Chapter 384 Top Journals

After collecting the last data, Lu Chen returned to the dormitory.

The procedure of clinical research is simple, collecting data, processing and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and finally writing papers.

At present, Lu Chen has only completed the first step.

But this first step, which is also the most important step, accounts for more than 50% of the overall workload.

"Ke Yue, thank you and your roommate for your help during this period." Lu Chen sent a WeChat message to Ke Yue.

Ke Yue immediately replied: "If there is anything about the paper in the future, please tell me, I can help."

"Okay."

However, Ke Yue's help is not needed for the next thing.

SPSS software is mainly used to process and analyze data, and Lu Chen can do it alone.

...

In the next week, Lu Chen put more attention on data processing.

On the weekend, Lu Chen stayed in the dormitory as usual.

"Lu Chen, I heard that there is a very good person in your cardiology department." Zhou Wei, who was working in the laboratory, sent him a WeChat message, "He published an SCI paper as the first author in his first year of graduate school!"

"Yes, it's from our eighth area of ​​cardiology." Lu Chen replied, "Why, do you want to meet him? I can introduce you."

"Hey, forget it." Zhou Wei said, "I'm telling you, my latest paper has also been accepted! Although it's not the first author, the score is not bad, 3 points!"

"You are not bad." Lu Chen praised.

A paper can have many authors.

But usually, only the corresponding author and the first author are recognized.

The corresponding author is usually the tutor, who is the one who proposes the idea of ​​the article.

The first author is the main experimental staff, or the author of the paper.

The remaining second, third, and fourth authors have all contributed to the paper, such as Ke Yue, who helped process the data, etc.

Generally speaking, any evaluation, evaluation, and promotion of positions only recognizes the papers of the corresponding author and the first author.

However, if an SCI paper has a high score, such as Nature, Science, etc., and the impact factor score is above 100%, as long as you leave your name among the authors of the paper, no matter which author you are, you can almost be a professor at a third-rate university.

"Oh, I did this experiment with my senior brother." Zhou Wei said, "So the supervisor is the corresponding author, the senior brother is the first author, and I was given the second author. The idea of ​​the next experiment is my own. If it can be done, then I will definitely be the first author!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Lu Chen said.

"You too, let's encourage each other." Zhou Wei said.

Everyone around is working hard!

Lu Chen closed WeChat and continued to process the data at hand.

His data processing, with the blessing of clinical research skill cards and statistical skill cards, used multiple statistical methods.

These include -Merier method, Log-rank method, multivariate COX regression analysis, etc.

Using multiple statistical methods, repeatedly processing experimental data, the final conclusion can be more convincing!

When Wang Zihao passed by Lu Chen, he accidentally glanced at his computer screen and was almost stunned.

The full screen of operation symbols dazzled him.

"Lu Chen, how many statistical methods did you use?" Wang Zihao couldn't help asking.

"Not many, just five." Lu Chen said, "First use the chi-square test and or Fisher's exact probability method to compare, then use the -Merier method to analyze, then apply the Log-rank method to calculate whether there is a statistical difference, and finally use multivariate COX regression analysis to confirm my conclusion."

Wang Zihao: "..."

It's really Versailles!

He only used a chi-square test, and Lu Chen actually used so many methods.

The gap is really big...

"Lu Chen, did you do all the statistics by yourself? Didn't you ask classmates majoring in statistics to help you do it?" Wang Zihao suddenly thought of this.

Statistics is a brand new major!

Where does Lu Chen get so much energy to learn statistics?

"Well, it's better to rely on yourself. It's impossible to rely on others to help us count the data every time, right?" Lu Chen smiled.

"You're awesome!" Wang Zihao gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.

If he had to learn this, he thought he didn't have the patience or the ability.

Looking at Lu Chen's focused look, Wang Zihao sighed a little.

Lu Chen's current achievements are inseparable from his hard work!

He had never seen Lu Chen go out to play during the weekend break.

This also explains why his sister Wang Ruoxi has a good impression of Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen, a straight man, doesn't understand romance.

Wang Zihao felt a little pity, but was relieved.

It was a pity because Lu Chen was a really good person. After being with him for so long, he was definitely a reliable man.

He was relieved because if they got together, wouldn't Lu Chen become his brother-in-law?

They met every day, and he had to call him "brother-in-law"?

...

Lu Chen didn't know that Wang Zihao behind him was thinking about his own things in a mess.

He was still busy with data processing.

Now it's the last step of data processing!

That is to say, we need to see whether the conclusions we draw are statistically significant!

“This last step will reveal the answer!”

Lu Chen was a little nervous.

If there is no statistical significance, then his hard work over the past few months will be in vain!

Therefore, some experimenters often change the data in order to get a positive result if they do not get a satisfactory result in this last step.

This is also a very common phenomenon in China.

Especially in some hospitals in China.

Blindly pursuing papers, ignoring that many doctors have no scientific research ability at all, what should we do?

Only buy papers, falsify data, or even plagiarize!

This is a very realistic and sad thing...

"Beep beep..."

The computer was running, and several unknown characters flashed continuously.

Finally, after waiting for five minutes, the computer screen output the final result

P<0.05-statistically significant!

In other words, in the small sample experimental study, dapagliflozin can prevent early heart failure in acute myocardial infarction, and this proposition is established.

Lu Chen showed a look of joy and exclaimed: Five months, finally completed! ”

Others have published several core journal papers in five months.

And he still has zero!

…

After the data processing, the only thing left is to write the paper.

Writing the paper is done step by step.

With data and conclusions, it is much easier.

Lu Chen first completed the Chinese paper writing, and then translated the Chinese into English.

If you want to publish a high-scoring SCI paper, Chinese journals do not have such influence for the time being, only foreign journals can do it.

Even the most authoritative Chinese journal series in China has limited influence internationally.

This is also a very helpless reality!

The four top journals in the medical field are all abroad.

They are NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine), The Lancet (The Lancet), JAMA (American Medical Journal), and The BMJ (British Medical Journal).UU Reading www． uukanshu.net

Lu Chen certainly doesn’t dare to hope for these four top journals now, but for his first paper, he must find a more influential foreign journal.

However, Lu Chen didn’t know much about the market of foreign journals, so he asked Senior Sister Sun Guoguo.

Senior Sister Sun Guoguo has been working in scientific research for many years and is very familiar with journals in the cardiovascular field.

She immediately gave Lu Chen three suggestions.

“Clinics,, Pediatric.”

Lu Chen looked up the relevant journal information.

The impact factors are all 1-2 points, and none are more than 3 points.

Lu Chen frowned, this does not meet his expectations!
