"I’ll take a look at other papers first."
"Okay, okay."
Papers in the field of economics.
If you want to refer to them, you need to look at higher-level papers to learn.
Xu Lin went straight to the Web of Science.
This is a globally authoritative academic database with over ten thousand high-impact journals, making it perfect for finding specific field papers. Undergraduates and above all know about CNKI, but CNKI is more suitable for finding dostic literature. If you want to focus on international academic frontiers, Web of Science is more suitable.
Xu Lin accessed Web of Science through the Finance University library web, then clicked on products in the upper right corner, selected journal citation reports, the page jumped, selected categories, the page jumped, then it was ti to choose the major discipline.
Economics.
Then he looked for the subfield.
Then selected SCI, the page jumped, and the appearing journals were sorted by impact factor from high to low.
When reading papers, you look at those with high impact factors because they have higher research value, and their reference value is naturally higher.
Xu Lin didn’t even translate the page. His English level is already very high, so he read the English directly. Besides, the browser’s translation might have issues in so places.
Ning Yuhuan is a top student, first in her major since the first sester of her freshman year, with a perfect GPA. Her CET-4 score was over 600, and her CET-6 was also over 600. She speaks English fluently, but she can’t compare to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin’s speed in reading papers is very fast. He picked out a hundred papers to read, finished them in more than two hours, rembered all the content, and had a clear picture in mind after reading.
"I’ll take another look at your paper."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ning Yuhuan thought Xu Lin was amazing. He was flipping through papers rapidly, devouring them whole. Anyone who didn’t know would think Xu Lin was just showing off, but Ning Yuhuan knew this was just Xu Lin’s normal operation.
Xu Lin read Ning Yuhuan’s paper again, and this ti, he finally found the problem.
Moreover, the issue was present throughout the entire paper. Xu Lin suddenly understood Professor Huang’s perspective. Was she seeing the sa thing?
However, it is well known that undergraduate papers are mostly trash, with 99% of them being worthless.
Now that Xu Lin has acquired more knowledge, he stands on a higher level, so his standards for Ning Yuhuan’s paper are just higher.
But Xu Lin himself doesn’t feel it’s high, just like a university student studying advanced mathematics, who, being a top student, is guiding a middle school student and finding the middle schooler foolish for not understanding sothing so simple.
"Senior, your paper needs a major revision."
"Ah, does it need a major revision?"
"Yes, but it’s not a big problem, I’m here to help!"
Letting Ning Yuhuan do it herself would take ages, so Xu Lin directly took it upon himself.
Once the data is ready, writing the paper is simple. The hardest part of a paper is the data. For papers that require self-collected data, the preliminary work can take months, while writing the actual paper takes only a few days.
"Will the professor notice?"
"If she notices, just say your boyfriend advised you. Then if Professor Huang asks if you hired soone to write it, saying your boyfriend is this amazing, just call over. Don’t be scared. Besides, with here, you can learn sothing even if you’re just watching. So don’t mind the details, what’s important is learning!" Xu Lin pointed to his head.
"Oh!"
Ning Yuhuan nodded earnestly.
"Watch closely!"
"Hmm!"
Xu Lin opened Word and got to work, preparing to draft a paper.
Title, citations, literature review...
[This is a brand-new advanced path! ]
Xu Lin suddenly saw a task prompt pop up and ntally clicked it open imdiately.
[Academic side quest: You can randomly choose an academic direction, enter the academic field, and publish a paper with significant academic research value to give a shock to the academic community!]
[Note: A random reward can be unlocked after completing this task.]
"Randomly choose an academic direction, so which direction should I choose?"
There was no box to select what academic direction, so Xu Lin needed to think for himself.
Xu Lin looked at the task and continued writing the paper, thinking as he wrote.
