Remember for a second. la], for you to read.

Early in the morning, Nature? Editorial Board of the journal Neuroscience.

Pushing open the door and entering his office, Professor Bert was in a very happy mood. It had been a long time since he became editor-in-chief of the magazine, and after just two wonderful weeks of taking his family to the beach, the accumulated fatigue was suddenly swept away, and he seemed to be back to a state of energy.

After brewing himself a cup of fragrant* coffee, Professor Bert sat down and began to work on the work he had accumulated for two weeks.

As a mature academic journal, the editorial department has a fixed workflow, even if Bert is not there, it will not affect the publishing work, but some relatively important things still need to be decided by him. Especially in recent years, the competition among peers has become more and more fierce, and everyone is racking their brains to try all kinds of ways to strive for more and better manuscript sources, so as to improve their impact factor, which is exactly what Bert needs to strive to do.

"Maybe you can consider learning from the practices of "BMJ" and promoting it in those emerging countries?"

Professor Bert looked at the statistics in the new issue of the magazine and thought a little distractedly. The data is still good, and as one of the sub-journals of Nature, it has a natural competitiveness. However, after reaching a certain height, the development of the magazine has slowed down significantly, and more impetus is needed.

Although the types of journals are somewhat different, Nature?Neuroscience and BMJ are both medical journals, so Professor Bert and Professor Golander, the editor-in-chief of BMJ, are quite familiar. I know that the other party will go to China, India and other countries almost every year in the past few years to give several lectures on thesis writing, and take the opportunity to promote the magazine and expand its influence. Moreover, there is a Chinese version of "BMJ" in a big country like China, which is published once a month, and its influence is not bad.

Although Hua Guoneng has published very few articles in BMJ, the proportion of the total number is negligible. But whoever sees the potential of that huge country is clearly trying to get ahead of the curve. Also went to the front.

All sorts of thoughts were spinning in his mind, when Bert suddenly heard a quick knock on the door, and quickly calmed down. He shouted loudly, "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and the editor, Graham, walked in briskly.

"Editor-in-chief, this is an article I just received this morning, I think, you should see it for the first time!"

Handed over a dozen sheets of A4 printer paper, Graham's face was full of solemnity.

Professor Bert's heart moved, and he hurriedly took the slightly warm printing paper, but his left hand had already reached out to touch his old mirror: "What is it about?" Which country? That institute's? ”

As one of Professor Bert's most trusted senior editors, Graham's work was extremely important, as he was responsible for the initial review of all submissions. to judge the value of each article and whether it is worth the next step. This is very demanding for editors, who not only need to have a very broad range of knowledge, but also have to be very familiar with the research progress of countries around the world in their field of expertise. Graham has done an excellent job of this, and Professor Bert has recognized his professionalism and vision. Knowing that the article that the other party values so much, it must have its own uniqueness.

"Blood-brain barrier, from Beijing Normal University in Huaguo!"

Graham replied immediately.

"Huaguo?"

Professor Bert was slightly stunned, a little surprised in his heart.

Huaguo is not without excellent articles, in fact, their progress in recent years is obvious. The number of articles published in the Nature series of journals has increased year by year, and there has been a significant proportion. However, for Graham to pay so much attention to it and find himself as soon as he receives the manuscript, is this article really that valuable? The study of the blood-brain barrier has been a hot topic in the past two years, and there are many articles, and it seems that none of them can make him pay so much attention, right?

Seeing Professor Burt's doubts, Graham couldn't help but add: "Although we don't publish many articles in China, the author of this article is an old friend of our magazine, I used to be in Scripps in the United States, and now I don't know how to go to Kyoto in China!" ”

After listening to Graham's words, Professor Bert hurriedly put on his old glasses and looked at the first person under the title of the article!

"It's him!"

Professor Bert was shocked and couldn't help but cry out in a low voice!

Tian Lu, for this name, Bert can be said to have a deep memory!

It was his first year as editor-in-chief of the magazine, and the three issues in a row caused a lot of sensation, and more importantly, Tian Lu's subsequent speech in Stockholm made the results of the blood-brain barrier research in the following three years show a blowout!

The breakthrough of the blood-brain barrier has made countless neurologists excited, and in the past three years, the blood-brain barrier has been one of the hottest topics in the neurobiology community!

Without him, breaking through the blood-brain barrier is too important for diseases of the nervous system!

Being able to artificially and safely break through the blood-brain barrier means that human beings can finally enter the forbidden area set by God and smoothly deliver medicines to places that were previously inaccessible, and many diseases that could not be applied before finally have the hope of being alleviated or even cured!

However, what is strange is that the initiator Tian Lu has fallen silent for no reason, and until today, he has never published any articles, which makes many people disappointed. After all, according to the theory put forward by Tian Lu, so many people have new research results, there is no reason why he himself has nothing to do, right?

Gradually, even Professor Bert came to think that this field was just another meteor in the academic world.

After all, this is a very common phenomenon in academia.

Young researchers, by their own efforts, or luck, have made achievements that have attracted the attention of the world, but since then, many have remained in obscurity. After all, the emergence of a research result often has an element of luck in it. That's one of the reasons why so much scientific research is done, but very few of them are actually everyone.

As with any industry, there are ordinary people and "experts" in scientists.

However, today's article finally evoked the memories in Professor Burt's heart, and also reminded him of one of his regrets for more than two years.

Thinking of this, Professor Bert no longer hesitated and settled down. I couldn't wait to look at the specific content of the article.

"A small molecule compound that has never been discovered before? Closing the stress-opened blood-brain barrier? ”

With a bang, Bert got up from his chair! Just after reading the title and content introduction, a monstrous wave suddenly set off in his heart!

This......

"Once again, he went ahead of the others!"

Time. There was only one thought left in Professor Bert's mind!

When researchers all over the world follow the track set by the field, to seek, to discover. When it comes to studying the physiological mechanisms that open the blood-brain barrier and perfecting the specific theoretical and practical details, it is not that no one has done research on artificially controlled closure, but unfortunately, no one has achieved results in three years.

But that man, again!

How did he do it?

Holding the information in his hand, Professor Bert no longer had the heart to continue reading, he raised his head suddenly, and asked eagerly: "Graham, Paul should be in charge of this research, right?" ”

"Yes. And Tian's three articles back then were also his. ”

Graham nodded hurriedly in confirmation.

"Let him come to my office right away!"

Professor Bert gave the order without hesitation.

Graham nodded, walked out of the office, and moments later, walked in with a middle-aged editor in his forties.

Seeing Paul's editing, Professor Bert immediately handed over the printer paper in his hand: "Paul." After reading this article, here it is, read it now! ”

Although he was a little surprised, Paul took it anyway and immediately looked at it on the spot.

Like Professor Burt, after seeing the title of the article and the name of the first author. Paul was also suddenly shocked, and a strange light burst out of his eyes, and then he couldn't wait to look back.

I watched this for more than ten minutes.

After reading it, he looked up and said excitedly: "This is another big discovery!" It's still that Tian, haha, I thought he was just a flash in the pan, but I didn't expect that three years later, he would come up with such a weighty result! Editor-in-chief, this is enough to make a key article in one issue! ”

"I know this!"

Waving his hand a little impatiently, Professor Burt asked eagerly, "Let me ask you, are the results of your research reliable?" Is that kind of small molecule compound really never discovered? ”

For Paul, who specializes in related articles, his knowledge of the content of the articles is obviously stronger than that of the editor-in-chief and Graham, so both Professor Bert and Graham are waiting for his answer with anticipation.

"This 。。。。。。"

Paul choked slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "If it's Tian, I think there should be no problem!" ”

Paul was even more impressed with Tian Lu than Professor Bert! After all, he was the editor-in-charge of those three articles back then, and he has also been in charge of research articles on the blood-brain barrier for the past two years, so he knows better than anyone the huge influence of Tian Lu in this field!

"That's fine!"

To be able to achieve the position of editor-in-chief, Professor Bert naturally has the courage, and immediately decided: "It's better to follow the normal process and send it to experts for review!" But Paul, be sure to tell me more, you have to be fast, and if you can, try to publish it in the next issue! ”

"No problem!"

Paul immediately nodded. This article must still be edited by him, and being able to be in charge of such a heavyweight article naturally makes him excited.

After hesitating for a moment, Professor Bert gritted his teeth, and then ordered: "In addition, in order to grasp the first-hand information, you invite a relevant scholar who is more familiar with China to go to Kyoto, China as soon as possible, and go to see the process of the experiment in person!" ”

"Is this necessary?"

At this moment, not only Paul, but even Graham looked at it in surprise. If it's just to make sure that the content of the article is authentic and reliable, this is a lot of investment.

"There is a need for this!"

Professor Bert nodded and said with a solemn face: "If my prediction is not wrong, I am afraid that Tian will set off another research boom like three years ago。。。。。。 ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

I have a question for you.

Recently,To be precise, it should be on the shelves.,Considering the opinions of many book friends,I deliberately added some plots of life.,Yesterday I wrote a chapter of popular science (popular science of personal opinions),But to be honest,For me,First, it's not in the plan.,It's hard to write when you add some.,Second, I always feel a little awkward.,I'm afraid that I can't write well.。

What do you think?! ~！
