When it comes to the impact factors of mathematics professional journals, people really have to complain, because they are generally not high, or it is not not high, but too low!

For example, the impact factor of the "Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" he submitted this time is only 2.676, which is so low that it makes people want to cry.

The impact factor of mathematics journals is not high. In the final analysis, it is a matter of citations.

For example, for a high-quality mathematics paper, the number of citations is only 10,000 in ten years. People will think that the number of citations is too low. However, after you take a closer look, you will find that the number of citations is already unrivaled. Many papers have been published.

The number of possible citations in the next ten years is 0.

Yes, don’t be surprised to see a mathematics paper cited 0 times by others, it’s normal.

"Um...Classmate Liu Yichen, excuse me!" Just when Liu Yichen was immersed in the sea of ​​books, a sudden voice came into his ears.

Liu Yichen raised his head and saw a middle-aged man. His mind was racing. Soon Liu Yichen knew who this person was, Teacher Yang Zhenhua from the School of Mathematics!

"Um...Teacher Yang, what's the matter with you?" Liu Yichen asked in confusion.

Although I know Yang Zhenhua, you must know that Yang Zhenhua does not teach them. Although he also teaches undergraduates, it is not a freshman class.

Logically speaking, they were strangers to each other. He really didn't understand why Yang Zhenhua wanted to see him.

"It's like this, classmate Liu Yichen, I wrote a paper and I would like you to read it and translate it into English if possible... Of course, if you agree, I can add your name to the paper.

As a co-author of the paper." Yang Zhenhua said with some embarrassment.

Yang Zhenhua has graduated with a doctorate more than ten years ago. He completed his undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees at Yanda. It can be said that he is a well-rounded Yanda man. It stands to reason that he can already be rated as a professor after working for more than ten years.

However, at Yanda, there are too many lecturers who have obtained doctorates from prestigious universities. Not to mention those who graduated from Yanda with Ph.D.s, there are also Ph.D. graduates from Princeton University, MIT, Harvard University, UCLA, Oxford University, Cambridge University and other famous universities.

Grab a handful.

In China, returnees are very popular. After all, foreign monks like to chant sutras.

Therefore, Yang Zhenhua, who has always struggled to produce SCI papers under Yanda's assessment system, has been very depressed. The students he once taught are all associate professors, but he is not yet one. Until last year, he spent a lot of money and published two articles.

For the thesis, the leaders of the college saw that he had worked diligently and hard over the past ten years, so they reluctantly agreed to his appointment as an associate professor.

Although it may seem like just a small step up, it is completely different. Only by becoming an associate professor can he be qualified to lead graduate students.

Of course, there is a difference of 3,000 yuan in salary from the previous month. Even though the difference is only 3,000 yuan, the difference in comprehensive income in one year is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. And you must know that the salary of teachers at Yanda is not high.

The normal salary is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Unless you are a very good person with special talents, the annual salary may reach 500,000 yuan or even one million yuan.

Mathematics is special and has little research funding. Even if there is a research topic, the research funding is only tens of thousands or around one hundred thousand yuan, which is different from other majors where research funding can easily reach hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan.

Therefore, the income of mathematics teachers has always been in the middle or even the bottom of the teacher income rankings in universities.

This is the current situation of Huaxia University, which places emphasis on engineering and neglects basic disciplines.

This is also the reason why many mathematics majors often choose to stay overseas to teach rather than return to China. Not only can they be exposed to the most cutting-edge academic theories and the latest academic results overseas, but the salary of 100,000 to 150,000 US dollars is very high.

Normally, if converted, it is an annual salary of 700,000 to 1.05 million yuan a year. You can live very comfortably overseas, but when you return home, you can only get 150,000 to 200,000 yuan, a difference of nearly 7 times!

So, don’t scold those people. Most of them are actually patriotic and have this country in their hearts. What needs to be done is to continuously improve the scientific research environment and increase the income level of scientific researchers. This is truly practical.

While shouting about respecting scientific research workers, shouting that knowledge is the primary productive force, technology is the primary productive force, buying a house requires emptying six pockets, and life is under great pressure, and then giving scientific research workers thousands of dollars a month

If the scientific researcher doesn’t say anything about the money, won’t his wife be resentful? How can the scientific researcher conduct scientific research with peace of mind when his family is restless?

Liu Yichen glanced at Yang Zhenhua in surprise, showing hesitation, but it would be bad if he refused directly. Liu Yichen took the paper and read it from the beginning. He wrote down line after line of calculations on the draft paper. The more Liu Yichen looked at it,

His brows furrowed tighter.

When he saw the fourteenth page of the paper and read the entire paper, Liu Yichen sighed: "Teacher Yang, I'm afraid you won't be able to publish this paper."

"Look, here..." Liu Yichen drew eight places on it. These all have problems, which means that this paper cannot be published. Moreover, Liu Yichen read it again. Although it is

It's about analytic number theory, but this paper actually has no research value.

Liu Yichen himself was not willing to hire him as a collaborator.

Yang Zhenhua felt his face was burning. He couldn't answer what Liu Yichen had drawn. When he was writing the paper, he simply avoided talking about it, thinking that no one would raise it.

But now it seems that I am blindly chasing a dead mouse, and this kind of speculation is not advisable.

Watching Yang Zhenhua leave in despair, Liu Yichen sighed, becoming increasingly pessimistic. Huaxia has made rapid progress in the field of engineering. Many papers with world influence have been produced in the field of engineering. Even in the field of information and computers, it has also developed very rapidly.

is fast, but the development in basic subjects is unsatisfactory.

This teacher is an associate professor of mathematics, but from the perspective of the paper, it is not much different from the paper written by the doctoral student. He saw two words from the paper - cleverness!

However, mathematics and physics papers are very rigorous and require real hard work. The journal will ask at least two reviewers for a paper. How can it really pass the review under such circumstances?

Even if the paper passes review, won’t other scholars see it and raise questions after it is published?

A paper with serious problems would rather not be published, because the negative reactions caused by publication will become more serious.

I sighed in my heart, China’s development has a long way to go!

This situation exists in the majestic Mathematics Department of Yanda University, but what about other universities? Is this phenomenon becoming more common!?

Liu Yichen finally understood why there is such a saying in the mathematics community that one first-class mathematician is better than 10,000 ordinary mathematicians!

The number of Chinese mathematics scholars is the largest in the world, and the scale is the largest, covering all fields of mathematics. However, Chinese mathematics is not strong, big but not strong! This is because the foundation is too thin and the foundation is not solid, so the building of mathematics cannot be built.

"I'm so angry, so irritating. How can these people be like this? They don't look down on the good things of others. If they have the ability, they will publish a paper in the "Annual Review of Mathematics". They tell lies with their eyes open. Their signature is "Mathematics Essentials"

"Abide by the rules, be self-disciplined in mathematics, and don't indulge yourself in mathematics," but it's really funny that you want to criticize others!" Feng Lin said angrily during dinner in the evening.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yichen said with a faint smile.

"Look at this person. He published a long speech on the forum, saying that your proof of Zhou's conjecture is the most shameless operation in the world of mathematics. All your papers are wrong, and you can't find even a little bit of error."

Feng Lin smiled angrily.

"It's just a clown trying to impress people. The most indispensable thing in the world is civil science. It's just a joke. Just don't watch this kind of thing in the future." Liu Yichen listened for a moment and immediately understood that this must be another civil science university.

God is making waves and attracting people’s attention.

For civil science, he can be called the invincible king of the universe.

What they do is truly invincible. For example, there is the Master of Civil Science, a homeless man who spent twenty years obsessed with verifying that Newton's second law is false. For example, every year there is the Master of Civil Science

Promote yourself as proving Goldbach's conjecture...

These special groups who don't study but want to do research are always full of fun in Liu Yichen's eyes, just like clowns.

He proposed that electric charge does not exist without having studied "College Physics". He proposed that plate motion does not exist without studying "General Geology". A lecturer in the field of international economics wrote a paper to prove that Einstein's theory of relativity is influential.

The biggest stumbling block to the progress of social sciences...

Some things are better left unsaid, but make people feel disgusting once they are said.

"This is talking about you, and you're not angry?" Feng Lin opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief.

"What's the matter? Just ignore it!" Liu Yichen said with a slight smile.

"In the future, when you write papers, you may encounter people like this. Just ignore them, don't look at them, out of sight, out of mind," Liu Yichen said.

"I really don't understand these people. Don't they feel guilty when they wantonly criticize others? Don't they have children at home and are not afraid of retribution?" Feng Lin was still a little confused.

"Haha, these people may firmly believe that what they do is just. They are the embodiment of justice, the most righteous people in the world." Liu Yichen said with a hint of sarcasm.

You can't be too serious about some things. If you are too serious, you just can't get along with yourself. There are always people in this world doing weird things, criticizing academics and scientific masters...

Sometimes he shouts 'Freedom and Democracy', and sometimes he shouts 'I...'
