitting across from the desk again.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Matthew's spirits were better than when he left before, but he was still a little absent-minded.

"That's right."

Harold has returned to a state of complacency:

“I have already found the target for my next submission, and I am very sure that I will pass it directly!”

However, the other party's reaction was not as exciting as Harold imagined.

"teacher……"

Matthew tried his best to act cooperative with the performance, but his tone was more helpless:

"You told me the same thing before I submitted my article to JCP last time..."

"Well……"

Harold was a little embarrassed when his students exposed him.

Fortunately, he was not a face-conscious person, so he quickly pretended to have lost his memory:

"Is there still such a thing?"

Matthew nodded:

"Not a word bad."

"Ahem——"

Harold had no choice but to cough slightly to cover up his embarrassment:

"Anyway, there is a real chance this time. Come and take a look."

As he spoke, he motioned for Matthew to come behind him, and then displayed the paper on the screen and the webpage of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Submit to...Chinese journals?"

Matthew couldn't believe his eyes:

"And... this looks like a new journal that hasn't been released yet?"

He was a bit doubtful that his mentor was ready to break the pot.

"Look carefully...the editor-in-chief is Professor Chang Haonan who proved Poincaré's conjecture last year!"

There was a hint of hatred in Harold's tone.

As a student, I perform well in terms of hard work and seriousness, but I do lack a bit of spirituality.

"Moreover, Professor Chang will publish a paper in the first issue. The research content is also computational fluid dynamics, and the structure of the article is almost exactly the same as ours."

"In this case, this journal will probably be included in the SCI database immediately after its release, and the number of citations will be guaranteed..."

Matthew's eyes gradually brightened.

Even though a year has passed, Chang Haonan's name is still convincing in the field of mathematics and applied mathematics.

With him as editor-in-chief, he can at least ensure that the journal will not degenerate into a subpar pheasant magazine——

To put it another way, even if the other manuscripts are all fake, as long as Chang Haonan posts his results regularly, he can still guarantee the most basic citations and impact factor.

so……

This wave is not a loss!
