Healing Doctor

Chapter 730 Seeking to Publish Papers

Lin Jiu was on the phone.

"Teacher, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Tang Chenghua said in a deep voice. "I asked the judges, and they were vague about it, but I'm certain."

The two were referring to a recent paper written by Lin Jiu based on Neymar's recovery progress.

His English proficiency was far superior to Zhao Zhe's, and Zhao Zhe had no intention of competing with him, so he naturally handed over this "job" to Lin Jiuze.

Lin Jiu was very skilled at writing papers, but what happened next was beyond his imagination.

After the paper is written, it is sent to the journal via email. According to the normal procedure, it takes 3-6 months to receive a reply.

Just three days after Ke Lin Jiu Ze submitted his paper, the magazine replied that the latest issue was already full and the paper could only be published next month.

This was already an extremely fast pace, and Lin Jiuze's normal understanding was that the magazine's reviewers would definitely "notify" him in a condescending tone or as if bestowing a favor.

But to everyone's surprise, the email from the magazine was filled with unvarnished apologies and apologetics.

Lin Jiu was very surprised by this.

So he called Tang Chenghua to ask what had happened.

Teacher Tang Chenghua was familiar with some of the editorial board members. He asked around and knew there was a problem, but he had no idea what the specific problem was.

"It shouldn't be like this," Tang Chenghua said cautiously.

He had realized that the person Qin Chu had provoked was not a "small" resident or intern, but a behemoth, a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows.

"Yes," Lin Jiu said in a deep voice.

The master and apprentice fell silent simultaneously. After a few seconds,

Tang Chenghua suddenly said, "Nine, I'm a reviewer for *Radiology*. Here's what you do: find relevant content and submit the article to *Radiology*. I'll take a look and see what's strange about it."

After saying that, Tang Chenghua finally let out a long breath.

Try it yourself and see what happens.

Lin Jiu on the other end of the phone remained silent.

"Nine procedures? Does that mean your surgical procedures have nothing to do with radiology?" Tang Chenghua asked doubtfully. "It shouldn't be like that. Hybrid surgery should involve interventional procedures."

"Nine, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Teacher..." Lin Jiu said with difficulty, "Dr. Ji Xiang has requirements for the publication of papers."

"What's the requirement? Isn't it about speed? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to know what happens after the paper reaches the journal."

"No, teacher." Seeing that Tang Chenghua was misunderstanding more and more, Lin Jiu said simply, "Dr. Ji Xiang requires that the journal's impact factor be above 20. The impact factor of 'Radiology' is a bit low, only around 11 now, and I'm afraid Dr. Ji Xiang will not agree."

"!!!"

A surge of anger rose in his chest, almost making Tang Chenghua's eyes roll back.

Radiology, that's Radiology!

It is the world's top journal in radiology, a king among single disciplines.

Tang Chenghua never imagined that a top-tier radiology journal like Radiology would one day be looked down upon.

"..."

He wanted to say something, but he unknowingly became mute and couldn't utter a single word.

How could a resident trainee be so arrogant and domineering! He doesn't even respect Radiology.

"Teacher, I don't understand either," Lin Jiu explained helplessly. "He gave away all the articles with an impact factor below 20 to others."

"Give it to someone else?"

"Other doctors in the department, and even nurses."

"..."

"Dr. Ji Xiang's attention has always been focused on journals with an impact factor of 20 or higher, especially The Lancet. The reviewers seem to take special care of Dr. Ji Xiang."

Tang Chenghua listened silently.

Lin Jiuze was different from usual. He knew about the Lancet supplement, but he mentioned it again.

He was probably thinking as he spoke.

It's a ghost!

Tang Chenghua felt somewhat confused.

Tang Chenghua never imagined that Radiology would one day be looked down upon.

It took a lot of effort and resources for me to become one of the editorial experts for Radiology.

However, this involves academic standing, so it's worth using any amount of resources.

Tang Chenghua had originally been thinking about what he would do if the content was inappropriate, and what strange things might happen after receiving the manuscript.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xiang had no interest in Radiology.

"Teacher, it's not impossible to submit an article."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chenghua burst into tears.

Did I beg Ji Xiang to submit his work?

He begged me!

Beg me!!!

"The top orthopedic journals only have an SCI impact factor of around 5, but Dr. Ji Xiang still submitted it for the sake of the department's chief resident, and it was successfully published. I'll try to think of a way..."

Tang Chenghua heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

I'm not a dog, I don't need to wag my tail and beg for mercy!

Oh shit!

The top-tier radiology journal, *Radiology*, actually begged Ji Xiang to submit his work?!

Tang Chenghua wanted to refuse the role for a moment, but he swallowed the words back.

Never mind, never mind.

I need to see what's so strange about it, otherwise I'll start overthinking and won't be able to sleep well.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Jiu explained his plan.

Tang Chenghua had no choice but to agree.

The master and apprentice didn't say much, and neither Lin Jiuze nor Tang Chenghua had anything to say about it.

What is this?

They practically begged Ji Xiang to submit his work.

Oh shit!

The master and disciple cursed each other almost simultaneously from opposite ends of the earth.

After finishing his rant, Lin Jiu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

As time went on, Neymar's recovery improved, especially compared to Vanderbilt, which made it clear that Neymar's recovery was definitely not due to luck.

Even among top athletes, despite individual differences, the degree of recovery varies drastically.

Unfortunately, I have to go back now; time waits for no one!

Lin Jiu calculated the time and began preparing his own plans.

Through this period of getting to know him, Lin Jiu had a general idea of ​​Ji Xiang's personality and temperament.

Lin Jiu thought to himself, "There must be a way to get Ji Xiang to agree."

……

Ji Xiang touched his ear.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ji?" Meng Qingfei asked.

"My ears are burning; someone might be whispering about me or cursing me," Ji Xiang said with a slight smile.

"Haha, it must be one of the nurses. No, maybe a young and pretty female patient too. Speaking of which, when I was young, I even had female patients writing me letters. Back then, writing letters was my main form of communication. Your brother Meng was quite something when I was young."

"What a pity, she's aged and lost her beauty now."

Meng Qingfei had just started boasting when he heard the sound of a flatbed cart coming from the corridor.

His expression darkened.

"Ugh."
