Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 179: Much Faster Than Expected
This is an email from across the ocean.
The sender is the editor of the Journal of Functional Analysis.
The content of the email basically told him that the manuscript had passed the review and their journal had decided to accept the manuscript!
Looking at these contents, Chen Zhou was slightly stunned. It was passed already?
Then he opened the browser, entered the official website address of "Journal of Function Analysis", and then logged in with his account.
Wait until the webpage is refreshed and the status of the paper submission is displayed.
It was [Completed Accept]!
This status is consistent with the content of the email Chen Zhou received, both of which mean that the editor is very satisfied with the author's submission and has decided to accept the manuscript.
This is the final status after the paper is submitted.
But to Chen Zhou's surprise, he actually skipped the revision stage of the paper and just published it...
Generally speaking, paper revision is the second most time-consuming stage in the submission phase.
The peer review phase ends with the [Under Review] status and ends with the [Required Reviews Complete] status.
That is, the reviewer has completed the review and has sent the review opinions back to the editorial office, waiting for the editor's next decision.
At this time, the editor will make a decision on the paper based on the review comments and his personal opinions.
Subsequently, a notification will be sent to the author of the paper, requiring the author to revise the paper based on the review comments, as well as the corresponding revision deadline.
This modification period may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
Of course, the most important thing is the author's own revision speed.
If the opinions are more picky or obviously difficult to modify, the modification time will be longer.
The submission status at this time becomes [Revise], which means paper revision.
When the paper revision is completed, the author returns the revised paper and the list of revisions including the review comments.
It is another process of waiting for the editor to review the paper to see whether the editor is satisfied with the revisions to the paper. The final decision will be [Completed Reject] or [Completed Accept], that is, whether to reject or accept the paper.
This whole process is actually the modification stage.
Moreover, those who can directly skip the modification process are generally big names in various fields.
Even some scholars and professors who have submitted papers many times will inevitably be asked to revise their papers due to various problems.
Some even had their manuscripts returned and had to be revised many times.
These paper authors who have revised their papers repeatedly will often see the submission status of the paper switching back and forth between [Revise] and [Revised Manuscript Submitted].
That is, it is repeated continuously between "paper revision" and "revised manuscript has been submitted".
Therefore, as a newcomer who was writing independently for the first time, Chen Zhou was very surprised and delighted that he could pass the manuscript in one go without any need for revision in the entire paper.
What's more, Chen Zhou didn't expect that the peer review time would end so quickly.
This is the first stage of delay...
Chen Zhou remembered that when his paper was accepted by the editor and he was emailed to fill in the relevant information, there were only a few days left before the Qiu competition.
Chen Zhou opened the calendar on his computer and took a look. It had only been about a month since he successfully submitted his paper on "Clifford Analysis".
It will come much faster than expected.
"Is it really because I'm too good?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself.
He remembered that Shen Jingcai had told him two days ago that Wu Xiping's previous research paper on that topic was already in the revision stage and it would probably be published soon.
At that time, Chen Zhou asked in confusion, why did it take so long?
He remembered that the day he decided that Clifford would analyze the topic, the paper went into peer review.
As a result, half a year has passed, and we are only just beginning to make revisions...
This is also the reason why Chen Zhou believes that peer review is the first delay.
Therefore, Chen Zhou estimated that this independently written paper of his would be completed even later.
Moreover, according to the information he found.
Generally speaking, the review period for Journal of Functional Analysis is about 7.5 months on average.
Therefore, Chen Zhou no longer thought about this matter. He planned to wait patiently for the email with the modification notification.
As a result, the surprise came so quickly.
I didn't receive the email about the revision notification, but I did receive the email saying that the paper was accepted and waiting for publication.
Chen Zhou took a screenshot and sent it to Senior Shen Jing. He also typed a message: "I was not asked to modify my version. I got this directly..."
Not long after, Shen Jing replied with a thumbs-up emoji and then "F*ck! Awesome, can you please stop showing off like that?"
Chen Zhou smiled slightly. He also felt that he had done really well this time.
Chen Zhou was in a good mood. This was a rare moment of leisure since he had started studying the hail hypothesis.
He was typing away and chatting with Shen Jing.
Yang Yiyi beside Chen Zhou looked at him strangely. This guy was actually chatting with someone in the library through messaging for the first time...
He shifted his gaze from Chen Zhou to the computer screen in front of Chen Zhou.
Looking at the content above, Yang Yiyi was stunned.
Exactly the same reaction and the same thoughts as Chen Zhou.
Isn't it already a month since the submission?
Didn’t Chen Zhou say that he received an email saying that his paper had been accepted by the editor?
Shouldn’t there be revisions to the paper?
Why is this going to be published?
There were some question marks in Yang Yiyi's head.
Chen Zhou replied to another message before noticing that the girl next to him was staring at him.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at Yang Yiyi, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Yang Yiyi pointed at the computer in front of Chen Zhou and asked, "Has your paper been accepted?"
Chen Zhou nodded gently: "Well, this status should have been changed today."
Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou, a little surprised and a little happy.
Even though she always believed in Chen Zhou's ability, she didn't expect that Chen Zhou's first submission would be accepted without even making any revisions.
Looking at Yang Yiyi's expression, Chen Zhou easily guessed what she was thinking.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou chuckled and said to Yang Yiyi, "Little girl, I see that you are amazing and intelligent, and we are destined to be together. How about this, I have a secret recipe for passing the paper in one go, not 998, not 98, but only 99 cents, would you like to consider it?"
Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Yang Yiyi couldn't help laughing.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, worried about disturbing other people in the library.
Finally, Yang Yiyi stopped laughing and said softly, "Did you really submit to an SCI journal?"
Chen Zhou replied affirmatively: "Of course. Uh... although the impact factor is relatively low, aren't the impact factors of mathematical journals all low..."
Yang Yiyi said sincerely: "Awesome!"
Chen Zhou chuckled . The compliment from Yang Yiyi was much more satisfying than what he got from chatting with Shen Jing.
After a pause, Chen Zhou asked, "99 cents, are you really not considering it?"
