Chapter 279: An Invitation from BMJ
Remember [.la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
"Surprise, what surprise? Uh, do you mean Paul, the editor of Nature?"
The blonde beauty Elis was obviously a little confused, and asked blankly.
I have to say that this pure British beauty is the type that Tian Lu admires, compared with ordinary white women, Elis's skin is much more delicate, and at this time, he can't see too deep wrinkles when he frowns, but it makes people feel that it adds a different charm.
"yes, it's that Paul, hehe, forget it, it's nothing. β
Recalling Paul's tone at that time, Tian Lu smiled slightly, and said with his right hand: "So, Miss Elise, let's go to my office to talk, okay?"
"Of course!"
Although it was a little strange and didn't know what Tian Lu meant by his words, Elise still picked up his bag and went to his office with Tian Lu.
"I'm sorry, it's a little smaller, hehe, please sit down. β
After entering the house, while beckoning Elise to sit down, Tian Lu took out a disposable cup, then looked up and smiled: "I only have ready-to-brew tea and coffee here, which one do you want?"
"Water is fine, thank you. β
As he was looking at Tian Lu's office, Elise nodded hurriedly and said.
It would be much easier to drink only plain water, and the water dispenser in the house was always on, so Tian Lu didn't have to wait, just took a cup of hot water and put it on the table.
"Thank you. β
After saying thank you again, Elis's eyes couldn't help but glance at Tian Lu's desk and the full bookcase. There was an indescribably complex taste in his eyes.
"Why? Do you think this office is very small, and the layout is very simple?"
Seeing Elis's eyes, Tian Lu already knew what she was thinking. In fact, last year and this year, almost all the collaborators who came to visit the neurosurgery department had this kind of look. From the initial embarrassment to the current indifference, Tian Lu has become accustomed to it.
As an Englishman, Elise was decidedly less reserved than the Chinese. He nodded directly and said, "Yes, I didn't expect your office to be like this, it's really surprising!"
"It's already pretty good. β
Taro shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "The population of this city in Kyoto is at least equivalent to one-third of the United Kingdom. Especially in the location of our hospital, which is a real inch of land, it is already very good to have a ** office like me. β
This is indeed true. If it were in another city, it would be common for a director like Taro to have a big office, but in Kyoto, he could only be guaranteed to have such a small room. As a decades-old hospital, and in the center of the city, the second attached hospital can hardly be expanded, unless it is completely relocated, if you want to expand, let alone whether the city government approves it or not, even if it is approved, I am afraid that the hospital will not be able to buy the surrounding land if it is sold. In this area, the demolition fee is in the order of 100,000 per square meter.
"Wow!"
With a well-timed exclamation, Elise quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect such an excellent study. Its initiator actually works in such an office!"
Hearing Elis's words, Tian Lu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Noticing the change in Tian Lu's expression, Elise asked in some surprise.
"No, no. β
Waving his hand, Tian Lu explained with a smile: "It's just that this sentence reminds me of one of your compatriots, and it's also a woman." He seemed to have said the same thing when he went to my lab, hehe. β
After a few simple exchanges, the strangeness of the two people when they met just now seemed to have decreased a lot, Tian Lu took a sip of the water he had poured for himself, and then said with a smile: "So, Miss Elis from BMJ, may I ask if you have anything to do with coming to Kyoto to find me this time?"
Talking about work, the blonde beauty's face suddenly became serious, and she nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Mr. Tian, I came to Kyoto at the request of our editor-in-chief, just to discuss the cooperation with you, about this international clinical cooperation you organized, and about your upcoming paper on epilepsy surgery!"
"Oh, you mean you want this paper to be submitted to BMJ?"
He had already guessed the other party's intention, and Tian Lu was not surprised, but asked lightly.
"Of course!"
Elis nodded solemnly, then took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Tian Lu: "This is a handwritten letter from our editor-in-chief, and we very much hope that your paper will finally be published in the long-established and prestigious BMJ magazine!"
After taking the envelope, Tian Lu opened it casually and took a look, as expected, it was some common polite words, as well as invitations to contribute.
After pondering for a moment, Tian Lu smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Thank you very much for the invitation of the editor-in-chief of your magazine, but I still can't figure it out, although the significance of this research is extraordinary, but for the BMJ of the top medical clinical journal, it is not enough to send a beautiful lady like you to make a special trip, right?"
If Tian Lu has made any amazing achievements in basic research, and Paul came to Kyoto again, he would have believed it, but BMW Magazine has never dealt with Tian Lu, and this time he attaches so much importance to this matter, of course, Tian Lu is a little puzzled. You must know that BMJ, as one of the four internationally recognized comprehensive medical journals, will never put up such a big battle for an article!
"Thisγγγγγγ β
Elise hesitated for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Of course there is a reason for this. β
"I'm listening. β
Tian Lu said with a smile and nodded.
Biting his lower lip slightly, Elise said, "Mr. Tian, you know, we at BMJ have always been very interested in Huaguo's research papers, a few years ago. We even ran a special issue in China, hoping to introduce China's medical system, medical education and medical research to the world. β
"I think I've heard of this. β
After recalling it for a while, Tian Lu nodded affirmatively. He did hear about it, and he also heard that for this special issue, both BMJ and China seem to have put a lot of effort into it, but the final result is γγγγγγ
"In our opinion. Huaguo is an ancient giant, although the speed is slow, but it has been accelerating over the years!"
Elise took a sip of water. He then explains: "The same is true in the field of research, and in recent years, there has been an increasing number of manuscripts from China in well-known biomedical journals. And it's growing at a very fast pace, which is very surprising. My friend, Mr. Paul, is very touched by this. β
Thinking of the chubby editor Paul, Tian Lu couldn't help but smile again.
"It's just a pity that clinical research in your country is obviously lagging behind the rapid progress of basic research!"
After a pause, Elis shook his head with some regret and said: "Although we often receive submissions from your country, it is a pity that the quality of both the research itself and the quality of the writing are difficult to satisfy, and the number of publications is very small. So...... β
Tian Lu was suddenly silent.
He had vaguely heard that the original issue of the China special issue was intended to publish an introduction to various aspects, including the current situation of the medical system, the current situation of medical standards, and some academic papers on clinical research, but the final result was quite disappointingγγγγγγ
Speaking of which. Huaguo has one of the largest medical systems in the world, with a large number of physicians and a relatively large patient population, which is what attracts top magazines like BMJ to China. Because such a country means a larger market, the forward-thinking BMJ has been cultivating the market for a long time. If you consider it in this way, it seems that it is a matter of course to produce some eye-catching clinical results in China. But obviously, an ideal is an ideal after all, and reality is a reality after all, and the number of articles published in clinical practice is even far less than that of Ah Sanγγγγγγ
Sometimes Tian Lu is really a little puzzled, I remember that he once consulted the old professor of pathology in the school, but he clearly said that at that time, it was best to engage in clinical practice in China, and there was no future in the foundationγγγγγγ
"So, do you want me to do this?"
After pondering for a while, Tian Lu confirmed again.
"Yes. β
Elise nodded without hesitation and said, "Actually, we also occasionally met an old friend Paul at a journal seminar, and he talked about you and the research you are working on right now. Our editor-in-chief was very interested, so we later consulted Professor Fisling at the Edinburgh Medical School to find out about the Taoist temple. β
"Professor Fislin? did he reveal to you what the research was about?"
Tian Lu pale and asked in a deep voice. Although it is not a study that needs to be kept secret, revealing the content of the research to the journal before the results are available is very unprofessional in Tian Lu's opinion.
"Of course not. β
Elise hurriedly explained: "He and our editor-in-chief have been old friends for many years, but at that time, he only commented in a very appreciative tone, so we don't know the specific results yet." β
"Oh. β
Listening to Elis's explanation, Tian Lu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Basically, the matter is clear, and after a slight pause, Elise said with a straight face: "So considering all aspects, we in the British Medical Journal solemnly extend an invitation to Mr. Tian, hoping to have the opportunity to publish this excellent research paper!"
"Hmmγγγγγγ β
Rubbing his smooth chin, Tian Lu couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. To be honest, he didn't think about BMJ magazine, and all he wanted to vote for was The Lancet, not only because The Lancet has a special neurological sub-journal, but also because the first famous medical journal that Tian Lu knew was the "Lancet" with the same name as the scalpel.
Tian Lu hesitated on one side, but Elise on the other side was a little surprised and unhappy in his heart.
In any case, as the editor of one of the world's top comprehensive medical journals, Elis has always been proud of her work, and in her opinion, if a Chinese doctor can receive such an invitation, he must be ecstatic to agree immediately, where he may be like Tian Lu, even hesitate?
Just when one was pondering and the other was unhappy, there was a knock on the door of the office, and a cold voice came in: "Xiao Tian, are you there?"
