What caused "Science" to reject the manuscript? Lu Qiujian frowned. If he just wanted to publish this paper, relying on the reputation he gained from the previous papers, "Mathematics Annual" would definitely not reject his manuscript.

However, if he wants to return to China to develop in the future, then "Science" can increase his capital. After all, for China, these three journals are completely different from other journals, and publishing articles here is easy to make a sense of existence among scientists in other fields, which is of great benefit to future actions.

Of course, when deciding to submit, he was not unconsidered. Because "Science" is a comprehensive journal for interdisciplinary readers, the page is limited, too long, too professional, and difficult to be understood by interprofessional people. Those who have not made large-scale contributions to the development of science and technology will be rejected. On the contrary, those articles that are common in biology or experimental physics are easily published because the threshold for interprofessional reading is low.

Lu Qiujian's paper on the Poincaré conjecture happened to occupy too long and too professional, and it is difficult to be understood by cross-professional people. He has not yet made extensive contributions to the development of science and technology. It is not that his achievements are not great, but it is just inappropriate.

But even if the full text cannot be published, at least you can report it to a news column? Lu Qiujian shook his head depressedly and pulled his mouse to start browsing the full text of the email. The email reader believed that the reviewer still had some obvious loopholes in these two papers, so he would not pass the review. It is recommended to revise it before publishing it.

Ah! It turns out that it is similar to what I thought! The paper completed based on Professor Thurston's opinion does have such problems, but now it has not written out the details for dozens of pages, and if it is written out, it will probably cost hundreds of pages! In this way, "Science" will be even more unlikely to be published!

Haha, this is because my reputation is not enough. If I could reach Einstein's position back then, it would be fine to turn "Science" into my own special issue?

If you can't pass the submission, go find someone else to help! If there are scholars like Thurston, Goles, and Wiles who are well-known and have a high academic status, probably "Science" will reconsider the review results?

Lu Qiujian changed his clothes and walked out to the office building of the Department of Mathematics. His first stop was where Professor Thurston. After all, he had read his own articles and had in-depth research on the Poincaré conjecture. It also had a relationship within "Science". He could at least find out the real reason why his thesis was rejected.

"Are you rejected?" Professor Thurston was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then smiled indifferently, "That's their loss, not yours! Since you have returned, you should forward it to the Mathematics Annual. I believe they will publish your articles in the shortest time and in the best page!"

The papers in "Science" and "nature" are generally novel, eye-catching and popular, but not very profound and rigorous. Moreover, the mathematical papers that show proof through technical details are incompatible with their overall style. Therefore, the mathematics community does not attach great importance to these journals, but believes in the four major journals in its circle.

Thurston's words were correct, but Lu Qiujian was unwilling to admit it. He begged, "Sir, can you help me find out who rejected my manuscript? What is the real reason for the rejection?" If it is because I have not understood the reason for my thesis, I may be able to explain it through the relationship between several professors.

"Okay, I'll call a few times to ask!" Thurston picked up his cell phone. She was an insider. After a few phone calls, she figured out the rough idea. "I asked, the editorial board passed the preliminary review, and then sent your paper to Professor Forsman of Harvard University and Professor Ferrig of Yale. Professor Forsman said that in a short period of time, no fatal flaws were found in the paper, but the specific process needs to be studied, and it can be published or wait; Professor Ferrig did not pass the review because of the reason why the derivation process of many details was not listed!"

"Damn it! What's the reason!" Professor Thurston cursed before Lu Qiujian could speak, "All the groundbreaking work is already in the paper, and the rest are some hard work! Any research institute can complete it by a year or two! Is Ferrig's brain broken?"

"You have a bad relationship with him?" Lu Qiujian heard some other scent from his tone. Maybe he would be in trouble with his plan to contact the reviewer through his help!

"This is a hypocritical guy, he only knows how to fool the layman with some unfathomable terms!" Thurston's evaluation of him was indeed not high, "but he still has something to do with science. If he rejected your paper, no one else would stand up for you."

I understand, you are not as good as you do in society! Lu Qiujian heard the implicit meaning in his words. Could it be that he could only continue to publish in the "Mathematics Annual"?

Seeing Lu Qiujian's depressed expression, Thurston was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Don't rush to submit articles to other publications first. I'll go and think of a solution for you!"

Lu Qiujian thought about it and rejected Professor Thurston's kindness. The guy opposite him looked like someone who didn't like to deal with those people. Why should he force him? Alas, just invest in the "Mathematics Annual" issue. In the future, I will not be unable to make other papers qualified to be included in "Science".

After explaining the situation, Thurston also expressed his support for his decision, "Yes, it should have been like this long ago. We just need to share the matters in the mathematics world by ourselves, so why force them to agree with it?" This is a big meaning for us to play our own things and not take them to play.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. Since I decided to publish the "Mathematics Annual" magazine, then my paper can be longer." Lu Qiujian said goodbye and left.

Alas, it's still a pity! Although the authority of the Mathematics Annual is higher than that of Science in the mathematics community, Lu Qiujian doesn't want his reputation to be spread only in the small circles of the mathematics community; forget it, after the paper is published, you can at least make a lot of news on "Science"! It's better than nothing.

Professor Thurston has not taken this matter seriously since Lu Qiujian left, and no longer asked about the relationship between "Science" to inquire about it, but instead focused on continuing to carry out his own research.

A week later, just as he finished teaching for two classes and returned to the computer, he received a new email.
