Chapter 790 - 313: That Was My Path Here, the Fearsome Thesis Maniac, and the Principal’s Mailbox Explosion!
"Madam Teacher... about this, Old Shen is setting up another seminar for me tomorrow."
Three SCI papers in the first quartile.
How long has it been, really? From September till now it’s only December 19th.
One paper a month, effectively.
High output doesn’t mean you have to play it this way.
It feels like this is never-ending.
"Why do you sound so unwilling? Let me tell you, these papers are crucial for your future academic promotions, establishing yourself in academia, and even becoming a key player. You don’t know how many people envy you to the point their eyes are turning green. You are born in this era; if it were our time, holding two first-quartile SCI papers and two second-quartile papers, you could practically bulldoze your way to associate professor status, and department heads would have to make way for you."
Huang Xiangning said with some irritation.
In her time, if a PhD student held one first-quartile paper, they could smoothly graduate and apply for the national excellent doctoral thesis award, and guaranteed they could apply to the provincial level.
The second option was to stay at the school, applying for the Youth Fund would be no problem, and with a strong mentor, they could apply for general projects with a high chance of success, and if successfully funded and stayed at the school, associate professor status wouldn’t be an issue.
Some institutions rewarded based on points, allowing one to make a bit of money, at least tens of thousands.
Overall, the future medical career path was very likely to be smooth, and the expectations from the hospital would be quite high.
As for why she knows this.
Because it was the path she took.
And back then she was pursuing a PhD, and in clinical medicine no less!
Now Xiaochuan is just pursuing a master’s degree, studying clinical veterinary medicine.
Honestly, Huang Xiangning felt a bit ashamed.
In those days, she even appeared in newspapers, on the front page, hailed as a medical prodigy, publishing top journal papers during her doctoral period.
Compared to Xiaochuan, how can she claim the title of a genius?
The gap is wide.
After all, during the master’s, crossing disciplines with two first-quartile papers and two second, and now about to write the third first-quartile paper, she can guarantee if Xiaochuan writes this, it’ll have a 99% chance to publish in emergency medicine.
School leadership told her directly back then.
If you can produce one more top journal paper, you can practically bulldoze your way to associate professor status.
Two years later, with experience, you can directly become deputy head of your department.
It’s just the current regulations are more complex.
And the times have changed compared to their era.
But one thing remains unchanged, top academic papers can smoothen the future path.
Such as Xiaochuan now not needing to prepare complicated materials.
His research achievements already pave the way to a PhD.
As for pursuing a PhD, there are virtually no hurdles; the provincial hospital is finalizing a joint training plan, and it’ll be just a matter of a simple interview process.
Whoever disagrees, present two first-quartile papers, one of which is one of the four major international medical journals reprint, and two second-quartile papers, they will also open a special channel.
"Madam Teacher, seeing how you put it, had I been born in your era, maybe I wouldn’t have been able to publish any papers because there wouldn’t be anyone to help check them."
Zhang Lingchuan replied.
This isn’t flattery; he’s expressing his genuine thoughts.
The reason he’s able to publish so many papers certainly has his own factors, such as innovation in emergency methods, leading to unexpected results.
But more importantly, Madam Teacher instructed Dr. Fang to review them for him, after Dr. Fang reviewed, he modified them, and after modification, sent them back to Madam Teacher for advice, then with her suggestions and modifications, ultimately reaching top journal publication standards.
Of course, Madam Teacher herself is also an editorial board member.
So he effectively got onto the fast track.
"You haven’t learned much, just learned to be as glib as your teacher! Alright, alright, remember to write the paper; I won’t interfere with your seminar tomorrow. As long as the paper is finished before the New Year, it’s fine. If you don’t understand, first ask Dr. Fang, then send it to me for help with modifications."
Huang Xiangning said in slightly irritated yet cheerful manner.
Though she appeared a bit annoyed, she was actually quite delighted.
After all, who doesn’t like hearing flattering words?
But she must have a word with Old Shen later; someone as genuine as Xiaochuan has been influenced negatively by him.
Looking back.
Don’t be fooled by how Old Shen appears honest now; when he was young, what a smooth talker he was.
Tricked the young Miss she was into an absolute daze, bewildered and handed herself over to him.
Agricultural Department.
"A-choo—"
Old Shen, who had just returned from a meeting, entered his office and sneezed heavily after sitting for a while.
"The room is quite warm, so why sneeze for no reason?"
Old Shen rubbed his nose.
He then opened his thermos and drank some water.
Speaking of which, he wondered how Xiaochuan was preparing.
After drinking water, Shen Changming took out his phone.
Preparing to call Zhang Lingchuan, as tomorrow’s seminar was highly anticipated by the leadership.
Moreover, the students were extremely enthusiastic.
Even the school principal said it was rare to see the students so eager, with a total of 1,900 slots reserved on the school’s website, all snatched up in less than a minute.
Additionally, many off-campus students left messages in the principal’s mailbox, asking why they couldn’t attend the seminar.
It’s not just students from other schools.
A lot of students on-campus who couldn’t get slots also left messages hoping for more slots.
But.
It’s definitely impossible to add slots.
After all, Mingfang Palace is only so big.
And now in the middle of winter, it’s unlikely to hold seminars out on a snowy field.
