A few days ago, a friend recommended a doctoral student a from one of the top ten universities in the world. I hope I can help recommend a to work in my university. To be honest, a has a very good personal experience. He graduated from a 985 university with a master's degree. He is a world famous university in this field. Now he is studying for a doctorate in the top ten universities in the world. It is worth mentioning that he also has working experience in enterprises. After I heard about his experience, I immediately agreed to help recommend, and hope a will send my resume to my email.

As a happened to be back on vacation, he said he would come directly to my office to have an interview with me. Last week, I invited him to the office for communication. It is a great pleasure to recommend excellent talents to the school. However, when I saw his resume, I suddenly felt that there were many difficulties. Now my university is vigorously attracting all kinds of personnel to work in the University, but they have an "academic red line". If you apply for the post of Professor, how many "points" must the academic performance of the staff reach? If you apply for the post of associate professor, how many "points" must the staff reach? If you apply for the post of lecturer, it is the lowest threshold. In addition, they have a clear "integral" standard. Unfortunately, according to a's academic achievements in the past five years, it has not been able to reach the minimum threshold for the position of lecturer. Although I know that it is very difficult for him to publish academic papers in his field, especially in journals with high impact factors, the university has formulated the basic policy of talent introduction, and I can only help him.

Of course, I still gave him some suggestions, such as quickly throwing out the papers that have been written, and then striving to contribute to the journals with higher "impact factor", so that he may have met the requirements of the University by the time he graduated from doctor's degree. In addition, I know a lot of details in the process of chatting with him. The fact that he has so few papers is more or less related to his current tutor being an international Daniel. His tutor is Daniel, and his academic papers have exceeded hundreds. However, as he grows older, he doesn't think much about academic papers any more. In addition, he keeps the "traditional habit" and hopes to contribute to the journals he has been contributing to, but doesn't care about "impact factors" and other things. Therefore, his doctoral students also published their papers in these journals.

Coincidentally, similar to his situation, he still has a friend B. B has graduated from a doctor's degree and plans to return to China for development. Although his experience is different from that of a, he is still waiting for the paper to be published. B's research direction is relatively cutting-edge, and it can be published in journals with very high impact factors. As a result, when he was a doctor, he focused on the "top" journals. If his papers had been accepted and published by the top journals at that time, his road would have been very smooth, but those journals were not easy. I remember that B wrote a paper and first submitted it to nature materials. After a few days in the editor's hand, he was directly based on the paper. Then he submitted the paper to nature communications. After another few days, he was shot. Later, he contributed to nano letters and was shot. Several rounds down, time has passed for several months, but the paper is still not able to throw out. Of course, since B and I are friends, I suggest that we first submit the papers to the journals that can be published smoothly, and then pursue the journals with high impact factors. Otherwise, the requirements of domestic universities are higher and higher year by year after doctoral graduation. When his papers are published, the policies of the university may change again, and may not be able to meet the minimum requirements at that time Come on, it may not be worth the loss. In addition, it is worth mentioning that B has written some papers, but he is not so lucky. Now he has not been able to publish them, and domestic policies must have been published. Therefore, in a few days, maybe there will be good news.

Nowadays, the "tutors" of the older generation still stick to the traditional territory. They are proud to publish their papers in those traditional journals. They want to maintain a pure land. However, for the younger generation of "mentors", perhaps in line with the historical trend, many people are proud to publish their papers in high impact factor journals. They all want to make a "blockbuster" achievement and suddenly become the top experts in the academic circle. There is another kind of tutor, who does not care about whether doctoral students write academic papers at all, but only cares about whether they help them with their projects and whether they can successfully complete all kinds of progress reports. However, the teaching posts offered by universities at home and abroad are becoming less and more demanding year by year. They will not consider the "proclivities" of their tutors.

Maybe it's their own business for doctoral students to write academic papers. In western countries, there are not many requirements for doctoral dissertation, but when they go back to China to find a job, they are in trouble. I remember that Mr. Wang Dehua said on science net two days ago that "paper is hard currency"

Of course, some friends say that the world's top ten University doctoral degree itself is not a proof of strength?
