Throne of Magical Arcana

After glancing at Lucien, Eric continued to read the content behind the audit results: "Mr. Jeffrey ’s evaluation is: 'fascinating experimental design, rigorous exploration and construction of magic. Although limited to its own knowledge and ability There are still many flaws in the magic of its construction, but this paper does not show how good this apprentice-level magic is, but that high-frequency sound waves can still be used in this way, and can also be used as a positioning and exploration tool. This lets us There is a new direction in the study of sonic waves. This is a thesis with groundbreaking contributions. '

'However, due to the simplicity of its discussion, there is no in-depth exploration of the bat's organ structure and positioning principle, and the lack of predictable subsequent development of this principle, the importance of this paper is not enough.Of course, as a magician without an official arcane level, he has done a very good job.At the same time, this paper also shows that ordinary creatures also have magical abilities. It is also worth studying and exploring. They should not be limited to their intuitive and visible running, jumping, agility, color change, strength, etc., but should be Observe in depth.'

'Another satisfying point is that the author's way of thinking is the true Arcanist's mode of thinking: keen observation, bold assumptions, experimental exclusion, rigorous analysis, reasonable inference and application.It is surprising that he has no arcane level.'

'In all aspects, it is recommended to reward four arcane points and four arcane points.'"

"Combined with the evaluation results of the two members of the committee, Lucien Evans 'evaluation of this paper is:' The seminal contribution, the importance is not enough, the experiment is clear and rigorous, and has the value of discussion and research, and rewards four arcane points , Five arcane points. '"

Compared with Mr. "Garfield", this "Jeffrey" is very long-winded and detailed. However, his final audit and evaluation results are still surprisingly similar to "Garfield", which clearly fully recognized Lucien The value of a paper.

At the same time, his elaboration also made Eric and Lazar roughly understand the theme of Lucien's arcane thesis and new magic.

"By studying the organs of bats, to explore the role of high-frequency sound waves in positioning and exploration? Although Evans you inherited ancient magic, this is your strength, but I also often study bats, but unfortunately I study its gliding ability. Forgetting other aspects, I really regret it. "As a second-ring magician, when trying to analyze the most important" flying technique "in the third-ring magic, Lazar observed most of the flying creatures, so With a wry smile, he complained to Lucien.

At the same time, he has no doubt that Lucien can write this arcane thesis. After all, this is the direction that ancient magicians are good at, so he sincerely embraced Lucien: "Congratulations, Evans, you are me The magician who has so many arcane points on the first day I have seen. Waiting for you to make up for the basics of arcane and magic, you will definitely get the official arcane level. "

Many high-level arcanists, even if there is no new research results, may also receive hundreds of arcane points in one day because of the previously accumulated papers, so seven arcane points a day is not terrible.

"By the way, how can bats and high-frequency sound waves, positioning, and exploration be linked?" After releasing Lucien, Lazar asked curiously, and Eric next to him also stopped reaching the iron cage. 'S hand, looking back at Lucien, wanting to hear why he was judged to have "amazing keen observation".

While Lucien weighed the language, Lazar added sarcastically: "Your paper has been reviewed, do n’t worry about our plagiarism, and if Mr. Eric can be interested, maybe he will go to 'Ordinary The Arcane Library 'queries your papers and writes new papers accordingly, allowing you to earn citations for arcane points. "

"It's actually very simple, Lazar, have you seen bats flying in the dark night or in the cave? Especially in the cave, there are so many bats in the dark, but they can fly as much as they want without hitting their companions and stone walls "" Lucian said with a smile.

In front of two people with arcane levels, this paragraph has already explained the problem very well. Eric subconsciously ignored the rich middle barren hair around him: "Some arcane research results are simple, but there is no keen. Observation, without the Arcanist asking for exploratory thinking, could not find it at all. I think I may have missed many opportunities to publish highly-rated papers without knowing it myself. "

He still has doubts about whether this arcane research paper and the new magic were completed by Lucien himself, because this is probably the unique magic invented by a magician of the ancient magic empire based on the bat. Lucien just learned After understanding its principles, it was written in the format of an existing arcane thesis, but since the magician did not jump out of the grave to testify, who would care about this?

Lazar sighed: "I consider raising various creatures in my house and carefully observing their small living habits. Maybe I will be like Lucien in the future-you can get a lot of arcane just by reviewing. Points and high ratings. Hey, Lucien, you already have seven arcane points! "

Since Lucien did not conceal, Lazar felt that he was indeed a friend worth associating, so he called Evans unrelentingly.

"Since it has been evaluated as a groundbreaking contribution in the field of sonic applications, Evans your papers will definitely be included if they are submitted to the appropriate journals. After a period of research and exploration by the arcanists who saw your papers, Subsequent citation points will be your main source of arcane level. "

"About two or three months later, their papers should be published one after another. Ha ha, if you have n’t passed our arcane assessment to earn basic arcane points within three months, you will be the first to have more than ten Arcane points without a magician of official arcanist level. "

Eric thought of such a thing, a suspicious smile squeezed out of his face, obviously obviously very interesting.

Hearing Eric ’s words, Lucien just asked about the previous topic: "My paper is limited to a small aspect of the sonic application field, and I am afraid that it will be cited very few times. Mr. Eric, you think Which journal should I choose? "

"Evens, you can clearly realize this is very good, I am also worried that you will have too much hope." Lazar said next to him.

Eric nodded: "And after your paper is cited more, the arcanist who studies this field later will gradually cite the previous paper instead of your original paper, so the citation score will slowly decline, tending to An intermittent, rare but stable state. "

"If you want to get more citations, of course, choose journals with high impact and frequently cited papers." Arcane "and" Magic "are the most famous and influential journals in the entire magic world, but They have long been monopolized by arcanists and high-level arcanists. Low-level arcanists cannot be included by them unless the paper is groundbreaking, groundbreaking, and important. Evans, you should not consider them. "

"There are forty-two remaining journals, including the journals of the eleven major factions, seven journals hosted by the branch of the Magic Council, three journals with excerpts indexed, eighteen journals in the small field, and three journals dedicated to the preliminary The comprehensive journal of the magician. As for the journals and newspapers that are hosted by several magicians and distributed in a small area, they are for self-entertainment and mutual exchange. Although there are many, they have not been approved by the review committee. Quoting won't get Arcane Points. "

Lucian listened to Eric ’s words and could n’t help but think: “The Magic Council has n’t yet launched an algorithm for journal influence? But with so few journals, it ’s not enough to calculate influence. Everyone has an intuitive Feel. "

"Journals such as" Element "and" Holm Journal "are also influential, and can be widely cited in their respective factions or within their own magic council branch, but the requirements are equally strict, and the journals of the magic council branch are mainly aimed at this The staff in the branch, Evans, the direction of your arcane thesis is too niche and not important enough, and it is directly under the headquarters of the parliament, so it is difficult to be published, and it is not worth the risk in terms of probability. " Deacon, carefully analyzed for Lucien.

Lucien nodded slightly: "Mr. Eric, do you suggest me choose a journal in a small field?"

"" Sonic "is the most authoritative journal in this field, and its influence is not high but not low. Although the" General Arcanist Monthly "is not an authority in this field, it is a comprehensive journal for middle and lower level arcanists. The strength is higher than that of "Sonic". Both have higher requirements for inclusion, and Lucien your paper has great hope and there are not small risks. "

Eric paused and said: "If you vote for the two comprehensive journals dedicated to ordinary arcanists," Arcane Research Newsletter "and" Magic Research Monthly ", I can be sure that Evans your paper will be included. But they have the least influence. "

"As for the choice, whether it is risky or safe, it all depends on Evans what you mean."

Lucian said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Eric for explaining so much."

"This is my duty as a deacon of the" Magician Management Department. "Eric is still that dead face, with a slight smile on his face." There are two or three minutes to six, Evans, you go back tonight and think about it. The paper will be voted out tomorrow to keep up with the date of issue of the journal. "

Lazar echoed the side: "I think it's best to choose" Sonic ", after all, it is the authoritative journal in this field."

"Oh, I will seriously weigh the adventure or it's safe." Lucien handed the Arcane badge to Eric and asked him to help activate it.

Eric took the arcane badge and was about to put it in an iron cage, but found that there was a white paper in it, so he took it out doubtfully and opened it curiously.

"Mr. Eric, what kind of file?" Lazar saw Eric seem a bit stunned, so he asked.

Eric took the document, turned his head to look at Lucien, and took a deep breath: "Evens, this is the letter of the contract of the" General Arcanist Monthly ". They promised that if you hand in the paper To publish them, it will definitely be included in the first fifteen articles of the journal. "

He is already a third-level arcanist, but he has never seen the appearance of an appointment letter. There are many rejection letters that cannot be published!(To be continued.
