I Have a Research Support System

Xu Qiu went to Zhang Jiang's laboratory in the afternoon to continue post-processing.

Doing experiments alone, time flies by.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the six groups of products all completed a series of operations such as chloroform Soxhlet extraction, precipitation, filtration, drying, weighing, and bottling.

Including his P4T series, four different side chains are dendritic alkyl groups with 14, 18, 22, and 26 carbon atoms, 2BO, 2HD, 2OD, and 2DT.

There are also P3T-2HD and P5T-2DT synthesized by Han Jiaying under his suggestion.

Yields are still relatively normal, fluctuating between 55-75%.

...

Thursday Friday.

Xu Qiu arranged work for Han Jiaying, while he continued to concentrate on writing articles.

I wrote it for two consecutive days, and by Friday afternoon, the article was basically completed.

This work is mainly "the design, synthesis and optoelectronic application of a new polymer donor material PBT4T".

Later, Han Jiaying added three batches of devices, and the efficiency was finally optimized to 6.48%.

The grade of the article is roughly at the end of the second district. It is estimated that it is still possible to publish ACSAMI. This journal is a relatively well-known water journal in the field of materials.

Most journals, such as AM and Nature, only contain about 1,000 articles a year.

The annual number of articles included in ACSAMI is about 5,000, far exceeding the number of articles published in normal journals.

The positioning of this kind of journal is that it has a large volume, and it is generally used by journal companies to recycle manuscripts. When an author submits to other high-end journals under ACS journals, such as JACS, and is rejected, there is a chance that he will be suggested to submit here.

Similarly, the "Nature" series also has a journal dedicated to recycling manuscripts, which is "Nature Communications", NC, and the number of articles collected annually also exceeds 5,000.

The manuscripts it collects are often the manuscripts that hit the main journal of "Nature" or the failure of major sub-journals.

Of course, there are also some jobs with an impact factor of 10-40, which will be submitted here.

For Xu Qiu's second job, Mr. Wei was interested in joining NC at that time, but he chose AM in the end.

In addition, the journal "Nature Communication" only has an electronic version and is an open source journal, which means that it does not charge readers, but only charges authors. Everyone can read and download articles on NC online for free.

Therefore, it is expensive to publish.

Generally, publishing an article in a non-open source journal will cost thousands of yuan in page fees at most, while publishing an NC will cost tens of thousands of yuan in page fees.

But even so, there are still countless people chasing after it.

The first author of this article by Xu Qiu must be himself, the fourth author Tian Qing, and the fifth author Wei Teacher hangs up the newsletter. These are also very certain.

So, here comes the question, how to arrange the second and third works?

On the one hand, the senior sister took him to do various tests in the preliminary experiment.

On the other hand, Xuemei helped him make several batches of devices in the later experiments, and added some experimental characterizations.

In terms of contribution, the two are equal, and it is difficult to judge them.

But the article has a joint first author, but I have never heard of a joint second author.

No matter what, in the end it is still scored in order.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qiu decided to give the second work to Chen Wanqing.

His main consideration is that for postgraduates, an article written in the second district and second work can add some points when evaluating scholarships, but for undergraduates, an article written in the second district and second work is almost meaningless for scholarship evaluation.

The Shanghai University of Magic City started the awards in early October, and announced the results of the awards in late October.

Undergraduate awards account for as much as 50%, and the remaining 50% includes class activities, student work, etc.

In the end, he won a corporate naming scholarship and received 5,000 yuan.

The main reason is that there are a few ruthless people in the material, who are crazy about their grade points, and their grades are close to full.

But Xu Qiu was busy with scientific research, and his GPA was only maintained at 3.5, so he couldn't compete with them.

In fact, there is not much difference between the naming award and the national award, only 3,000 yuan, and the national award is 8,000 yuan.

Magic City Comprehensive University has a rather strange rule, that is, each person can only get one scholarship per year, that is, if you win the National Award, you cannot get other scholarships.

As for the first, second, and third prizes of school-level academic scholarships, unless you fail a course or violate discipline, everyone is guaranteed to have it, and the third prize is 2,000 yuan.

The awards cannot be superimposed, and the result is that the difference in bonuses will not be too large.

In addition, the awards are judged once a year, the highest is 8,000 a year, and the lowest is 2,000 a year, so most people don't bother to compete.

If it can be superimposed, the country + title + first prize add up to close to 15,000, and the motivation of the students will be much stronger.

...

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qiu emailed the article to Chen Wanqing and Han Jiaying, asking them to check it over.

The school girl is still helping him with the experiment, so she can't be counted on for the time being.

The senior sister happened to be at the desk. After she got it, she started to read it directly.

Chen Wanqing's reading speed is quite fast, after all, she is also a veteran in literature reading, and Xu Qiu thinks that she is still not as good as her in literature reading.

But senior sister is a little bit... in terms of experimental ability.

Half an hour later, Chen Wanqing read it through and said:

"Student, the writing is getting better and better. I can't find any major problems. I only found a few minor problems. I have highlighted them for you. You can correct them."

"Okay." Xu Qiu roughly scanned it, and Chen Wanqing pointed out several formatting problems, one context connection problem, and one supplementary description, which were not difficult to correct.

While revising, he said:

"By the way, sister, how is your article writing? Is it almost finished?"

"How can it be so fast? I always write while doing experiments. Unlike you, someone helps to do experiments, so I can concentrate on writing." Chen Wanqing said:

"Either discuss it and lend me Han Jiaying for a few weeks?"

"I just wrote a few more days this week. Didn't I always do experiments before? As for Han Jiaying, you can ask her yourself." Xu Qiu said.

"I can't command her, I have to tell you." Chen Wanqing smiled meaningfully.

Xu Qiu always felt that there was something in her words, but she still replied seriously:

"If senior sister really needs it, I'll just mention it to her."

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore, Han Jiaying mainly wants to help you," Chen Wanqing said:

"I have published two papers in the second area, and I have one in hand, and then there is another one about the crystallinity of your P4T material changing with temperature.

If I gather enough four chapters and the second section to meet the graduation standard, I will..."

"So you can be a salted fish with peace of mind?" Xu Qiu quickly replied.

"What kind of salted fish, you have to have a dream to cut it," Chen Wan gave him an innocent look, and continued:

"I have to work hard to see if I can write a big article like AM."

"Then have you decided on a direction?" Xu Qiu said.

"Non-fullerenes, I feel that the field of fullerenes has fallen into a bottleneck, and the only possible breakthrough is non-fullerenes." Chen Wanqing said.

"As for the specific direction, non-fullerenes are not a small subdivision." Xu Qiu said.

He has some ideas in his mind, and it's not related to fullerene. Could it be that it coincides with the senior sister?

"The specific direction, I haven't figured it out yet." Chen Wanqing said.
