Yan Ning, the goddess of scientific research, was furious: **The article is forcibly cited, so I simply won't post it!
The goddess of scientific research"Yan Ning is going crazy: If"Forced"If I quote, I won't post the work.
With the rapid development of China's economy, the level of scientific research is also gradually improving, which is inseparable from the hard work of scientific researchers. The state has always attached great importance to optimizing the conditions and environment for scientific research and creating a better atmosphere for scientific research, but some rigid scientific research systems will restrict the performance of scientists. Not so long ago, there was"The goddess of scientific research"Yan Ning, known as it, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the current system of publishing articles on Weibo:"Mandatory"Citing her own article, she said she would rather not publish it!
When it comes to scientific research in China, people first think of Tu Youyou, who has made outstanding contributions to China's scientific research, followed by both wisdom and beauty"The goddess of scientific research"Yan Ning. She is currently focusing on transmembrane transporters and has made important discoveries.
Yan Ning has always been keen on scientific research, and in order to have more time and energy to devote to scientific research, she once turned down a high-paying offer from a pharmaceutical company. Her work documents the process and results of scientific research and is a source of inspiration for her colleagues. However, she is now interested in publishing **"Forced citations"The request was outraged, even saying that she would rather not publish ** than be forced to cite her own work. What the hell is going on?
An important sense of personal fulfillment has been gained since childhood.
Born in 1977, Yan Ning is different from other children and has shown intelligence and self-discipline from an early age. Her parents are ordinary office workers in Zhangqiu, Shandong, who do not interfere too much with their children's growth and have a relatively enlightened education method.
After her parents went to Beijing to work, Yan Ning also moved to Beijing with her parents. Although her parents were busy in Beijing and didn't have time to take care of Yan Ning, she didn't become one"Wild children", but to study hard, to cultivate a variety of hobbies. Yan Ning is an attentive child, and she spends all her time listening to comments, reading stories, and solving problems.
At the age of 19, Yan Ning was successfully admitted to the Department of Biology of Tsinghua University and became an outstanding student representative of the department. During her college years, she not only excelled in her studies, but also attracted the attention of Rao Zihe, a structural biologist at Tsinghua University, and officially started her scientific research path.
As an outstanding student representative of the Department of Biology, Yan Ning was favored by Novo Nordisk China before she graduated, hoping to hire her with a high salary. However, Yan Ning refused. For her, the working environment in a pharmaceutical company was not the best place for her to grow up, and she wanted to thrive in a more pure research environment.
After graduating, Yan Ning became one of the first students to enter the Department of Biology at Princeton University for graduate studies, and under the guidance of Professor Shi Yigong, she completed the PhD program, which normally takes seven years, in just four years, and then began postdoctoral research.
In 2007, Yan Ning returned to her alma mater, Tsinghua University, and set up her own laboratory. In the following ten years, she successfully solved one biological research problem after another, and was eventually promoted to professor and doctoral supervisor of Tsinghua University.
Yan Ning's scientific research achievements are remarkable, and his academic achievements and personal honors are numerous. Her laboratory has attracted wide attention from the international biology community, and she has been invited to cooperate with biological research laboratories in many colleges and universities, and was even hired as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a time. However, the well-known researcher has publicly criticized the publication of **"Forced citations"Professor Yan Ning's comments are thought-provoking and well-founded.
Publishing an academic article requires a rigorous series of steps, including careful writing, presentation, and review. The review process is usually done by experts inside and outside the peer, which is a kind of respect for academic research and academic communication among peers. Sometimes, the review process can trigger more academic collisions and promote academic progress, but there are also some cases where reviewers are too rigid and become an obstacle to the publication of the article.
Recently, Professor Yan Ning encountered an incident that made her feel"Speechless"things. One of her academic ** was rejected because it did not cite someone else's work, and she was asked to revise it. Some ordinary people may choose to accept this request unconditionally, because many people ask others for their ideas or research results.
However, Yan Ning is extremely rigorous in academic research, unwilling to add the so-called bibliography to ** against his will, and deliberately avoids citing the views and achievements of others.
Yan Ning said that even if his own articles cannot be published, he must expose why these people's articles are not worth citing. This practice is supported by many people, because if this dishonest behavior is not curbed, pure scientific research will cease to exist.
The story reflects some of the stereotypes that exist in academic review, as well as the negative effects that can come with overemphasizing citations. Yan Ning's persistence has also triggered reflection and discussion on the purity of academic research.
