Chapter 658: Paper Publishing (Part 2)
As the editor of Nature, Neo must have a scientific and technological cognition that is far beyond ordinary people. He can be a generalist, that is, he has some understanding of almost all industries and can judge whether a new technology or research direction is valuable. However, he is not a real expert in a certain field. He can only roughly judge whether this paper is worthy of review and review by real experts.
Now, in the video, he saw some stained cells flowing in the bones of several different animals, and saw the recommendation letter attached to the front of the paper by almost all professors of the School of Medicine of Shuimu University. When he turned to the content of the paper, he could hardly suppress his excitement.
Could it be that while human anatomy has stopped for many years, another new organ has been discovered?
The paper is very professional, but what surprised Neo was that it was actually two papers. One was a complete article containing the observation papers and pictures and videos of several different animals. The other was a simple and obvious paper that was simplified in response to the publication requirements of Nature. There were four pictures of one thousand words, and only the pictures of the observation and processing of the legs of mice will not exceed two and a half pages of the magazine. However, it has included in a very detailed process of processing and observing the legs of mice, which can fully illustrate the problem.
If you look at the latter streamlined paper, as long as the reviewer nods, he can publish it in the weekly magazine "Nature" without any modifications. The more complete paper seems to be considered for publishing the full text in the supplementary journal. Of course, this streamlined paper is obviously written by Dean Zheng and Professor Yang, but they have no signatures, and there is only one author signature, Guo Tailai, School of Medicine, Shuimu University.
After reading the paper, Neo himself was a little unsure. Do you want to say that the paper is nonsense? People have photos and videos as evidence. But if you want to admit that a new organ has been discovered? Neo's own professional level is not enough to make him make enough judgments. There is also a letter of recommendation from all professors of the entire Shuimu University School of Medicine. The unit of this paper is from the Shuimu University School of Medicine. It seems that it is very likely that it is true!
Forget it, this is not something you can decide, so I'd better send it to the reviewer! But if the reviewer thinks this discovery is valid, then this streamlined paper can be published next week, and the entire paper can be placed in the supplementary issue of the month. Even these accompanying videos can be placed on the official website of Nature and let the interested people download and view it.
If you really discover a new organ, it is probably not as simple as discovering a new organ in the medical community? A series of professional research can be made around the new treatment methods brought by this new organ, the principles of the occurrence of certain diseases, etc.
Well, the above things that may happen are not important. What is important is that Neo is looking forward to seeing temporary changes in human anatomy textbooks. Students from medical schools who are going to school next semester may have the opportunity to use the latest version of textbooks? Even the way to save money by buying old textbooks has been blocked. How fun?
Under Neo's attention, the reviewer gave a reply in just one day. The content was completely free. The paper did not need to be modified and could be published directly. In fact, the argument given by Guo Tailai in this article was too sufficient. Although there was not enough space in the paper, the video and more high-definition pictures have already explained many problems. People who truly understand the profession can understand the doubts after reading it once. Originally, the reviewer had many problems, but after watching the video, there were almost no problems.
The contact address of the paper was filled in at the School of Medicine of Shuimu University. Professor Yang received an email from the paper as soon as possible. Obviously, this news was not surprising to Professor Yang or Dean Zheng. They even felt that such a foregone conclusion was not worth notifying Guo Tailai. He was so busy that he had a paper with a nano-microneedle on his hand, so there was no need to disturb him.
So while Guo Tailai's Gulfstream business jet flew to Los Angeles, the latest issue of Nature magazine was released in July, which published Guo Tailai's streamlined paper. Of course, at the end of the paper, the editor made an annotation, and the full results of other animal experiments will be published in the supplementary issue of this month, and it also stated that the pictures and videos involved in the paper are available for reading and downloading on the official website of Nature.
Then, as expected by these professors from the School of Medicine of Shuimu University, as expected by the editor of Nho and the reviewer of the draft, the medical community, especially those who do research and teaching in the college, were blown up!
A new organ was discovered! How is this possible? Although the paper in black and white text said it was found on the bones of a mouse's legs, and the complete paper may have some mammals such as rabbits and monkeys, is this far from the discovery of the human body?
Professor Zheng and his team have already started to arrange students to conduct relevant research half a month in advance. Although they can delay the time of publication of the paper, they are not willing to do this. There is no need. The period from submission review to publication is enough to be one step ahead. Moreover, for the first time, they discovered that their major honor belongs to the School of Medicine of Shuimu University, and Guo Tailai is from the School of Medicine, without any problem.
Countless people from all over the world flocked to the official website of Nature magazine, just to download those videos and pictures, and the traffic brought by this almost caused the official website to collapse instantly.
Some people immediately began to try to repeat Guo Tailai's experiment. The experimental process itself was not complicated, but it only required superb knife skills and exquisite anesthesia skills. Some immune cells were stained and the color of leg bones was removed for observation while the mouse was still alive. Many people failed, but without exception, the mice were killed by them. However, the leg bones were indeed transparent, and the distribution of non-flowing blood in the leg bones could be seen. The only difference was the live video of Guo Tailai. But this was enough to illustrate the correctness found in the paper.
The textbook of human anatomy is really going to be changed. People who understand it all sigh like this. Not only that, some of the new pathology and treatment methods brought about may be able to write hundreds of papers in a short period of time. It is not a problem to delay a little longer, and the number of citations is probably going to explode.
"Fatty, you have a paper from SCN (three top journals of "Science", "Cell" and "Nature"). Have you met the graduation requirements?" Zhao Xiangbei from Beijing received the news and called Guo Tailai specifically.
Chapter completed!
