426: Wherever I am, that is the mainstream!

After being excited for a while,

Wen Yuxuan thought of what he had just said, and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Although in the main languages of the United Nations, Chinese has always held a good position.

But this is not the case in academia.

Because of the almost unshakable position of the Ugly Country in academia, english has naturally become the mainstream language of the world's academia.

It's really too difficult for Chinese to shake the position of english!

If this paper is only published in Chinese journals, its influence will be limited!

Because there are very few people who know Chinese and can understand Chinese papers!

If they want to know the content, they might have to rely on translation, and they need a reliable translation to understand the content.

This is undoubtedly a huge threshold.

Moreover, most people reading papers actually need to read the original text of the paper.

After all, the translated content may not fully represent the true intent the author wanted to express.

Therefore, reading the original text becomes very necessary at this time.

"Professor Guo..."

At this time, Wen Yuxuan hesitated slightly.

"How about, for our first issue of the journal, we still publish this paper in both Chinese and english? This way, we can take advantage of the situation to fire the first shot!

To make our journal famous? If it's purely a Chinese journal, won't it be a bit......"

Wen Yuxuan actually wanted to say 'self-indulgent', but after thinking for a moment, Wen Yuxuan still held back.

After all, it's better not to say such things in front of Professor Guo!

Because Professor Guo is now the top scientist in the world!

Controlled nuclear fusion was completed by him!

This level of ability has shaken the world.

For such a scientist, he should be called a miracle!

"No, just use Chinese, publish purely in Chinese!"

Guo Hao smiled.

"However, when promoting abroad, the paper title can be in english, as for whether they figure out how to translate it, or self-study Chinese.

I don't care about them!"

Saying that, Guo Hao paused, and looked deeply at Wen Yuxuan beside him.

He slowly said.

"Perhaps for most people, academic stuff should not be bound by language, and that's indeed correct.

But in my heart, english has never been the best academic language; it's basically impossible for an outsider to understand a highly technical english paper.

Do you think this is right? On the contrary! I think Chinese is the most suitable language for academia, it's just that before, Dragon Country wasn't strong enough.

The national strength wasn't strong enough, science wasn't strong enough, there weren't enough scientists, we couldn't create the rules.

We were not the international mainstream, the Ugly Country was the mainstream, so english journals became the mainstream, becoming everything, as if everything has always been like this!

But! Has it always been correct just because it has always been this way?"

Guo Hao looked at Wen Yuxuan beside him seriously and asked calmly.

Wen Yuxuan was slightly stunned, he looked at Guo Hao, wanting to open his mouth and say something, but for a moment he could only remain silent.

"Chinese is very suitable for scientific research, honestly! We don't need to coin a new word; we can write a highly professional paper with just over three thousand characters.

The characters can serve this paper, and can also serve another paper; Chinese achieves all of this with just over three thousand characters.

But what about english papers? To understand highly professional papers, how much so-called professional english do we need to specifically learn?

Many words may have only been created for a very few papers; should this be a normal phenomenon??"

Guo Hao looked at Wen Yuxuan beside him very seriously.

Wen Yuxuan, who had been the deputy editor-in-chief of academic journals for more than ten years, of course understood that Professor Guo was right!

It is indeed like this!

Sometimes, for some highly specialized words, Wen Yuxuan would even pause after reading them, then carefully look them up, only to find that they were words that had appeared in the last one or two months.

Some words are composed of dozens of phonetic characters, and a single word directly becomes a sentence, which is frustrating to read.

These are objective facts that cannot be refuted!

Wen Yuxuan was silent for a long while before slowly speaking to Guo Hao.

"Professor Guo, I understand what you mean, but what I mean is, going directly to a purely Chinese journal, is this path a bit too hasty, and we haven't taken many things into consideration?

For example, for a brand new journal like ours, how will we gain fame by doing this, and how will we ensure citations?

Without these, how will our journal receive papers? And what about its influence on a global scale..."

Wen Yuxuan said to Guo Hao hesitantly.

What he said were all key points; for all academic journals, influence is fundamental, and without sufficient influence and citations, the impact factor is too low.

Then it will be difficult for the journal to receive manuscripts, and without enough papers, how can the journal develop? How can it increase its impact factor?

This is a vicious cycle!

"Don't worry."

Guo Hao smiled.

"I won't force you on performance, my only requirement for you is not to let garbage papers appear in the Spark journal! Better to have nothing than to have something inferior!

And! I want to break the old rules; once a paper is published in a Chinese journal, the author is not allowed to publish it in an english journal again!

Only exclusive copyright! And! The Spark journal does not charge any page fees! All operating costs! I will pay!"

Guo Hao said calmly.

Running a journal, especially this kind of academic journal, not making money is normal. Guo Hao is doing this journal, and he never thought about making money; he just wanted to do a truly good Chinese journal!

To make Chinese journals no longer subservient to english journals!

"Then there's no problem!"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Wen Yuxuan's brows relaxed slightly.

As long as there is no need to make money and there is direct capital injection, then running a journal is actually not that difficult.

Coupled with the fact that the strongest universities in the entire Dragon Country have already recognized this journal that has not yet been founded.

Then what Wen Yuxuan needs to do has actually become very simple!

Perhaps only Professor Guo has this kind of appeal!

Thinking of this, Wen Yuxuan looked at Guo Hao beside him with some admiration.

There are few top scientists willing to do this, and they also have to pay for it themselves, and they have to have such strong appeal.

In the entire Dragon Country at present, I'm afraid there is only one Professor Guo!

"Alright, that's all, in short, let's set up the framework first! Editor Wen, you also need to recruit a few professional academic editors.

Then things like the journal cover, copywriting, and website should also be done as soon as possible.

Don't be afraid to spend money! I have money! Zhou Ming! You are in charge of everything!"

"Okay, Boss!"

Zhou Ming quickly said to Guo Hao.

"Okay, I'll put the papers here, make the first issue as soon as possible, by the way, the proof of the Hailstone Conjecture is also on this hard drive.

Let's publish two issues at the same time!"
