170 Filled with Energy (2/2)

In comparison, the Key Magazine of China Technology pointed to the China Science and Technology Journal Database. Most people believed that the Key Magazine of China Technology was less illustrious than the National Peking University Library's Catalogue of Journals, which was also why it was easier for people to have their articles published in it.

Su Jiafu looked at Ling Ran before he added. ”The Key Magazine of China Technology is considered an A-list journal in our hospital, it'll be good enough.”

The A-list, B-list, and C-list journals were decided by the departments. When the inner circle of Yun Hua Hospital wanted to employ a doctor who had no connections to the hospital, the associate chief physicians they wanted to employ would have to have published an article in an A-list journal, while the chief physicians they wanted to employ would have to have published two articles in A-list journals. The attending physicians they wanted to employ would also have to have published an article in a B-list journal. Furthermore, whenever they graded the medical staff every year, the marks given to the staff would also differ based on the ranks of the journals their articles were published.

Naturally, this was the most basic guideline. Each department had its own policies. For example, the Emergency Department did not ask too much of their medical staff, but the elite Hand Surgery Department required their associate chief physicians to publish articles in the SCI.

The Department of Anesthesiology used the standards of the hospital to grade their staff. Because of it, to Su Jiafu and Ling Ran, if they only wanted to gain academic titles via publishing research papers, they could do so with the power of an A-list journal.

However, Lu Wenbin pursed his lips and said, ”Doctor Ling published an article in one of the journals under China before. You're only thinking about publishing in the Key Magazine of China Technology, but you're using him as your own personal worker, you know?”

Journals under China meant that the journals were created by China itself. These journals were sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. Their influence was quite high. Many of the journals under them had an even higher standard than SCI itself, which meant that it was even more difficult to publish articles in those journals. In the medical world, these journals were ranked even higher than core journals.

Su Jiafu could not help but blush. He said, ”I know that Doctor Ling once published an article in Chinese Critical Care Medicine, but are you going to ignore braised pork after eating squid and sea cucumbers?”

”That analogy of yours is…” Lu Wenbin turned his head around and looked at his pork trotters, and he felt that constantly belittling braised pork was not good.

”I'd want to publish articles in journals under China as well if I can.” Su Jiafu was slightly older. He began using his mind, which had scored him over six hundred marks during the college entrance examinations, to think. He quietly brought out his phone, scanned the QR code beside the pork trotter, and bought four pork trotters in one go. He then split it up between Ling Ran, Lu Wenbin, Ma Yanlin, and himself before he said with a smile, ”I was thinking about it this way. Let's gather up materials first. With medical cases as a foundation, I can write the article. At that time, if I have hopes of publishing the article in journals under China, then I'll send it to those journals. If I don't have hopes of getting them published in those journals, then I'll publish it in Chinese core journals. If both are impossible, I'll definitely publish it in the Key Magazine of China Technology. At least we won't be wasting our time that way.”

He already made a promise earlier that he would place Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin as second authors. To Ma Yanlin the houseman, this was naturally a joyous piece of news, but it was clearly not enough to bring Lu Wenbin over to his side.

After all, being placed as second authors in an article did nothing to help a person gain an academic title. In a utilitarian standpoint, being placed as the second author was only a show. At most, it simply added to the number of times a person was relegated as the second author in articles.

However, when he looked at the pork trotter in his hand, Lu Wenbin became a little docile. He looked towards Ling Ran and asked, ”Doctor Ling, what do you think?”

”How many medical cases do you think you need to publish your article in a journal under China?” Ling Ran asked casually, but that question stunned the trio so much that their eyelids twitched.

”Around… thirty to forty, and we also need to conduct follow-ups. We should be able to get the article in a journal under China by then.” Su Jiafu gritted his teeth before he continued. ”Let me handle the follow-up. You just need to gather up enough medical cases.”

Before Ling Ran could even nod, a flash of golden light shone ahead of him.

[Mission: Fifty amputated finger replantation surgeries]

[Mission reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]

Ling Ran's expression did not change. He said, ”Let's do fifty cases. Then I'll leave the rest to you.”

Once he was done talking, Ling Ran finished up his pork trotter, brought out his phone, and under the trio's terrified gazes, he called Huo Congjun.

”Department Director Huo, we just finished our discussion. We'll be doing fifty finger replantation surgeries. Yes. The requirements will be the same as before… We can also gather together these medical cases and materials to write a research paper in the point of view of the Hand Surgery Department… Alright, fifty finger replantation surgeries and two articles!”

Ling Ran put down his phone and said to Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin in a composed manner, ”Go and take a nap. The new patients will be arriving by noon.”

”Aren't you tired?” When Lu Wenbin asked this question, the corners of his lips quivered.

”Me? I feel like I'm filled with energy right now.” By that, Ling Ran meant that he currently had one hundred and ten Energy Serums in his storage.
