Doing Research and Publishing Like Crazy

Recently, something unbelievable has happened in academia.

The Shen Qi Research Center published nearly 100 papers in a month, averaging three papers per day!

The following are excerpts from some representative papers:

"A Novel Rearrangement Reaction," first author He Lin, second author Cao Fan, corresponding author Shen Qi, published in the *Journal of the Journal of the American Chemical Society *, whose latest impact factor is 15.872.

"Kinetic Study of Compounds Based on a Novel Rearrangement Reaction," first author Shen Qi, second author Zhang Weiran, third author Xia Longxin, corresponding author Xiao Ming, published in * German Applied Chemistry *, with a latest impact factor of 11.903.

"Improvements in the Synthesis Process of Kang Shun," first author Yan Jun, second author Shen Qi, corresponding author the Lancet Cheng Haonan, published in The Lancet, whose latest impact factor is 33.726.

"A Brief Overview of Development Directions for Macrocyclic Compounds," authored by only one person, Shen Qi, was published in Nature, a journal with a recent impact factor of 42.168.

"A Novel Application of Relaxation Method in Bicontinuous Membrane," first author Tang Yuan, second author Shen Jinbao, corresponding author Shen Qi, published in Physical Review Letters, with a latest impact factor of 7.672.

"Research and Application of Novel Metallic Plastic", first author Cheng Xi, second author Ma Wenbo, third author Shen Qi, corresponding author Liu Ye, published in "Today's Physics", the latest impact factor of which is 6.332.

The article, "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox," has only one author, Shen Qi, and was published in Science, a journal with a latest impact factor of 31.781. This issue of Science contains only one article, Shen Qi's "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox," and is considered a personal special issue.

"Recent Research on Finite or Infinitely Many Positive Solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations," first author Zhou Yu'an, second author Wang Ruiming, corresponding author Shen Qi, published in the * Journal of Mathematics *, whose latest impact factor is 3.476.

"Algorithmic Problems in Algebraic Geometry," first author Li Zhenqiang, second author Shen Qi, corresponding author Hu Bo, published in the * Annals of Mathematics *, whose latest impact factor is 4.011.

A research project corresponds to a single paper.

The Shen Qi Research Center published nearly 100 papers in one month, which means that their center solved nearly 100 research projects in one month?

Of course, a research project can also be broken down into several papers.

Even considering the need to distribute research papers, Shen Qi Research Center has still managed to complete dozens of research projects in the past month.

This is absolutely astonishing!

Is Shen Qi Research Center also known as Shen Qi Paper Wholesale Center?

Shen Qi's name appears in the author list of nearly a hundred papers.

Shen Qi alternated between first author, second author, third author, and corresponding author.

You can understand this as Shen Qi writing or co-writing articles and publishing nearly a hundred papers within a month.

These nearly one hundred papers were almost all published in internationally renowned academic journals.

Friends in the academic community have studied this shocking news.

A paper cannot be written today and published tomorrow.

Working on projects and writing papers takes at least several months.

Journals also have a certain review period for papers.

How did Shen Qi manage to publish over ninety papers in major journals across mathematics, physics, chemistry, and medicine within a single month?

A reporter asked, "Academician Shen Qi published 98 papers in one month, all of them in top journals like Nature, Science, PRL, and * Annals of Mathematics *. This news became the number one trending topic. Academician Shen, could you explain how you did it?"

Shen Qi explained, "The research projects involved in these ninety-odd papers started as early as three years ago and as late as January of this year. The fact that these papers were published in relevant journals within a month is purely coincidental. Everyone knows that the journal review process is beyond our control. For example, the mathematical article 'Algorithmic Problems in Algebraic Geometry' was submitted to the 'Annals of Mathematics' a year and a half ago, while the chemical article 'A Novel Rearrangement Reaction' was submitted to the 'Journal of the American Chemical Society' last month. Some journals have slow review processes, such as most mathematics journals, while others have faster reviews. So, as I said before, it's purely coincidental."

"I want to emphasize that the relatively concentrated publication time of these papers is a coincidence, but the achievements of the research projects involved in these papers are not. I am grateful for the efforts of the researchers in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other fields at our center. 'One minute on stage requires ten years of hard work off stage.' A single paper can be dozens or even hundreds of pages long, or as few as a few pages. Completing a paper requires a tremendous amount of effort."

Reporter: "Academician Shen, you once said that your favorite mathematicians are Euler and Gauss. Euler is the most prolific person in the history of science, having published 886 papers or books in his lifetime. We have compiled statistics for Academician Shen, and your current number of publications is already approaching Euler's. Have you ever thought that one day you would become the person with the most published academic articles in the history of science?"

Shen Qi: "Maybe."

There are many ways for researchers to demonstrate their value, and publishing papers is the most direct and mainstream one.

There is a rumor that, in order to make Shen Qi the scientist with the highest number of new publications in scientific history, all the scholars at Shen Qi Research Center participated in this project, which led to the sensational event of "Shen Qi publishing 98 papers in one month".

The benefits that a paper, especially one published in a top-tier journal, brings to its author are self-evident.

In academia, there are numerous cases of disputes, arguments, and even physical fights over authorship rights in academic papers.

Some students were quite resentful, saying, "I did the research, I wrote the paper, so why should my supervisor be listed as the first author? Why should the intellectual property belong to my supervisor?"

This phenomenon does not exist at the Shen Qi Research Center. Of the 98 articles that bear Shen Qi's Shen Qi, he is not the first author in most of them.

The first author is the person who does the most specific and core work in a scientific project. Many research institutions have explicit regulations on how many papers applicants or employees must publish as the first author in journals of a certain level when recruiting or evaluating professional titles.

Second author, third author, and Nth author all contributed to a project to a certain extent.

The corresponding author is the coordinator of a project, responsible for overall macro-level control.

There have been doubts from the outside world, but let's not get off topic. Just look at the numerous research projects involved in these 98 papers. Did Academician Shen personally participate in every single one of them?

Shen Qi's reply was, "Nonsense, I don't participate in research projects, why should my name be on the paper? You're quite an interesting reporter, are you questioning my professional ethics?"

Security guards, take this troublemaking reporter away and lock him up!

That's impossible.

Getting back to the main point, the 98 papers involved 42 research projects.

These 42 research projects cover fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, and even Environmental Science.

Some of the research findings reported in these papers have very high academic value and innovation, attracting great attention from the academic community both at home and abroad.

Domestic and international academic organizations have applied to study and exchange ideas at the Shen Qi Research Center.

Shen Qi smiled slightly, sitting in the center to welcome guests from all directions.
