On the evening of March 11, Yan Jianbing, the vice president of Huazhong Agricultural University, and the students from the Big Data Class 1901 of the School of Information, tasted the fragrance of books and talked about their growth in the Beiyue Bookstore.

Yan Jianbing and his classmates talked about reading and growing up, "After suffering, there is glory, and only fire can produce real gold." Yan Jianbing and the classmates sat around and spoke freely. He understood and responded to the confusion and confusion of the students about their studies and life one by one , and encouraged the students to read more and read well in the university where their youth is just right.
Do scientific research, don't be bound by the impact factor
"What kind of research is good research?" Xu Zishan asked.
"Don't be bound by the impact factor when doing scientific research ," said Yan Jianbing, "Among the more than 170 articles I have published so far, the one I am most satisfied with is an article with an impact factor of less than 2 points many years ago. I was about the same age and seemed to have endless energy. I wrote loudly and powerfully how I thought the world should change and how this field should develop. I wrote the dream of my life in that article. But now, the article sets myself up I have achieved every goal one by one.”
Knowing that many students are confused and anxious about their future choices, Yan Jianbing took the initiative to share his college days, he said: "The students are much better than me now. Back then, I didn't have a clear scientific research goal, and no one could stand by. Instructing, sitting in the front row listening and learning day in and day out on your own .
So when Professor Zheng Yonglian chose me to go to his laboratory for graduate studies, I sat on the stone bench beside the Youth Lake for an afternoon. In that afternoon, I thought about my future choices and gradually believed that I too had my own merits. place. "

He believes: " Interest or suitability is a false proposition . The root of this false proposition lies in the uncertainty of the future. In other words, the students think too far. There is no right or wrong choice . Once a choice is made, as long as If you keep going, you will reap the rewards. ”
Yan Jianbing also encouraged the students majoring in big data: "We are now using modern biotechnology, information technology, and engineering technology to transform and upgrade traditional advantageous and characteristic disciplines. We will focus on developing emerging fields such as biomedicine and health, information technology and smart agriculture, ecological environment and green development. Interdisciplinary. Big data majors are promising, and you must have confidence.”
The students benefited a lot from the exchange meeting. Xu Ying said:
"Through this conversation with teachers and classmates, I have become more and more aware that people who have achieved outstanding achievements are because of their determination and perseverance . But through Mr. Yan's sharing, I realized that there is no right or wrong choice, and I have determined a path to follow firmly, and the path will become wider and wider.
Academician: Take the road that others have not taken, don't only have a high impact factor
Regarding this issue, Dr. Gao Shihong of Baylor College of Medicine in the United States once said:
It makes sense to publish a paper that emphasizes "author contributions." But I have to admit that this contribution is difficult to quantify most of the time. Scores of postgraduate entrance examinations, impact factors, number of first-authored articles, and number of correspondence articles. Although the evaluation methods faced by these researchers in the process of "upgrading" are a bit blunt and cold, they also reflect the pursuit of universities to establish quantitative fairness assessments .
However, China is promoting the construction of an innovative country. This year, it has made it clear that scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement will be the strategic support for national development.
"You must walk the road that others have not traveled, and you can't always follow others' ass, so you will never be able to do pioneering work." Lu Ruqian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that in scientific research, you can't rest on your laurels, you must dare to think, dare to try, and dare to challenge.
The 87-year-old academician Lu Ruqian is one of the pioneers and pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence in China. He is the first recipient of China's highest artificial intelligence award, "Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Highest Achievement Award".

Questions in NetEase Science's "Master of Science" column: To measure the level of artificial intelligence research in a country, high-impact papers (indicating the number of references and publications) are an important dimension. You are an editorial board member of several academic journals. How is the performance of impact papers?
Lu Ruqian: I think it is reasonable and necessary to pay attention to the number of high-impact papers and the number of citations, because the more citations, the higher the level of attention everyone pays to your research, but I don’t think it should be too extreme . .
Because it is very likely that some important innovative ideas were not noticed in the early stage, if you only take the citation rate of the paper as the only guide, it may be misleading, or even miss the opportunity to innovate.
At present, it has been proposed in China not to use only SCI citations, and not only to have high impact factors ; there are also units that only require individuals to provide a small number of representative papers during the assessment, and more are not counted, which is aimed at excessive quantification of paper indicators.
To give a most extreme example, Mr. Qian Xuesen's mentor, Professor Feng Kamen, is a very famous scientist in the world. Feng Kamen has a groundbreaking paper, which was not adopted by famous scientific journals at first, but was later published in a very common journal. from. Many important papers of famous German scientist Petri are published in the form of technical reports, but they are regarded as classics by the academic community.
There is a folk proverb in our country: "Heroes do not ask about their origins", and academic papers should also not ask about their origins .
Reviews:
I totally agree with Professor Yan's statement! At present, the evaluation of articles is based on division and impact factor, which loses the value of the article itself! The definition of impact factor and the meaning and function of calculating impact factor. Impact factor is one of the important quantitative indicators for evaluating scientific journals.
A measure of the average citation frequency of papers in a journal in a particular year, specifically calculated as the ratio of the total number of papers cited in the journal in the previous two years to the total number of papers published in the journal in the previous two years. The division and impact factor of published articles are closely related to whether the research topic is a hot issue. In addition, the impact factor is the impact factor of the journal, not the impact factor of the published articles. The evaluation should be based on a specific article! Don't use it as a review article!
