Chapter 240 I'll Tell You A Secret, Don't Tell Others (Please Subscribe)

After spending nearly an hour, Xu Qiu re-read the review article and made corresponding revisions according to Teacher Wei's suggestion.

At the same time, the task assigned to Chen Wanqing to make the PPT was already completed by the senior sister. After Xu Qiu received it, she made some changes and submitted the PPT to Wu Feifei. The matter was considered closed.

Afterwards, Xu Qiu went to the laboratory to check the progress of Han Jiaying's experiment. The junior girl was spinning the effective layer at this time. After seeing him, she greeted cheerfully: "Brother, you are here~"

"Well, let's see how your experiment is doing." Xu Qiu responded with a smile, and while no one was looking around, he rubbed the school girl's hair.

He also reserved the experimental conditions for the junior girl before. The maximum efficiency of his system was controlled at about 7%, and the junior girl's own system was controlled at about 6%.

Standing next to Han Jiaying, Xu Qiu checked the operation process of her experiment, found nothing wrong, chatted for a while, and returned to the office.

After resting in his seat for a while and drinking a few sips of water, Xu Qiu went to 218 again with a USB flash drive.

"Is the article revised?"

"Fixed."

"sit down."

"good."

After the two had a brief exchange with each other, they stopped talking nonsense.

Wei Xingsi directly plugged in the USB flash drive, and found that this time it was no longer a single WORD file, but a folder named "NFA Review", so he hurriedly opened it to view it.

"Hey, it's all done." Wei Xingsi said with emotion.

He browsed the folder and found that it contained the main text WORD text, picture folder, ENDNOTE file of references, copyright use application PDF and Cover Letter document, covering all the content needed for a review article.

If it is a normal experimental work article, there will also be a folder dedicated to placing experimental data, but the review does not involve experiments, so naturally this part is not needed.

This time, Wei Xingsi did not directly copy the folders in the USB flash drive to the desktop. Instead, he operated the mouse, opened "This Computer", and clicked layers of folders in sequence: D drive/Scientific Research/Articles/Organic Photovoltaics (OPV).

Of course, the name of each folder is in English, which is a habit he has developed after working abroad for a long time. Under his influence, the students in the research group rarely use Chinese names when naming files.

Wei Xingsi stared at the "NFA Review" folder in the USB flash drive for a while, and seemed to want to change the name, but in the end he didn't do it, and directly copied the entire folder into the "OPV" subdirectory.

Then, he opened the "NFA Review_draft2.docx" file, checked the top title, author, and work unit again, and quickly flipped down the page after confirming that it was correct.

This time it was much faster than last time, the text part was almost swept away, only the picture part, and the gaze stayed longer.

Ten minutes later, it finally came to the fourth part—conclusion and prospect. Wei Xingsi slowed down his reading speed, read it carefully, changed a few words, and said with a smile:

"The last few paragraphs were written by Mr. Tang."

"Yes." Xu Qiu nodded not surprised. Teacher Tang Yunkun's writing style is different from him and the materials and documents he usually reads. If you look carefully, you can easily see the difference.

However, considering that this article was written by the professor himself after all, and the field involved was not a theoretical field that Xu Qiu was familiar with, he didn't make too many changes, basically keeping it as it was.

"It was written by him at first glance, and the writing method is very 'physical'." Wei Xingsi said, he saved the file casually, then clicked the X in the upper right corner, opened several other folders to look, and nodded in satisfaction, "That's it, the review is well written, take it back and check it a few times later, and we will reject it tonight."

Wei Xingsi unplugged the USB flash drive, tapped the metal head of the USB flash drive on the table, then pointed to a large plastic bag on the coffee table, and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this time, this is the fruit I just bought from Hippo Fresh, take To 216, you share the food."

"Okay." Xu Qiu was not polite to Teacher Wei, took the USB flash drive, then turned around and left with a heavy plastic bag.

Back at 216, he put the plastic bag on the desk, and the desk shook slightly, making a muffled "boom".

Before Xu Qiu could say anything, Tian Qing and Chen Wanqing next to her came over, like kittens waiting to be fed, hearing the sound of cat food hitting the food bowl.

"Teacher Wei gave it to us?"

"Um."

"What's there?"

"Dongzao, longan, orange, strawberry..."

Xu Qiu took a box of fruit out of the plastic bag and put it on the desk. Teacher Wei gave a lot of fruit this time, there were more than a dozen boxes, and he couldn't finish it in a while.

The desk is a public area, whether it is food, or stationery such as highlighters, black pens, and sticky notes, if it is not put in a drawer or a private storage box, it will disappear when you turn your head.

Especially for stationery such as black fountain pens, I went to the supplies department to get 20 pieces, and after a month, I may only find a few. Normal consumption obviously cannot use up so much, so this is also called laboratory equipment. supernatural event.

Looking at the laboratory, Han Jiaying was still doing experiments in the glove box. Xu Qiu took a box of winter dates and a box of strawberries. The winter dates were eaten by himself, and the strawberries were reserved for the school girl. He knew she liked strawberries more. Although the strawberries in this season are not very delicious.

"Sister, here is the final version of the summary. Teacher Wei asked us to check it again and vote it out tonight." Xu Qiu said.

Chen Wanqing took the USB flash drive, with a few petals of orange still wrapped in her mouth, she said vaguely, "Okay."

Xu Qiu returned to his seat, opened the review draft file, and was doing the final inspection while knocking on the winter dates.

It is very painful to read the articles I wrote by myself, especially the review that has been revised several times. It was version 1 when it was submitted to Mr. Wei before. In fact, the revised version has exceeded 10 internally. Teacher Wei's revision of the article will not be so smooth, and it is basically finalized after only two revisions.

Not only that, I have read too many articles, and my mind is used to wrong expressions, and it is difficult for me to discover some obvious mistakes.

However, there is no need to worry too much about the help of seniors and juniors. Most of the bugs will definitely be found out. This is a bit like crossfire. One person can't cover it, but three people can always cover it.

As for the rest of the research team, Xu Qiu didn't bother. After all, this article only listed the name of the organic trio, and the others were not authors, so there was no reason to help.

It is mainly because of Mr. Wei's philosophy. He doesn't like students in different fields in the group to name each other's authors in the articles, unless it is a special case.

In one case, there is cooperation in different fields within the group. For example, organic photovoltaic devices used perovskite transmission layer materials before, so it is reasonable to bring Wu Feifei;

Or Tian Qing helped test and analyze the CELIV data, plus Tian Qing was fine.

Another situation is that when Chen Wanqing was the only one in the organic field, her English level was quite anxious, and Teacher Wei was completely unable to start correcting her articles, so she asked Wu Feifei to do it a few times first, so naturally Wu Feifei must be brought name.

But after Xu Qiu appeared, this situation no longer existed. Speaking of it, he seemed to have robbed Wu Feifei of her job, otherwise she might have had a few more articles written by second or third authors.

After a while, Han Jiaying returned to the office. She had loaded more than 20 pieces of spin-coated devices into the evaporation chamber, started the mechanical pump and molecular pump, and set the heating conditions. keep watching.

Xu Qiu waved at her with a USB flash drive in his hand, and said, "The final version of the review needs to be checked at the end, and it will be rejected at night."

Then, like a magic trick, he took out the box of strawberries that he had collected before, "This is specially reserved for you."

"Wow~" Han Jiaying's eyes lit up, and she said in an affectionate tone: "Brother, that's great~"

Seeing this, Tian Qing's eyes lit up, as if her spirit of gossip was on fire, she pulled Chen Wanqing beside her, and said in a low voice, "The two of them, aren't they..."

Chen Wanqing looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else..."

After hearing this, Tian Qing nodded lightly, revealing that she really did, then looked back and forth between Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying, and assured Chen Wanqing in a low voice: "Don't worry, my mouth is tight."

Five thirty in the evening.

The organic trio completed the final check of the review article and again made a dozen minor revisions to obtain the final version 3.

However, Han Jiaying's device has not been evaporated yet. Usually, if the device is prepared in the morning, the preparation and testing can be completed before dinner. got the answer.

Afterwards, the seven members of the research team went to the canteen in the North District to settle their dinner, and parted ways at the entrance of the canteen.

Tian Qing and Wu Feifei returned to the dormitory together. On the way, Tian Qing said mysteriously: "Wu Feifei, I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else..."

The other five returned to Material 1, Han Jiaying had to continue the vapor deposition, Xu Qiu and Sun Wo had no dormitory to return to, and Chen Wanqing and Duan Yun were busy preparing the PPT for tomorrow's group meeting.

Seven forty in the evening.

Han Jiaying has completed the evaporation work and started to test the device;

Chen Wanqing is preparing for the synthetic route of the new A-D-A molecule with a sad face. Her 1% efficiency data this week is really a bit overwhelming, so I can only write more about the outlook;

Under the guidance of Wu Feifei, Sun Wo was doing experiments in the glove box;

Duan Yun was summarizing the experimental data of last week and stuffing it into the group meeting PPT;

Tian Qing played with the IPAD leisurely, as if she was paddling;

Xu Qiu was summoned to 218 by Teacher Wei.

Wei Xingsi browsed the text again, then operated the big computer in the office, logged in to the ACS website, started the submission process, filled in various information, uploaded all the files, and integrated the web page to generate a PDF file, which automatically started downloading.

The download progress is displayed at the bottom of the webpage, and the progress bar moves forward every few seconds like a turtle crawling.

After waiting for more than three minutes, it was finally prompted that the download was complete, and the file was automatically saved on the desktop. The file name was a bunch of garbled characters with no clear meaning.

Xu Qiu changed the file name to "NFA Review", then made a backup in a USB flash drive, and then checked with Mr. Wei for errors, omissions, and confusion in the layout.

Errors and omissions are easy to understand. Typesetting confusion refers to the occasional abnormal indentation when converting WORD to PDF, resulting in a large amount of blank space or overlapping of pictures and text, which may affect the perception of editors or reviewers.

If you encounter typesetting confusion, you need to modify the original file, add or delete blank lines, and then upload and download repeatedly to check whether the modified effect meets expectations, which is quite troublesome.

According to Xu Qiu’s accumulated experience in submitting and reviewing manuscripts, the probability of such a situation is not high in ACS and Wiley, and the probability of problems in RSC is higher.

This time I was lucky. Although the PDF had a lot of pages, it was not shot. The final layout was basically the same as that in the WORD file.

After confirming that it was correct, Wei Xingsi clicked the submit button.
