Liu Muqiao's heart tightened.
The message read: "Just now, I have received notices from several well-known magazines that all recent manuscript requests have been cancelled."
Liu Muqiao was stunned for a moment.
Then he sneered a few times.
He sent back a message and said: "Tell them that I need an explanation for this rude behavior. If there is not even a reasonable explanation, I'm sorry, I, Liu Maqiao, and the team I lead will no longer be with them."
Publish any article in a journal."
He felt that it was not domineering enough, so he wrote a few more sentences: "If they want to become a second-rate journal, then their president can remain silent."
Liu Muqiao moved his feet. Although he said a few words to relieve his anger, the anger did not completely dissipate.
Damn it, who is doing this?
Several major journals want to block it, haha, it’s really ridiculous.
Of course, if medical results are not published in top journals, their international influence will be much lower, and the author himself will also be affected. However, for a big-name figure like Liu Maqiao, if several major journals want to ban him, they will probably kill 10,000 enemies.
Self-loss of 20,000.
Liu Muqiao was dissatisfied. The world is so big and the reputation of Antai Hospital needs to be promoted. These major journals are indeed unkind.
But what can be done?
If someone is willing to be harmed and refuse to publish Liu Muqiao's article, then fine, I will carry the "Zhonghua" brand journal!
The international influence of Zhonghua brand journals is still relatively limited. From now on, my articles, Liu Miqiao, will only be published in journals with a "medium" font size. Maybe there will be one more "medium" font size among the top journals in the world.
Journal.
Thinking of this, Liu Miqiao felt slightly better.
At this time, the mobile phone rang.
Well, an overseas phone call.
"Mr. Liu Miqiao? I am Haoli, the president of The Lancet. There is one thing. I am very sorry. I cannot accept your submission. It is not that we are unwilling, but... I want to explain that there is nothing we can do..."<
/p>
Liu Muqiao said impatiently: "Mr. Haoli, just tell me who doesn't want you to accept my manuscript. If you tell me clearly, we can meet in the future. If you don't tell me, we will never have contact with each other from now on."<
/p>
Haoli hesitated and said: "Well, I have a hard time saying it. You know, 5 of our 7 board members have accepted sponsorship from Hopkins Hospital. In addition, we have huge cooperation with them.
."
"Well, thank you, I understand. Goodbye then." Liu Maqiao suddenly felt a huge dislike for Hopkins.
He didn't want to say anything to Haoli, so what was the point of explaining anymore?
Liu Muqiao forcibly hung up Haoli's call.
Not long after, Liu Muqiao received several more calls. The presidents of "BMJ", "NEJM", and "JAMA" all called.
They are also very conflicted. They can't do anything about Hopkins Hospital, but they also feel that losing Liu Maqiao's article is very detrimental to them and is very painful.
Liu Muqiao was not polite. He just confirmed whether Hopkins Hospital was causing trouble. After getting the confirmation, he did not give him much comfort and hung up the phone after a few words.
You can imagine that after the other party hung up the phone, their expression of pain must be very rich.
Liu Muqiao informed Zou Qingxiang, Professor He, Tang Hui, Song Baibai, and Zhu Yaguang to withdraw the articles submitted to journals such as "BMJ" and submit them all to the journal "China". Concentrate their firepower and submit more than two articles in each discipline.
High-level articles.
The first author is Liu Muqiao.
A few hours later, the call Liu Muqiao was waiting for finally came as scheduled.
"I am Hu Fei, the editor-in-chief of "China" journal, are you Dr. Liu?"
"I am Liu Muqiao. Hello, Mr. Hu."
"I just received some of your masterpieces. I am both surprised and worried. What are you..."
Editor-in-chief Hu Fei was very surprised. Articles like Liu Miqiao could be submitted to the "China" journal, but why were so many articles suddenly submitted?
Are we that familiar?
Do we have such a deep friendship?
Sometimes happiness comes too quickly and the sense of reality is not strong.
This is the situation now for Editor-in-Chief Hu.
You know, where to submit Liu Muqiao's paper depends on his mood and friendship with him. Of course, the most important thing is that the journal whose journal is more famous will be submitted.
"To be honest, there are several major journals that are preparing to ban me. Suddenly I remembered, can't our 'medium' font also become the world's top journal?" Liu Muqiao explained.
"What...can we also become the world's top journal? You mean, are you ready to help me?" Chief Editor Hu Fei said excitedly.
"I have an idea. Within 5 years, my articles and my team's articles will only be published in your "China" journal. Of course, we can also have a longer-term cooperation, 10 years, you can consider it.
."
Liu Muqiao did not dare to say too long, because it is difficult to say what Antai Hospital will look like in 10 years.
It may be a large hospital with 5,000 beds, a group hospital, or an affiliated hospital of Qingjiang University.
Who can predict what will happen ten years from now?
When Liu Muqiao said this, Editor-in-Chief Hu didn't speak for a long time, only sobbing.
Crying?
Just cry.
Editor-in-Chief Hu knows the weight of Liu Miqiao’s words just now. If we cooperate with Liu Miqiao for 5 years, I, Hu, will not be able to achieve great success?
The journal "China" is a first-class journal in China. However, as a second-rate journal internationally, there is still a certain gap between it and a first-class journal, and there is still a big gap between it and super journals such as "BMJ".
p>
If there are super medical experts who regularly contribute articles, such as rising stars like Liu Miqiao, and they cooperate with him, it will be impossible for the "China" journal not to make progress.
In particular, Editor-in-Chief Hu noticed that a large number of Liu Muqiao's achievements were shocking. Such articles are hard to buy for a lot of money.
"Dr. Liu, is this okay? Your team's submissions are divided into three categories. The first category is for papers signed with your name, and I charge 100 yuan per word; the second category is for papers written by your main assistant.
, 10 to 30 yuan per word; the third category, those articles for promotion, I will get a 40% discount on the page fee." Chief Editor Hu calculated a price.
This is a conscientious price.
The price he usually gives to academicians is 30 to 50 yuan per word, but he raised it to 100 yuan for Liu Miqiao. That is because he sincerely wants to cooperate.
Liu Muqiao smiled and said, "If my article says it's free for you, you won't agree. Let's do it this way. For 30 yuan per word, I can buy a few kilograms of meat for my brothers to replenish their bodies. For the rest, just do what you just said."
You can do whatever you say."
"30 yuan per word? No, Dr. Liu, your articles are all short and concise. I noticed that your longest article is only 3,500 words. Calculated in this way, it only costs 100,000 yuan."
Editor-in-chief Hu is still a conscientious person. The key is that he really wants to become friends with Liu Miqiao.
"100,000 yuan for an article is high enough." Liu Maqiao said with a smile.
"No, let's take a step back and I'll give you 50 yuan per word." Chief Editor Hu insisted.
