leading to the throne

Chapter 68 It's worth it!

"I know how the paper you mentioned was sent through. Sometimes, we can't succumb to the threats of academic bosses!"

Without waiting for Dr. Philip to explain further, Dean Brendan had a showdown: "Anfield had some achievements in the past, but now he has left Desai, he is just an ordinary dean of the medical school, you should not recommend him because of his recommendation Just blind trust! The process that should go, still has to go!"

Like many other academic journals, Continental Medicine has a three-round review mechanism.

The first round is the initial review by the executive editor.

This link will filter out more than 90.00% of the submissions.You know, as one of the few academic journals in the old continent, the workload of the editorial department is very heavy.Only a small number of selected articles have the opportunity to enter the next round, and most of them will be required to be revised.

The second round is the evaluation of the audit department and external audit.

As mentioned earlier, there are currently five resident deacons in the audit department, one of whom is the rotating chairman, and changes every month.The chairman has the power to convene deliberations, make recommendations and give special permission.The experts in charge of external review are distributed throughout the Old Continent, and are generally top figures in various medical fields. Generally speaking, a paper will be sent to at least four experts in related fields.

This round is also not easy to pass. Even approved papers often have to go through long and repeated revisions before they can be finalized.

In contrast, the third round of editor-in-chief review was relatively easy. In this round, very few manuscripts were rejected.

Back to the review department, although the five reviewers will change, the selection criteria are the same - they are all big names in the academic circles within the central area of ​​Clovis.

No matter how you count, among the current reviewers, Brendan Marty is the oldest one.His life is legendary, and even now, as the dean of Desai No. [-] Hospital, he has a pivotal influence in the academic and business circles.

It is worth mentioning that Dean Brendan is not only the rotating chairman for the next month, but also the teacher of Dr. Calvin Hull.Therefore, in the face of Dr. Philip's proposal, his objection is logical.

Such a result was also foreseeable by the other three people. They did not participate in the debate, but stood by and watched the changes.After all, Dr. Philip is also a senior academician of the Clovis Academy of Sciences, and as a descendant of aristocrats, he has extraordinary money and connections.

Neither of them is easy to offend.

"I know what you mean," Dr. Philip pushed his glasses, "in another day, you will be the rotating chairman, but this article was delivered today, and it is still under my management! I must emphasize that I do not It will be biased because the recommender is Mr. Anfield!"

He pointed to the copies of the papers on the desks of several people, and said seriously: "Arguing is meaningless, why not go back to the problem itself? Let's take a look at this paper. I think you will give a fair answer." judge."

The other three nodded secretly. Since they were summoned, they had to read the content no matter what.In this regard, Dean Brendan has no reason to object.

"So, Dr. Philip, what is this paper about?"

Hugo Cardona, dean of Central College's School of Medicine and chief advisor to the Clovis and Brussolen Joint Research Center, picked up the paper and asked casually.

"About demonic illness." Dr. Philip replied simply: "The author of the paper summarized the characteristics of demonic illness."

Quiet.

Mr. Ugo Cardona stopped his movements and exchanged glances with the others. Finally, their gazes fell on Dean Brendan.

The old man's face was ugly, and he said, "Are you going to use a thesis on demonic diseases to replace Calvin's paper on demonic diseases, which Calvin spent several years working on with Waldsey's full assistance?"

"They can be published at the same time." Dr. Philip sincerely suggested, "But I think you'd better let Calvin's paper be taken down, which is the best for him."

"Heh!" Brendan sneered, "Why did you ask Calvin to back down?" He picked up the copy on his desk, "Colin B. Varlaine, who is this? You asked Calvin to be in front of you." Back away from a nobody?"

"I hope you can calm down, let's discuss the facts." Philip signaled others to open the paper first, "In academic research, qualifications are of course important, but sometimes, when faced with groundbreaking research results, It is not a wise choice to rely on contacts and qualifications to force yourself to be ahead."

Brendan did not continue to refute, but opened the paper in front of him with a sneer, glanced at it briefly, and wanted to find some content to criticize, but soon, his expression changed slightly.

On the opposite side, Hugo Cardona and the others had opened earlier, so they had already seen the key points, one by one, their eyes widened, their brows frowned in thought, or their faces showed hesitation.

Finally, they all looked at Philip.

"The following is the reappearance information of Mr. Anfield and his students on several phenomena in the paper," Dr. Philip understood what they wanted to ask.

"This is impossible!"

Suddenly, Dean Brendan looked up!

"Regarding the research on the characteristics of demonic diseases, Waldsey is at the forefront! Secondly, Calvin's team!" His voice was urgent and high-pitched, trying to give himself confidence, "Their results will be better than those of others." The last nobody? It's not 50 years ago!"

"That's why I invited everyone here," Dr. Philip smiled elegantly when he saw the old guy's appearance, "We will conduct an appraisal together, and if we pass, we will start the external review."

"Is there enough time?" Old Dean Brendan took a deep breath and calmed down, "Suddenly adding an article may prevent the January issue from being printed on time!" He was trying to delay.

"Don't you think that such results are really worth postponing the journal?" Dr. Philip asked back: "This is also the reason why I think Calvin's research results should not be released, because there are differences between his research and the content of this paper." Contradictions and conflicts! If Mr. Varlin's research is correct, then Dr. Calvin's conclusions will be overturned in the shortest possible time, which will be detrimental to his reputation and commercial value."

On the same day, in the same journal, the content in the same field was published, but the content was different. If one was correct, the other would naturally be slapped in the face on the spot!

Of course, even a gap of one month was enough to make Calvin the laughingstock of the circle.

"I think Dr. Philip is right!" Ugo Cardona and others have already started to stand in line. They are very clear about what this paper means. "You should ask Calvin to think about it."

Brendan's brow was already sweating.

Many things are like a layer of window paper. If no one mentions it, it will often take several years, ten years, or even decades of detours to be discovered, because no one has dabbled in the past, and there are too many directions to choose , Most of them are wrong, and trial and error will consume most people's energy and time.

Brendan also has a profound attainment in demonic diseases, and has accumulated a lot. After reading this paper, it is like being pierced through the window paper. He can roughly distinguish the truth from the fake. Naturally, he knows that what Philip said is not alarmist.

This is not over yet, Dr. Philip followed up and said: "As far as I know, this paper has only been sent to our family!"

His eyes swept over the others: "I think you all know what this means! The academic influence of the Old World is constantly weakening, and the reason is that research in emerging fields is falling behind one after another. Nowadays, even researchers in the Old World , will also give priority to New World's "Global Medicine" and Yansa Island's "Operating Table" as the preferred platform, in this case, we still have to miss such a paper?"

"Very reasonable! Very reasonable!"

Hugo Cardona and others were very moved. You must know that academic influence is a real thing that can be realized, and it is also helpful to their research projects.In contrast, Brendan's repeated blocking seemed inappropriate.

In the end, Ugo Cardona couldn't help saying: "This paper is obviously groundbreaking, and this may be an opportunity for us to surpass the New World! At least this time, we have the opportunity to surpass."

"Overtake Waldsey? How is this possible!" Brendan stood up and walked out angrily, "Since you have already made a decision and the number of people is enough, I don't need to worry about it! I still say that If so, you shouldn’t be too eager to launch it!”

But how can Hugo Cardona and others worry about him?As soon as the people left, they immediately started discussing enthusiastically.

Ugo Cardona even said directly: "I think the concerns of old Dean Brendan are justified. If we start the external audit and cooperate with the verification experiment, it will be a waste of time..."

"Then what's your opinion?" Dr. Philip heard the overtones.

Ugo Cardona said with a smile: "The four of us conduct reproduction experiments, as long as they can be reproduced, then it is enough to make a judgment! I believe that people who read this paper will not think that we are arbitrary!"

The other person nodded in agreement, and said: "I can't wait to see what the expressions of those journals related to the New Continent will be when the new issue of "Continental Medicine" is released! It is time for them to experience this backwardness. It feels like someone else is stepping up!"

Another person said: "I think we should get in touch with the author. There is no detailed contact information on the paper, which is really inappropriate!"

"I will communicate with Mr. Anfield in time. I think that the old dean probably wants to hide this Mr. Varlin." Dr. Philip smiled with everyone, "Now, let's read carefully Let’s go through it again! The content inside is also an important inspiration for us!”

"Of course!"

the other side.

Elder Dean Brendan, who had left the audit department, returned to his office when he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Dr. Calvin's confident voice came out, and he spoke quickly, "I guess, is it because of the latest paper? Don't worry, the relevant experimental records are very It will be sent to you soon..."

"How many papers did you submit to for that paper?" Brendan interrupted the chatter on the other side.

"Four, three of them are from the New World, and the other one is the "Continental Medicine" where you are. Of course, this is for your sake, otherwise I probably wouldn't choose a journal from the Old World." Here comes Calvin's question, "Why do you ask this?"

"Remove the paper!" The old dean said eagerly.

There was a momentary silence on the phone, and after a while, Calvin asked puzzledly: "You mean to take down the article in "Continental Medicine" in order to evade the principle? But I don't think it's necessary because..."

"There is another paper! The content is not good for you!" Brendan didn't hide it, "I will find a way to make a copy of that paper for you and send it over. You will know after reading it!"

After a while, he hung up the phone amidst Calvin's puzzled inquiries, and then turned over his hands before recovering.

"Damn it, I was in such a hurry, I should get my share back, and now I have to make another trip."

For such an important and unpublished paper, he had to go there in person to get it back. If he wanted someone to do it for him, it required complicated procedures.

However, when Brendan was about to leave, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A slender, silver-haired man walked in, and he saluted the old man: "Hello, Professor Brendan Marty, I'm Kliman from Dissing Group, we have something to ask for your help."

"I'm in a hurry right now." Brendan shook his head, "I'll wait until I have anything to say."

"I'm afraid not." The silver-haired Kleeman took out a medal before the old man got angry. "This is what the lord wants. I hope you can cooperate."

Brendan's eyes widened, and then he changed his words: "Wait a minute, I have to make a call."

"You can take a taxi on the road, the car is already waiting for you below."

"Well, it looks like you are really in a hurry." Brendan felt ominous. He could probably guess that when he called the audit department, those few people would definitely be able to guess what his purpose was. .

They will not let themselves get the paper easily.

"Oh, I am willing to help, but this thesis is too important, and the necessary procedures still have to go, can't you come here in person? It's a pity, it will take some time!"

When the business-like tone of Dr. Philip was heard on the phone, the angry old dean could only act in a hurry, because the extended LMW he took had already left Desay City.

"Where are we going?" Brendan asked angrily.

"Fort Bolsen." The silver-haired Kleeman maintained a smile.

"Bolsenburg? Well, not too bad."

Dean Brendan actually calmed down, because he remembered that the new student at Anfield was in Bolsonburg.

"I believe Philip and the others must be trying their best to contact him, but maybe I'm the first person to meet him."

"The tram better go faster, or I'll be late for the afternoon shift."

Colin, who was talked about by everyone, was sitting on the tram at this time.

After cleaning the orange cat, he didn't even bother to eat, so he hurriedly found a barber shop and simply dyed his hair. Although the effect was not good, it could be used as a temporary cover, and then he hurriedly started commuting to work road.

Dealing with Miss Petty and coloring his hair took too much time, making his time a little tight and a little anxious.

However, when Colin saw the vehicles and pedestrians outside the car window as usual, a question popped up in his mind——

"There was such a big commotion yesterday, but in the past ten hours or so, everything in the city is back to normal. How did the authorities do it?"

From the side, an unhurried voice sounded——

"Perhaps I can explain."

Galmar Miller, dressed in black and translucent, smiled and saluted Colin.

　The second is more likely to be later...

　　Due to the revision and deletion of the previous article, a small omission was involved, and it has been revised.
