I am a graduate student. Although I do my work by own but I have to publish my paper only when my tutor agrees that I could do this. It seems strange but it's the truth in China.
If the tutor I have to face is a person who is wise and professional, it will not be a obstruct for me to get his agreement of my paper's publication. But, unfortunately, my tutor is stupid, he knows little in the field that I research, even he don't separate the variables when he do the integration. I often wonder how he get this position in the university, may be there is truly a god!
Now, I have done a work on the topic of the holographic universe, I give him my paper, he have no feeling on what I have done in my paper, and I don't know when will my paper be published. I have not to conflict with him face to face, I don't know what to do, do you have any suggestiones? I deadly need your help.

well , what you can really do is talk him into publishing your paper.
clearly he isn't wise enough to understand what you have done.so the only way is either you xplain what you have done, or you charm him to get ur paper published!
thats what i think! rest is upto u!
happy mylotting !!

Hi
I'm not sure how the entire publishing criterion is in china, but there should be another way. Can you change your tutor( they are meant to help YOU,after all!!!;-)).
You could write some discussions to some domestic or international journals, who might be interested, which will get you a lot of attention in your university and other higher ups will take notice... He WILL have to publish it then, even if hoping to make himself famous by being the tutor to the famous graduate!!.
It worked in my university where a friend of mine had a similar problem. She couldn't get it published because of some miscommunication( her guide wouldn't accept it was good?!!?) but she ahd her way in the end.
hope it helps
