For a scholar, rejection is not uncommon.

No matter how famous or what achievements have been made in the past, if the journals are not selected correctly, or the achievements fail to meet the standards for publication, the contributions may be returned at a certain stage of review.

However, not everyone has the chance to meet the papers that have been published.

And not to discuss the water journal that has been broken, and those articles that are still in line, for the papers that have been printed, each withdrawal is a blow to the credibility of the journal, because it is equivalent to publicly admitting that there are major and irreparable errors in the published papers.

Therefore, generally speaking, unless there is extremely serious academic fraud or other things damaging the reputation of scholars, journals are very cautious about withdrawing published papers.

Even though the whole academic circle had already determined that her experiment result was p-map-p, it was still the Japanese Institute of science and chemistry that came out under the pressure. After Bao Fang obtained the written consent about withdrawing STAP cell paper, he let nature withdraw that article A controversial manuscript.

Although there is no horizontal comparison between the business of biology and the field of integrated circuit design, IEEE's sudden withdrawal from the report has ended, which is quite unusual indeed.

In a word, after being rejected for the first time in his life, this time he even arranged to withdraw the manuscript. Lu Zhou felt that his academic career probably had no regrets.

However, this is the first time that he has contributed to IEEE's journals, which are inclined to the fields of engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and his professional field is still far from satisfactory. Although there was an invitation email from the top of the field of electrical engineering in the past, hoping that he could publish a paper on controllable fusion technology, considering that there are many things involved in this technology after all, he finally politely refused.

I didn't expect my name to be turned back at the IEEE Summit for the first time, but also for the absurd reasons of "academic fraud" and "falsification of experimental data".

After seeing the written notice of withdrawal sent by IEEE, Lu Zhou was also unable to help feeling.

Conscience of heaven and earth, is he the kind of person who will joke on the experimental data?

He is not clear about the influence of this International Conference on IC design and process in the industry. What he regrets is not that it's such a sad reason, but that over the years, he is more and more aware that academic purity and justice are more and more like a piece of paper to wipe his butt.

When the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in an arms race, they would not have been like this

"I heard that you were withdrawn?"

Sitting on the sofa of the dean's office of the Institute of higher learning, Chen Yushan said it with a kind of narrow smile on her face.

Seeing her Schadenfreude, Lu Zhou sighed and made a helpless expression, saying, "I've been removed from the manuscript. Is it so happy?"

"What are you talking about? How can I gloat? It's just that it's hard to see you shriveled. It's a bit unexpected. "

Lu Zhou made fun of himself and said, "it's hard to talk about being flat. It's just that he missed his face on IEEE and was chased back by others."

Chen Yushan: "did they ask you to revise the paper or something?"

"There was a euphemism in the withdrawal notice, which asked me to modify the experimental data that seemed to be" exaggerated ". But they didn't say where the exaggeration was. I'm even sure they didn't repeat the experiment because there was no such condition. "

Chen Yushan asked curiously, "are you going to change that?"

"Change?" Hearing this question, Lu Zhou smiled lightly and said indifferently, "what is the right thing to change?"

It's another matter to revise the obvious or easily misunderstood mistakes according to the reviewer's opinions. This kind of ambiguous or even false accusation, to tell the truth, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Looking at the expression on Lu Zhou's face, Chen Yushan bent her mouth.

"It's worthy of learning hegemony. This sentence has your style."

"What does this have to do with learning hegemony?" Lu Zhou said with a smile

"Why doesn't it matter? Don't you think that in the past, when we were reading, those who dared to talk back to the teacher on the standard answer were all learning bullies? If you are a student, the teacher says he is wrong. I'm afraid he will admit it. "

"Where and where is all this?" Listen to this wonderful metaphor, Lu zhousighed and said, "and you are exaggerating to compare IEEE with being a teacher. They are not qualified enough."

"It's just a metaphor. It's all to do with me," said Chen Yushan, turning her eyes around. Suddenly, an idea came out of her head and she said, "have you ever thought about starting a journal?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "before leaving yesterday, Mr. Hua Wei and I talked about this issue."

In fact, it wasn't just Warwick's boss who said this to him, but his old friends in the domestic academic circle talked about it with him when chatting, but he didn't pay much attention to the trouble.After all, in his opinion, where the paper is submitted is secondary, and the important thing is the paper itself. An outstanding research achievement, even if it is hung on arXiv, will certainly attract people's attention.

Only those research results that are not particularly important or even dispensable need to reflect their own value through the authority of the journal itself.

But for now, his ideas may be too idealistic.

Although journals are only platforms for publishing academic achievements, it's true that using other people's microphones to speak is somewhat constrained. Even under normal circumstances, these constraints are not reflected, and ordinary people can't pull out the power of the microphone and remove the speaker from the stage, which are disgusting and substandard. But it's obvious that IEEE has broken through the bottom line.

Maybe, I should think about it and start an academic journal to play by myself.

"Wang Zhengfei told you about it?" He took an unexpected look at Lu Zhou, and Chen Yushan asked curiously, "what did he say?"

Lu Zhou thought about it and said: "he said that after all, carbon based chips are what we have made. It's not appropriate to give them to others for review. At present, there are not no research institutes in the field of carbon based integrated circuits in the world, but most of the research institutions and scholars still stay at the theoretical level. It's hard to ask their opinions. "

She nodded thoughtfully, and Chen Yushan said, "I think so too What do you mean? "

"I think he has a point."

After a pause, Lu Zhou smiled a little and continued, "I'll go back and think about it carefully. We have been established for so long, and we don't even have a journal. It seems that we don't have a brand."

"I intend to establish a comprehensive discipline journal in the name of the Institute of higher learning Of course, even if it's not from our Institute of higher learning, we can contribute, but we have to focus on our own hands in auditing. "

Chen Yushan: "can I help you?"

"That's for sure. I don't understand these things. I can be the editor in chief for the time being, but I have to ask you to set up a journal."

Hearing the words "please Lu Zhou", Chen Yushan can't help bending her mouth.

"I'll take care of the small things."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered a very important thing and asked.

"By the way, what's your name for this journal?"

It took about five minutes to think about it, the boat raised its head and said.

"Just call..."

"The future is ready."
