王志明同学在科学网上和人掐架,把我也牵扯进去了,因为我在他的博文 办好中国高水平的期刊,关键是编辑水平 中留言说: 标题: 发表评论人: siccashq 王兄终于点头承认期刊还是要靠人的声誉这些软实力了吧,这正如国内的大楼,即便是修的再好看,里面没内涵还是没人去;一篇文章里面图画的再花哨,没有科学内涵,就很难有人记住去引用;一本期刊,铜版纸印刷的分辨率越高,也抵不过一篇名家短文的号召力。 你又要说中国肯送版面费,又抱怨编辑水平低,似乎就最后的这一通牢骚说道点之上了。 博主回复:在国外办刊,都是在围绕着钱打转,找钱办刊,收钱维持,赚钱发展。我也是因为钱的问题而把NRL交给了Springer。所以,刚到科学网,开博就谈钱也是很自然的。后来才意识到,在中国办刊,钱居然不是问题,哪还办不好期刊,就有点说不过去了... (先扯句题外话,早先建议科学网要注意尊重评论者的工作,如果想引用某位评委的评论,怎么也得给这个评论编个号吧) 我完全赞同王志明同学这篇文章的论点,科学期刊生存和发展的基础在于所发表的论文,而如何吸引好的论文是由主编和期刊的历史声誉决定的,而不仅仅是IF。王兄早先对中国发展OA很乐观,因为中国物质条件和制度条件都在,所要做的仅仅是提高一点版面费和开放一下资源,是不是能够完全开放必须把万方和知网收购下来。这个办刊的假设在技术上完全没有困难,但是王兄口口声声要说办出优秀的国际期刊却存在大问题。王兄以为轻轻摁一下OA这个模式杠杆就能把ACS,AAAA,Wiley等大出版机构翘翻了过去,结果发现即便让科技工作者完全了解了开放存取的好处,也不可能把顶尖研究小组的文章引过来,别的期刊就不说了,援引王兄评论自己所主编NRL的体会: 为什么NRL到现在还没有Harvard和MIT的投稿,因为这些单位的稿子质量太高了,都流到高IF的Nature,Science,和Nano Letters去了,让我们的影响因子只能到2.为什么世界的科研工作者就是追求这些东西,而不是实实在在的追求一下他们自己研究的东西,做研究就是做研究,为什么要发高影响力的期刊啊! 这是不是很有'世界特色'啊! 王兄问了三个为什么,终于问出了答案,就是主编的问题。科学出版物应该由科学大家来担纲,说实在话,这些专业期刊就是一些专业爱好者的博客网。wiley出版社为啥喜欢找诺贝尔奖获得者做顾问?就是要找旗手。ACS为啥出的新期刊都先重点推出主编(如NANO ACS和ACS APPL. MATER.),就是要依赖主编的号召力。国内期刊编委会也有一大群的院士,但是院士并不真正参与到期刊的运作中来。 其实王兄也不用妄自菲薄,中国搞OA有希望成功的还是有候选者,如清华大学和springer合作办的NANO RESEARCH。这个期刊有一个编辑团队,都是华人中有名的科学家,如戴宏杰,彭晓刚,李亚东,薛其坤等。前几天收到该期刊的一封通信,广告通知下一期的文章目录,都是OA期刊,为啥别人就能约到一些优秀研究小组的工作报告?这不都是靠主编的专业影响力?所以说,国内的编辑们也不必拿主义来反驳自己实力如何,承认这个事实是必然的。依靠几个老院士是不管用的,要依赖年轻一线的科学工作者才是出路。 ----------------- The 5th issue of Nano Research (by Tsinghua/Springer) is now online.

今早看到本领域一篇新闻,很是兴奋。看完后却对我们的编辑非常失望,这是最近一段时间来我对科学网编辑的第二次失望。 大气中存在清除酸雨的奇特分子 http://www.sciencenet.cn/htmlpaper/20088151010205433140.html 这种分子通常是由两个氢原子结合而成,这非常类似于水分子结构。 该奇特分子之所以能够清除污染物质是由于其弱氧结合性,能够将水分子吸附在一起。它的结构具有两个氢原子,使其形成六边环形结构,这种氢原子结合方式通常比正常氢原子结合更微弱一些,这被称为共价键(covalent bonds)。事实上,共价键要比氢原子结构强20倍,弗朗西斯科称,但在这种情况下,两个氢原子结合方式已很强,足以影响大气层的化学物质。......(来源:新浪科技 魏冬) 让我们来看看原文摘要: PNAS论文摘要 Spectroscopic identification and stability of the intermediate in the OH + HONO 2 reaction Bridget A. O'Donnell , Eunice X. J. Li , , Marsha I. Lester , , and Joseph S. Francisco + Author Affiliations Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6323; and Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2084 Edited by F. Fleming Crim, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, and accepted February 22, 2008 (received for review January 11, 2008) Abstract The reaction of nitric acid with the hydroxyl radical influences the residence time of HONO 2 in the lower atmosphere. Prior studies have revealed unusual kinetic behavior for this reaction, including a negative temperature dependence, a complex pressure dependence, and an overall reaction rate strongly affected by isotopic substitution. This behavior suggested that the reaction occurs through an intermediate, theoretically predicted to be a hydrogen-bonded OHHONO 2 complex in a six-membered ring-like configuration. In this study, the intermediate is generated directly by the association of photolytically generated OH radicals with HONO 2 and stabilized in a pulsed supersonic expansion. Infrared action spectroscopy is used to identify the intermediate by the OH radical stretch ( 1 ) and OH stretch of nitric acid ( 2 ) in the OHHONO 2 complex. Two vibrational features are attributed to OHHONO 2 : a rotationally structured 1 band at 3516.8 cm 1 and an extensively broadened 2 feature at 3260 cm 1 , both shifted from their respective monomers. These same transitions are identified for ODDONO 2 . Assignments of the features are based on their vibrational frequencies, analysis of rotational band structure, and comparison with complementary high level ab initio calculations. In addition, the OH ( v = 0) product state distributions resulting from 1 and 2 excitation are used to determine the binding energy of OHHONO 2 , D 0 5.3 kcalmol 1 , which is in good accord with ab initio predictions. 这很明显是两码事!中文编辑的翻译明显会误导我们的决策者,因为他们没有时间和精力去看原文!
