Chapter 385: No Response!

However, in Sun Guoguo's opinion, it is not easy for Lu Chen to publish an SCI paper as the first author!

Does he want to publish a high-scoring paper?

This is not a clinical skill!

Clinical skills can be improved with practice, but there is no shortcut to scientific research papers.

What's more, Lu Chen has never published other papers before.

Sun Guoguo popularized some low-scoring SCI journals to Lu Chen, which was considered to be a high opinion of Lu Chen.

If other students asked, she would only advise them to publish a few core papers in China first.

As for SCI papers, they cannot be written without several years of study.

However, at this time, Lu Chen, sitting in the dormitory, was thinking about finding a medical journal with a score of 5-8.

This is not his wishful thinking.

In the process of writing the paper, Lu Chen read a lot of literature.

Although he could not accurately locate the level of his paper, he could roughly estimate a range.

For a blank field like this frontier hot spot, using the most appropriate statistical method, it is definitely not less than 5 points!

Of course, whether a 5-point journal can accept a manuscript depends on the polishing, typesetting, etc. of the paper.

The most important thing is the reviewer's opinion.

Some reviewers with regional bias are skeptical about Chinese papers.

This has caused a lot of trouble for Chinese scholars to a certain extent.

…

Since Senior Sister Sun Guoguo was not satisfied with his opinion, Lu Chen looked for it himself.

Hard work pays off.

Lu Chen found three pending journals.

They are Therapy-Nucleic Acids (MTNA for short), Cell, and Cell Death and Diease.

The impact factors are all around 5 points.

Except for MTNA, the other two are the journals with the highest submission rate of Chinese people, with the proportion of Chinese papers reaching more than 40% of the total, and the self-citation rate is very high!

Submission is relatively easy, but it also means that there may be a lot of water.

Lu Chen hesitated for a while, and finally set his sights on MTNA!

This is a popular medical journal in recent years. It was included in Cell last year. This year's impact factor is 5.45 points, and it is expected to break through to 7 points next year!

"Okay, I'll decide on this journal!" Lu Chen finally made up his mind.

After polishing the paper, he casually sent it to his tutor Li Yao.

Any graduate student who publishes a paper during school needs the consent of the tutor.

Without the tutor's instruction, even if the paper is accepted by the journal, it will be regarded as a violation, and it can even be directly regarded as data falsification!

...

Eight regions of the heart.

As soon as tutor Li Yao received Lu Chen's email, he directly downloaded the attachment and opened the document.

"It was translated into English so quickly?" Li Yao smiled, "This little guy is not small."

Translated into English, it must be published in a high-quality SCI journal.

"Let me see how good your article is."

Li Yao put aside other things at hand and began to concentrate on reviewing Lu Chen's paper.

As he read deeper, Li Yao was more and more surprised!

This is not like a paper written by a student at all...

Whether it is the English writing style, wording, experimental methods of the whole paper, or the statistical methods involved, all of them are like those written by a senior researcher with many years of experience.

Especially the statistical methods used in it, ordinary people cannot use so many methods.

And the methods used by Lu Chen are all the most appropriate.

It is not to say that the more methods, the better, but to use them just right to explain the questions you raise.

Lu Chen did an excellent job in this regard!

"This paper is of really high quality!" As a doctoral supervisor, Li Yao has seen too many good papers and too many rubbish graduate student papers!

At the end of the entire document, Li Yao also saw the journal that Lu Chen wanted to submit to - MTNA!

"He still wants to submit to MTNA?" Li Yao frowned.

The impact factor of this journal seems to be only five points, but because it may increase next year, the acceptance standard of MTNA will definitely increase during this period, and it may reach 7 points!

"Since he wants to submit this, let him submit it." Li Yao thought to herself, "Young people should face more setbacks and be down-to-earth. If the paper is rejected, let him change to a journal with a lower score."

In Li Yao's opinion, Lu Chen's paper is indeed very good, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the sample size is very small.

Generally, clinical research papers that can be published with high scores are large-scale clinical research projects, and the sample size is often tens of thousands.

Only in this way can there be a chance to publish a high-scoring SCI paper.

Li Yao estimated that Lu Chen's article could be published in a journal with a score of 3-5.

It would be difficult to publish a journal with a score higher than this!

...

After reading Lu Chen's paper, Li Yao slightly changed a few places for him, but it did not affect the overall structure and ideas of the paper.

After Lu Chen received the reply from Li Yao's tutor, he reorganized the paper according to her requirements.

The next day, Lu Chen submitted the paper!

MTNA's review period is usually 1-2 months.

During this period, Lu Chen can only wait patiently.

Clinical work is still the same as usual.

Lu Chen took the time to come to the catheter room, and under the guidance of Li Yao, cooperated with her to perform electrophysiological surgery.

"Well, that's it, go in a little further, and twist it again! Good, very good."

Li Yao stood beside Lu Chen and guided him to perform catheter operations on the patient.

Before, he had been operating in the simulated operating room, and today was Lu Chen's first time to operate on the stage in person.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but Lu Chen was more excited!

There is still a gap between virtual and real things!

The operation ended successfully.

"Congratulations, electrophysiological interventional surgery proficiency +0.5%!"

The proficiency of electrophysiological interventional surgery, which has always remained unchanged, finally loosened today!

Sure enough, after training to a certain level in the system simulation operating room, the proficiency is not easy to increase.

Only through real operations can the surgical degree be gradually improved!

"Well, Lu Chen, not bad, this first intraductal operation was very successful!"

Li Yao smiled and looked at her student. It must be said that Lu Chen is really a natural cardiologist.

This operation technique has been achieved by many practitioners after two to three years of hard practice.

"Teacher taught well." Lu Chen flattered him at the right time.

Li Yao smiled and suddenly said: "By the way, how is your paper? I think it's been about a month and a half."

Lu Chen took off his gloves and shook his head slightly: "No news yet."

For a paper, UU reading books wｗｗ． uukanshu． net cannot submit the same manuscript to multiple journals.

Once discovered, it will be directly blacklisted by major journals!

So, whether it is successful or not, Lu Chen can only wait for MTNA's reply.

Li Yao said in a deep voice: "If it doesn't work, you can take the initiative to send an email to ask. If it is rejected, you can switch to Cell. I know the deputy editor-in-chief of this journal..."

"Okay, teacher." Lu Chen nodded slightly.

The two-month review deadline is almost up.

Did he really overestimate the value of his paper?

As time passed, Lu Chen became less and less confident.

Back to the dormitory.

Lu Chen found the email address of MTNA journal and published an inquiry email according to the instructions of Professor Li Yao.

However, there was still no response!
