"A paper, huh?"
In the office, upon hearing Tian Liangwei's inquiry, a rare hint of hesitation appeared on Xu Yun's face.
After a brief silence, he finally decided to speak the truth:
"Professor, if there's an opportunity, I'd like to publish in a Q1 journal."
"Q1, huh..."
Tian Liangwei tapped his forefinger rhythmically on the desk, not particularly surprised, and pondered:
"Xiaoxu, you should know that Imidacloprid, as a neonicotinoid insecticide, has its own substance name, although its patent already expired in 2011.
So if you want to publish a paper in a Q1 journal, the fourth generation is definitely not enough; the fifth generation is the basic requirement. Is that okay?"
Xu Yun lightly nodded, indicating his understanding.
When it comes to papers, most people immediately think of SCI and Nature.
But actually, the former and the latter are not concepts of the same category.
