Chapter 1572: Bad Luck
Lu Xia herself also felt that her paper had the potential to be put on the cover.
But when she saw the eye-catching headline on the cover, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
That was not the subject of her paper.
Then, she looked up at Teacher Jon's assistant not far away and walked towards him, "It seems that I got the wrong journal."
When the assistant heard this, he stopped what he was doing and said, "That's impossible. It's this one. I flipped through it and saw your paper before you came."
Lu Xia was stunned again.
Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, the assistant simply took the journal from her, flipped through two pages, and then held it in the air, "Here, this one is yours."
Lu Xia's eyes fell on the opened SCI journal, and the content was exactly her paper.
"Your paper is typeset as the second one, which shows how valuable your article is." The assistant's words of praise came again.
He was not deliberately flattering, but articles that can be included in SCI are indeed of extremely high value, significance and research direction. No wonder Dr. Jon would accept another student.
Lu Xia could no longer listen to the compliments at this time. Her mind was now filled with the fact that her paper was not on the cover.
As early as a week ago, she asked her teacher indirectly. He was an old friend of the editor-in-chief of SCI, so how come the journal published... and the article on the cover was not the one she wrote?
Lu Xia stood there, feeling completely dazed.
She took the journal back in her hands. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't care. She turned around and walked out of the office without saying anything.
When Jon's assistant saw this, a strange look appeared on his face.
Aren’t all your papers published in SCI journals? Why do you seem unhappy?

Lu Xia took the elevator to the eleventh floor, where Jon's office was.
"What's wrong?" Qiao En asked in confusion when he saw Lu Xia coming to him again.
Lu Xia pursed her lips, trying her best to endure the pain in her heart, and handed the journal in her hand to Qiao En, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, have you read this issue of SCI?"
Jon spends most of his time in the lab, and only reads academic journals occasionally. He took the journal and said, "I haven't read it yet. Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Xia clenched her fingers tightly and said nothing.
Jon saw the appreciation content on the cover at this time, and then flipped through it. He saw that Lu Xia's paper was ranked second, which was beyond his expectation.
Seeing this, Qiao En clearly understood why Lu Xia came to him. He cleared his throat and said, "Maybe SCI made some temporary adjustments and put your paper second."
"But... didn't you say before that you would put it first?" Although Lu Xia knew that she shouldn't question Qiao En about this matter, she just couldn't bear it.
I feel like my honor has been snatched away.
Who can endure this injustice?
"The editor-in-chief of SCI did say so before..." Jon had already casually flipped through the first paper.
Although his field is not bioinformatics, he has some understanding of interdisciplinary subjects, so when he browsed the contents of the first paper, he showed surprise on his face.
The level of the article is very basic, but the content is very guiding, no wonder it was placed first.
"Xiao Lu, you don't have to feel anything. It's not that you're not good enough, you just happened to come across this special article in this issue." Jon explained.
