But due to professional instinct,

Wells sent these two articles to several statistical figures who had deep friendships with JAMA magazine.

And I also sent the article to several top professors in the rehabilitation department.

There are also some very professional things that still require them to evaluate the authenticity of this article and whether it is clinically meaningful.

Otherwise?

It is just a conjecture, and it is not clinically feasible or even contrary to the article. JAMA does not need it.

At the same time, for the sake of rigor.

…

This day.

A mathematics expert named Simon unfortunately received two requests for review articles from magazines at the same time.

When Simon saw these three articles, his head was a little big.

And they are all articles from the Department of Medicine.

Immediately Simon wanted to go crazy. After receiving the article, he kept cursing in the office: "Are all the editors of these magazines free of charge?"

"Send such a simple thing to me. Damn it, this is a waste of my time."

"They are all hindering my academic progress,"

But there was nothing Simon could do about it. It was not easy for him to refuse such a review request from a magazine.

This is where the relationship network comes from.

Since it is simple, Simon felt that it would be possible to complete the data analysis of three documents in three to five hours.

An hour later.

Simon was still writing in an article, thoughtfully.

Two hours later.

Simon was at his desk making calculations with a pen.

Three hours later, Simon was still tinkering with the same article and kept yelling:

"What the hell is going on? Is there something I didn't do well?"

“Or is there something wrong with the data itself?”

"No, I can't tell it's wrong until I find the right data."

"But, God, please tell me, why does this kind of data processing and graphics come from a medical journal instead of a top mathematics journal?"

"How big of a team did it take to calculate such a complicated thing?"

"I think I might have to work overtime this month."

"..."

…

Even more unfortunate than Simon.

A statistics professor initially had the same idea as Simon.

But later, he suddenly discovered that he was very good at processing data in R language, so what happened today?

Why can't I retell these images?

What happened?

Are all these damn editors freeloaders? Why don’t they know how to get the author’s source code?

Do you think I have too much hair?

…

One day later, Simon responded to the JAMA editorial department.

This article should not be reviewed by me.

So Simon responded:

"It is recommended to send it to experts in mechanics and physiology for another review. From the perspective of orthopedics and joint surgery, I highly recommend Lu's article to be published in your journal!"

…

Almost six hours later.

The editor-in-chief of JAMA magazine feels that his head is getting bigger again.

He looked at the expert's suggestion that he should be sent for external review, and sat there blankly, looking like he wanted to die.

"The joint department asked me to take physics and physiology."

"The rehabilitation department suggested that I send him to statistics."

"For statistics, I suggested that I send it to the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics."

"The math department also asked me to take physics."

"For physics, let me study mechanics and mechanics."

"God, won't you bless me today?"

"I am your most honest believer!"

"..."

Wells finally chose to give up the idea of ​​reviewing the manuscript, and then contacted the original author directly via email.

The original author was also very cooperative and packaged all the verification processes together and submitted them as supplementary documents.

Just, after Wells downloaded the supplementary file!

I feel like I'm missing.

There are hundreds of thousands of raw data, calculation processes, different statistical data, there are processes, there are results, and there are also data at different stages...

Wells felt that this article could not be reviewed at all!

You must know that the data, icons and various graphics that appear in the article have all been processed. Such data that is easier to read has exhausted some of my friends who reviewed it. If

If these raw data are obtained, then?

The time may be measured in years.

However, Wells very sensitively captured the vastness of the subject undertaken by the author and the huge impact of the results.

So he planned to visit Lu Cheng in person, and then Lu Cheng would be the reviewer and editor of his own article, because Lu Cheng was definitely the person who knew his article best.

If this article is lost due to review issues in your own magazine, it will be a huge loss to the magazine.

However, Wells felt that for the sake of rigor, Wells contacted Lu Cheng again: "Dear Lu, our editorial department has already read the article and raw data you sent. Unfortunately,

It takes a long time for us to proofread and review the data."

"So I hope you can wait patiently during this process."

"We will send our editor to China to contact you in person. Is your contact address true?"

When Lu Cheng saw Wells' message, he was slightly stunned.

Lu Cheng thought that the editorial department wanted him to add something. After all, Fang Nixin said that the submission and review process for JAMA was very cumbersome and might involve dozens or even hundreds of revisions. He hoped that

Lu Cheng can be mentally prepared.

What does it mean that the editorial department is coming to Shashi in China?

"The mailing address is real. You can contact me through my email." Lu Cheng replied politely.

Then two days passed.

Wells and Cleese took a flight and landed in Shashi, then took a taxi to the address of the Second Xiangya Hospital.

Wells and Cleese asked if there was a person named Lu Cheng in the hospital. He arrived at around 7 o'clock in the evening. They were on the plane and could not send an email to Lu Cheng. After getting off the plane, they sent an email to Lu Cheng.

Cheng did not reply.

After they revealed their identities and showed them their IDs, the people in the emergency room hurriedly reported the news that the editor-in-chief of JAMA editorial department was looking for Lu Cheng.

.

Then Yu Youlin, the current director of emergency surgery in the emergency department, personally came to the hospital to accompany him. Then he, Wells and Cleese came to the outside of the examination room where Lu Cheng was taking the exam, and said apologetically: "Wells

Professor, Professor Kress, I'm very sorry, Lu Cheng is currently a doctoral student in our hospital and is currently taking the medical statistics exam. So I have to ask you to wait a moment."

PhD?

student?

Medical statistics exam?
