425: Is Professor Guo also a biologist?
Guo Hao did not think for too long before choosing this name.
Originally, Guo Hao wanted to directly call it "Future", which would be more intuitive when translated into english.
But soon, Guo Hao had a change of heart.
What the heck is "Future"!
Wouldn't that just be returning to the original path, the same as magazines like "Nature" and Science?
In the end, it would still be catering to english.
And then later, would they have to open an english version?
In the end, english would become the mainstream of the journal again, while Chinese would become niche once more.
If that were the case, what would be the meaning of him starting this journal?
It would ultimately turn into Western centrism and english centrism!
Guo Hao hated this point intensely!
Therefore, Guo Hao had a change of heart and came up with this name.
"""Xinghuo"""
This was the ideal of that librarian; he felt that a single Starfire! Can start a prairie fire!
Believing that revolution is sure to win!
Guo Hao also thought this way!
Because what he was doing now was in itself a revolution against the Academic Journal Circle!
Bringing about a huge change!
His journal was a single Starfire!
Igniting the towering flames that would sweep across the prairie!
"Good name!"
Zhou Ming, who was beside him, heard Guo Hao's words and his eyes immediately lit up.
The clever Zhou Ming instantly heard the ambition contained within Guo Hao's name, and intense excitement showed in his eyes.
But Wen Yuxuan, who was beside him, frowned tightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
"This name... if placed in a purely Chinese journal, I have to say it's a good name, but Professor Guo.
What you want to do is an academic journal, an academic journal facing the entire Academic Circle of the world.
If """Xinghuo""" is translated into english, it's really a bit difficult to understand!
How about calling it Future?"
Wen Yuxuan hesitated slightly and offered his opinion to Guo Hao.
Hearing Wen Yuxuan's words, a slight smile appeared on Guo Hao's face.
"If it's called Future, then what's the difference from these english journals like "Nature" and Science? Sooner or later, it will go down the same path.
By then, it would just be one more mediocre journal in the world, with no change whatsoever to the situation of the entire Chinese journal landscape; everything would still be the same as before!"
Guo Hao's eyes were calm.
Wen Yuxuan, who was on the side, heard Guo Hao's words, and hesitation appeared in his eyes.
"But, aren't you planning to make an english version?"
"Right! Not doing it!"
Guo Hao said towards Wen Yuxuan in a straightforward manner.
"We are going to make a purely Chinese journal!
Recording purely Chinese contributions, Chinese papers!
We don't pursue citations!
But we need the results to be monumental!"
Guo Hao looked at Wen Yuxuan seriously.
Hearing Guo Hao's words, a hint of helplessness appeared in Wen Yuxuan's eyes.
"Then what do you want me to do... I can indeed do journals, but according to your requirements, a purely Chinese journal, wanting to gain international recognition, is simply impossible!"
Wen Yuxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Currently, scholars around the world who know Chinese... I'm afraid you can completely count them on two hands, and that's only with simple listening and reading ability.
Reading ability is another matter.
Under such circumstances, for papers published in """Xinghuo""" magazine, we might even be unable to find sufficiently authoritative reviewers... After all, you can't just throw a Chinese journal directly into the email inboxes of some powerful reviewers.
In that case, they are very likely to treat that thing as spam and delete it directly, making it impossible to get any response."
Wen Yuxuan's expression was very helpless.
Can Chinese journals be done?
Of course they can, Dragon Country itself has quite a few Chinese journals, and they are doing quite well, but the premise for Chinese journals to be done is that they must be bilingual to be in line with international standards!
Only Chinese?
Only a ghost would read your journal!
The current scope of Chinese is still too narrow, and the influence is too small!
"It doesn't matter."
Guo Hao smiled.
"What I want to do is a purely Chinese journal.
If we can't find reviewers, just send the manuscripts directly to me, and I will review them myself!"
Guo Hao's expression was calm.
"As for whether people abroad are willing to read our journal, I don't care, because I have decided that all my future papers will be published in """Xinghuo""", and I will not publish english versions!
They can read it if they want, or not!"
Guo Hao smiled, his eyes very calm.
Zhou Ming and Wen Yuxuan beside him were both stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes as they exchanged glances.
This is big news!
This means that Professor Guo is preparing to purely publish in Chinese journals from now on?
Then the world's scientific community will suffer a great loss!
"Well, if it's you, it might slightly..."
Wen Yuxuan hesitated slightly; he was about to say something.
"And this."
Guo Hao smiled slightly and handed a piece of paper to Wen Yuxuan beside him.
"This is the content of the first paper I plan to publish in """Xinghuo""" magazine.
Take a look."
"You... what????"
Wen Yuxuan only saw the paper's title and almost instantly couldn't control himself.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with intense shock.
Looking at Guo Hao on the side, Zhou Ming beside him was slightly puzzled.
What on earth did Wen Yuxuan see?
To be so surprised?
"Cloned Organs?
Artificial uterus!
You!!!!
Did it?"
At this moment, Wen Yuxuan's eyes were filled with intense pleasant surprise as he looked at Guo Hao.
As a professional journal editor, he also had an academic background, and he knew very well what these technologies meant!
Whether it was Cloned Organs or artificial uterus, both were two technologies that humanity urgently needed but had not made significant breakthroughs in for a long time.
It could be said that once they were made, they would be of extraordinary significance!
That kind of extraordinary significance that couldn't be described with words!
"Yes, I guess you could say it's done!"
Guo Hao smiled slightly.
Zhou Ming on the side was also stunned.
Cloned Organs?
Artificial uterus?
Wait, wasn't Professor Guo a mathematician, physicist, and Materials Scientist?
Perhaps he could also be barely called a chemist!
But what's the deal with this Cloned Organs?
Biology?
Could it be that Professor Guo was also a biologist???
Zhou Ming couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Guo Hao on the side.
Guo Hao's expression remained unchanged.
And at this moment, Wen Yuxuan's expression was very excited.
"This is a big deal!
A very big deal!
The Cloned Organs technology has been verified, and the real technology is possessed.
This is a world-shaking event!
It's almost as if human medical and Biology levels have been forcefully dragged forward a huge step!
This is a very big thing!"
Wen Yuxuan looked at Guo Hao excitedly.
"If this paper is published, it will definitely shake the world, but if there's only a Chinese version, then the spread will..."
