Chapter Seventy-Three: The Greatest Virtue Is Fearlessness
In order to avoid being too shocking, Yao Aijun used the pen name of Nancheng Yao to lay out his own views several times from the perspective of enthusiastic readers and science lovers in a science-based magazine like Popular Medicine. I thought that in the exchange with the columnists, I gradually formed my own theory, so as not to cause any unnecessary speculation.
However, he doesn't know enough about a serious academic journal editorial team to pay attention to popular science journals like Popular Medicine. When he tried to use a professional paper to elicit a theoretical structure that he was going to use as a patent, he was rejected?
Sitting under the lamp, Yao Aijun carefully flipped through the reply letters he received during the day. Founded in 1972, Medical Research Newsletter is sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and has a high academic factor. It can be said that this is an academic journal with strong roots. Yao Aijun chose this publication because of its authority and cutting-edge timeliness. But he forgot that how could such a journal accept a manuscript with a paper format that is incorrectly formatted and submitted from an unclear source?
If it weren't for the fact that the value of Yao Aijun's past papers was indeed very high, I'm afraid he wouldn't even receive this reply.
In the reply letter, the other party expressed his affirmation of the value of the manuscript very sincerely, and also raised questions about the format of the paper and the information of the unit that hoped to note the academic newsletter. This is also an endorsement, after all, not all speculations can be called XX conjectures, and Newton would not have been able to impose a thirty-year ban on Leibniz if he had not been with the Royal Society.
As an authoritative academic journal, Medical Research Newsletter must judge the authenticity of the manuscript through the institution. Yao Aijun also understands this, but he can't expose his true situation, and if he is exposed as a student of Primary 6, he has no credibility!
He flexed his fingers and unconsciously tapped the table, wondering how to send the paper out smoothly.
Finally, he decided to expand the "clinical application of motor muscle group assessment tools" into a long explanatory report. It includes the conceptual model of the "motor muscle group assessment tool" proposed by him, the data generated by this evaluation tool in actual sports training and training injury prevention and care, and the clinical value generated in aftercare analysis.
Yes, the reason why journals ask for academic units is to ensure the authenticity of the paper's research. Without the endorsement of an academic unit, he used the irrefutable real number jù to demonstrate the value of this model concept!
It took Yao a whole week to put together a long report of more than 100,000 words to elaborate on his previous paper. Then he carefully sealed the envelope and threw it out again.
A few days later, the editorial office of the Medical Research Newsletter.
"Ahh It's the manuscript of this "Nancheng Yao" again. A middle-aged editor with eyes whispered.
The staff of the magazine who organizes the manuscript writes the information of the contributor on a sticky note, and sticks it to the unfolded manuscript with a pin or staple, and seals it to make it easy for the editors to read.
Generally, contributors are eager to write as much information as possible, but Yao Aijun has nothing to write about. On the sticky notes pinned to his manuscript, there were only Yao Aijun and his mailing address. In a large number of submissions, it stands out.
The reason why the middle-aged editor remembered Yao Aijun's name and discovered him at a glance was because Yao Aijun's previous submission had also caused a lot of controversy within their editorial team. At this time, he picked out Yao Aijun's manuscript with great interest.
"Heh, this manuscript is very weighty!" He first skimmed through the abstract of the paper, then turned back to the real yàn number jù part and looked at it carefully, and then turned back to the model architecture proposed in the paper.
Nearly 100,000 words of manuscript, in this era when there are no electronic files, Yao Aijun wrote to write such a thick pile of nearly two manuscript paper long reports. Naturally, editing and reviewing is not so easy.
As the middle-aged editor looked down, time passed minute by minute, and he was deeply attracted by Yao Aijun's report.
"Teacher Wang, it's noon, let's go down to eat together?" Colleagues in the editorial room called him.
Wang Ming unconsciously waved his hand at the visitor, and he was completely immersed in Yao Aijun's report. Sports medicine in China is still in the embryonic stage and has not yet become a separate category in surgery. Although they will be exposed to a large number of foreign cutting-edge research results as academic journalists, there are very few research reports in China that can clearly explain and form their own theories. Wang Ming flipped through the pages and sketched out the key parts of the report from time to time.
It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that Wang Ming raised his head, and his excited eyes were dyed with a few red threads because of excitement.
He looked up and asked, "Did any of you see the director today, is he in the office?" ”
"Oh, yes. I just went there to report. The children under him quickly reported the news.
Wang Ming picked up the manuscript in his hand and walked briskly to the director's editorial office.
"Director Niu, look!"
"Huh? Is this Yao Aijun again? ”
"Yes! I really don't know who he is. Nancheng hasn't heard of any very powerful research units, but you read his report. Complete, reasonable, and well-argued. It just so coincides with last year's Finn study! Wang Ming said excitedly.
Director Niu took the manuscript, and after browsing the summary and later counts, as Wang Ming had done before, he took out a manuscript from the stack of essays in his hand, which was the one where Yao Aijun was rejected a few months ago!
In contrast, there are no flaws in the theoretical part, and the newly received manuscripts are more solid and informative. Director Niu smiled and said, "This comrade is also very interesting, why did he hide it and not report it." You ask Xiao Xu and them to make copies of these two, I'll take a look at them first, the day after tomorrow happens to be a meeting on Wednesday, let the old Wang on the surgical side and them all argue it. It's really okay to write a manuscript, and we can't bury it just because people refuse to report it. ”
"Okay!" Wang Ming went out with the manuscript again like a gust of wind.
Not surprisingly, at the meeting on Wednesday, Yao Aijun's long exposition once again sparked controversy.
"Director, I don't build yì hair. Our journal has always been an old journal, and it is very heavy. This will inevitably cause more discussions and letters from more people, and there is no specific docking unit, how to be convincing! ”
"Well, I think so too. Mr. Wang is also right here, this report is very valuable. But this one needs to be endorsed by the credibility of our magazine! That's a bit risky! ”
"Lao Wang, what do you think? This is your surgical direction, don't you make a sound? Director Niu turned his head to look over.
Wang Xiangzhi held a cigarette in his hand, and he was not in a hurry when he was named, and flipped through the copy of the report in his hand for a while before he looked up and said: "This "Nancheng Yao", after the manuscript came over last time, I asked someone to inquire. Du Xuemei, Xiao Du of "Popular Medicine", she has been receiving this manuscript since half a year ago, sometimes it is communication consultation, sometimes it is communication, according to Xiao Du, this person has a very special attainment in "kinematics". Saying that it is special, he is very sharp about the entry points of many cutting-edge theories, and often points out the key points of Xiao Du's introduction to the report. But sometimes the letter consultation seems very rough. ”
"Du Xuemei, is it the little Du of the recent "scientific movement"? Someone asked.
"That's her, she's a student I've taken along. She went to the University of California for further study, and since her return, she has been engaged in the translation, introduction and research of kinesiology theory. According to her, she thinks that this author's research is probably only him, an autonomous researcher. Then he paused, glanced at Director Niu, and said with a smile: "The master is in the people, director." The risk is quite high, but I'd better make a living. When our magazine was founded, wasn't truth first? Director, you remember what we said, the greatest virtue of a warrior of science is—"
"Dreadnought!"
