"This is definitely an opportunity to make a mark in medical history."
"Expert Lin, you need to quickly write a paper about this expansion application idea and publish it to secure the top position."
Lin Jie said somewhat confusedly, "We've only conducted preliminary experiments and many issues are still unresolved. Isn't it too early to publish a paper now?"
Yuan Guangxi exhaled a long breath and said, "Expert Lin, publishing the paper early is necessary and extremely necessary."
"Think about it carefully, the core of this concept is the idea itself."
"Other things like experiments and verifications can entirely be done by other medical institutions. You just need to disclose this idea to everyone."
Yuan Guangxi spoke urgently, "Expert Lin, this is where we've been careless. We didn't think deeply enough."
"When you proposed the concept of brain arteriovenous replacement, we only recognized its novelty and pioneering nature. We didn't further consider its potential widespread applications."
"This paper should have been written earlier, actually."
"Expert Lin, start writing now. If someone else steals this idea, the loss would be great."
Hearing this, Lin Jie was also persuaded.
He partially understood why both Yuan Guangxi and himself hadn't thought of this earlier.
This was Lin Jie's own project, and due to concerns about conflicts of interest, efforts to train Lin Jie, or other reasons, Yuan Guangxi and others only provided the greatest financial and other support, allowing Lin Jie to lead in research.
As for Lin Jie himself, he was indeed too young, severely lacking in project research experience, a typical case of taking one step at a time, feeling his way forward.
As for Shen Lanruo, unless Lin Jie first realized the situation, she would not prompt him.
Yuan Guangxi said with great expectations, "Perhaps internationally, there will be a new treatment method named after you."
"But it was my student Zhao Fang who came up with it!" Lin Jie corrected sternly.
Yuan Guangxi seriously said, "Although she thought of it, her idea stemmed from your project, lacking originality. And you are the head of this project, while she is just a team member and your student."
"Therefore, from whichever perspective, this concept can be attributed to your achievement."
When the call ended, Yuan Guangxi continued to remind, "Expert Lin, remember, start writing the paper today!"
After hanging up, Lin Jie still felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if he were taking Zhao Fang's research achievements for his own.
"Lin Jie, Dean Yuan is very right!"
Shen Lanruo's voice sounded calmly, "From any perspective, whether international standards or conventions, Zhao Fang's research achievements are all attributed to you because you are the project's leader."
"As Dean Yuan said, her idea is not original. It's merely an extension application of your core idea. Even if she hadn't thought of it, one day, you would certainly come up with it by analogy."
"However, as a reward, you can include Zhao Fang's name as an author on the paper, even sharing the importance with you, which is not a problem."
"But..."
Shen Lanruo emphasized heavily, "If a treatment method were to be named, the International Medical Committee would definitely use your name, not hers."
"This is a very serious matter. The International Medical Committee does not break international standards and conventions."
"Now, quickly write the paper!"
After Shen Lanruo urged him, she continued, "Let me remind you, Lin Jie, to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology, having research results isn't enough. You also need a high enough reputation."
"Awards are ultimately selected by people, and there's some bias involved. Ultimately, when facing multiple candidates, judges tend to show preference unless your research results overwhelmingly surpass others."
"However, achieving this is very difficult, extremely difficult. So, with roughly similar research results, to win an award, you need an undeniable, high level of fame."
"And publishing papers is the best way to boost your reputation."
At this point, Lin Jie no longer hesitated and also spoke with Zhao Fang over the phone, asking her to send all her experimental data to his email.
Meanwhile, he told her what Yuan Guangxi had said without holding back.
"Zhao Fang, I will write and submit this paper, and your name will be included."
"However, I need to make it clear that the honor and benefits of this paper, destined to cause a sensation, will primarily fall on me."
"Teacher, I know that!"
Zhao Fang sincerely said, "Without you, there is no me; without your brain arteriovenous replacement project, my concept wouldn't even be possible."
"To use a somewhat unrefined metaphor, you're the first to eat the crab, and I'm barely the second."
"The honor should naturally belong to the first one to eat the crab."
"Teacher, you don't need to include my name. Just getting your recognition makes me very, very happy."
Lin Jie exhaled lightly and said, "Zhao Fang, thank you for understanding!"
"I will write this paper well and submit it to the most authoritative journal."
Lin Jie spent an afternoon and an evening writing the paper, doing so in English.
He found that writing academic papers in English was smoother and more precise in expression, likely influenced by Shen Lanruo's memory.
Lin Jie felt somewhat uneasy in his heart as this paper mainly discussed the brain arteriovenous replacement research.
However, in the expansion application of this concept, it focused on describing Zhao Fang's liver arteriovenous exchange flushing experiment.
Furthermore, Lin Jie also described in the application forecast the potential clinical benefits of this concept in treating heart attacks, liver and kidney failures, etc.
In the paper's authorship, Zhao Fang was listed as the second author.
Shen Lanruo was very satisfied with the quality of the paper and recommended Lin Jie to submit it to "Nature."
"Nature" is a top international academic journal, enjoying a high reputation worldwide in the academic field.
It is a comprehensive international science weekly, which reports major discoveries and breakthroughs in the scientific world, requiring research results to be novel.
One could say there is no academic journal more authoritative than it.
Shen Lanruo said, "Lin Jie, given the theoretical level of your paper and the originality and broad applicability of the idea, it absolutely deserves to be published in 'Nature.'"
"Moreover, given your demonstrated capability in medical research, only 'Nature' is worthy of you, and only by publishing in 'Nature' can you become widely recognized by researchers from various countries."
"I'll give you an email; he is one of the reviewers for the physiology sciences submissions at 'Nature.' Just submit it to him."
