I Have a Research Support System

Han Jiaying's experimental data has been basically completed, and Xu Qiu is also free to focus on her own work.

Now he is writing an article on different sidechain P4T systems. The framework of the article has been listed, and only the description part needs to be supplemented.

In addition, he also plans to write a review on non-fullerenes, summarize the existing work in the field, and make an outlook on future development directions.

In fact, Xu Qiu came up with the idea of ​​writing a review at that time, not only because he planned to do research in this area in the future, but also because he searched the literature for the past two years and found no high-quality non-fullerene reviews, so he had to do it himself Let's do it.

He didn't pay too much attention to this review.

Anyway, after the article is written, even if it cannot be published in better journals such as AFM and ACS Energy Letter, it is still safe to submit to JMCA.

The review is not like an experimental article. As long as the focus of the review is different from that of the recently published review of the same type, the article should not be too badly written, and all the referenced documents should be cited. It is not difficult to mix it with the second district.

Because most of the reviewers are researchers in related fields, every time other people publish a review, the related articles they publish can increase the number of citations, which is only good for the reviewers, not bad, so it doesn’t make sense Stop others from publishing.

Following Teacher Wei's reminder, Xu Qiu first asked Wu Feifei for a template of the proposal.

In his feeling, this plan should not be too complicated, and it can be made in two or three days if you work hard.

But when he saw the template, he realized that the facts were not as simple as he imagined.

It is said that it is a proposal, but in fact, the content has already covered the main framework of a review article, but it has not been expanded in detail.

Take Wu Feifei's article as an example. She cited nearly a hundred documents, covering most of the recent articles published in the field of perovskites.

There may be relatively few publications in the field of organic photovoltaics every year, but this research field lasts for a long time, and the accumulated total amount may not be much less than that of the perovskite field.

Xu Qiu thought to himself, no wonder this time after he discussed with Teacher Wei, Teacher Wei set a deadline for him to complete it unlike other times, probably because he knew that the workload involved was huge.

He estimated that this proposal accounted for about one-third of the workload of a review.

If you want to complete it, you have to prepare for at least two weeks without distraction.

Of course, he hasn't seen what the proposals of other research groups look like, so he doesn't know if this is a common practice, or it may just be that Mr. Wei's requirements are stricter.

However, it is right to be more strict. This kind of initiative to ask an editor for a draft is considered to be asking someone to do something, so you should be fully prepared.

If the quality of the manuscript is poor, the editor will forcibly open the back door to submit it for review. Such favors will only be used less and less, and mutual benefit is the best policy.

If it is a high-quality manuscript, the editor can easily explain it, and both parties will be happy when the article is published.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Qiu decided to postpone the writing of the review proposal until after the exam in January.

Before the exam, it is just right to submit the article at hand.

...

January 1, New Year's Day.

In the afternoon, Wu Feifei came out of Teacher Wei's office. She returned to Room 216 and informed everyone:

"Tonight, Teacher Wei is going to invite us to dinner on the third floor of the restaurant in the headquarters. There will be several teachers present, which should be similar to last year."

"Great," Duan Yun quickly answered, "I still remember the fish head soup over there, it tasted very delicious."

"Indeed, fish head soup is the signature dish there, and it is served in limited quantities every day," Wu Feifei added:

"It is said that when Mr. Wei booked the private room one month in advance, he made an appointment with the manager over there."

"Duan Yun, don't drink too much wine this year," Tian Qing joked, "If you get under the table like last year, Xu Qiu will have to carry you back."

"I didn't control it well last year. This year I must do what I can." Duan Yun smiled and turned to ask:

"By the way, Xu Qiu, how is your drinking capacity? The deans of the material department should come tonight, and they will toast as usual."

"It's okay." Xu Qiu replied ambiguously.

His drinking capacity is actually not bad, mainly because the wine culture in his hometown is relatively strong. During the Chinese New Year, half a catty of baijiu is indispensable, and the alcohol content is not low, mostly 52 degrees.

In fact, he somewhat dislikes this kind of wine culture, but the elders in the family persuade him to drink, so he has to take a few sips to express himself.

In this way, after exercising all year round, his drinking capacity has naturally increased, and of course he will inevitably vomit during the period.

However, after he came to Shanghai, he seldom drank alcohol among his social circle and classmates. Most of the dinners were drinks such as Coke and Sprite. At most, he opened a few bottles of beer to add to the fun.

Xu Qiu knew that someone like him, who could drink half a catty of white wine without getting drunk, was considered an upper standard in Shanghai.

But at this time, you must not act too drinkable, or the wine on the table will be yours in the end.

Even those who can drink have to be poured down, so they must be humble.

"Then you have to be smart, don't get drunk later, we are the only boys in our group, it must be Mr. Wei's focus on the target, last year I got fucked badly." Duan Yun said.

"Thank you brother Duan Yun for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention." Xu Qiu smiled.

The topic started, and everyone had no interest in scientific research, so they started chatting and discussing.

...

Around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wei Xingsi appeared at the door of 216. He changed into a gray-white suit, trousers, and a tie today, and the clothes were neatly ironed.

"Come here, two people, help me get the wine." Teacher Wei called the two boys directly: "Xu Qiu, Duan Yun, it's just you two."

"Okay." The two of them looked at each other, got up and followed Teacher Wei.

Coming to room 218, Teacher Wei pointed to the four bottles of wine on the table and introduced: "This is the wine I brought back from the place of origin during my visit to Europe this summer."

Xu Qiu and Duan Yun didn't answer the conversation, they divided the work tacitly, each picked up two bottles.

There are four bottles of wine, including three dark-colored bottles and one light-colored bottle. The dark-colored bottle should be red wine, and the light-colored bottle should be white wine.

The two bottles in Xu Qiu's hands, one red and the other white, are quite heavy to pick up.

He looked at the label on the bottle, it wasn't in English, it was in French, he only knew Lafite for French wine, but looking at the bottle in his hand, the brand name didn't quite look the same either.

Not long after, Teacher Wei took out another bottle of Moutai from the cabinet, held it in his hand, and said, "It should be enough, let's go."

The three returned to Room 216. Teacher Wei looked around the room, and finally said to Wu Feifei:

"My car can only carry four people. I'll take the two of them to deliver the wine first, and the rest can walk. Did you forget the name of the private room?"

"Qingshan Residence, right?" Wu Feifei said.

"That's right, you bring them over. Zhou Mathematics, Fang Guangwu and other teachers have an appointment at six o'clock. You should come earlier and don't be late."

After Teacher Wei finished speaking, he strode straight downstairs, Xu Qiu and Duan Yun hurriedly followed.

There are very few parking spaces planned in the school, and there is no special parking space planned downstairs on the first floor of the material, so most vehicles are parked directly on the side of the road.

After walking around with Teacher Wei, I found the car. The car logo has five stars. Xu Qiu is not familiar with it. He only knows some simple car logos, such as four circles and don't touch me.

After getting in the car, Wei Xingsi drove the car slowly to the restaurant in the headquarters.

"Duan Yun, how is the writing of the bismuth telluride-doped PH1000 article going?"

"It's coming soon, I should be able to write it this week, I'll show it to you in two days?"

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, the night after tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Can."

"Learn more from Xu Qiu and come up with something big." Teacher Wei pointed out.

"En." Duan Yun responded calmly, he had heard such words many times, and now he has no feeling.

Teacher Wei liked to use Wu Feifei as an example before, but now it is Xu Qiu.

He also wants to make a big article, but in the field of scientific research, hard work is not useful.

Teacher Wei didn't talk to him any more, and turned to Xu Qiu and said, "What's the matter with the review, have you contacted Wu Feifei?"

Xu Qiu organized his language and said: "I've looked for it, I got the template and looked it over, and I feel that her plan is too detailed. If I write according to this template, it may not be finished in a while, so I plan to wait for the handout. Submit this article, and then focus on this.”

"It's okay, slow work and careful work." Wei Xingsi paused and said:

"I have been working on the perylene diimide system in the last few years abroad, that is, the small molecule receptors of the PDI series. After returning to China, I want to pass this part of the work to Chen Wanqing, but unfortunately she can't do it well, and later on Put it on hold, you can think more about research in this area.”

"Okay." Xu Qiu agreed. He also knew something about the PDI series of non-fullerene receptors. This field is considered to be Teacher Wei's feelings.

I heard from the senior sister that when Teacher Wei returned to China, she brought a batch of PDI materials back, hoping that she could continue to study, but in the end she screwed up, because she was often criticized for this matter.

"I always think that non-fullerene is the key point. The field of organic photovoltaics has been stagnant for many years. If there is no major breakthrough, it will be difficult to develop later. I heard that there are signs in foreign countries, and many organic photovoltaic projects have not approved funding. Yes, a lot of projects have been cut." Teacher Wei comforted:

"However, you don't have to worry about this matter. It won't affect the country for a while. Besides, your ability is here, and it's the same in any field. If it doesn't work, you can also make perovskite."

"Hmm." Xu Qiu responded softly. As a researcher in the field of organic photovoltaics, he can more or less perceive the problems Mr. Wei mentioned.

Relatively speaking, the news brought by Mr. Wei is more intuitive.

Project funding is the source of scientific research. Once a field is cut off from the fund project, without funding support, this field will surely decline slowly.
