When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1256: Trouble Comes Knocking

Chen Cang quickly picked up the phone and said with a smile to Tan Zhengyang, “Chief Editor Tan, my apologies for keeping you waiting.”

Tan Zhengyang let out a soft “hmm” and said, “Professor Chen, you might not be very familiar with our journal. Allow me to introduce myself.”

“The *New Edition of the Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery* is a publication overseen by the National Health Commission and the Ministry of Education. Several leaders of the healthcare system hold concurrent positions at our journal.

Founded in 2015, it has now been indexed by SCI with an impact factor of 1.2.”

There was a distinct tone in Tan Zhengyang’s speech, characteristic of someone long entrenched in the administrative system.

This tone was different from that of healthcare professionals working clinically.

It carried an air of authority, as if he was intentionally trying to lower himself to engage with you, yet somehow still creating a sense of detachment.

However, Chen Cang was no fool. Smiling, he flattered, “Impressive, Chief Editor Tan! Achieving SCI indexing in just five years is truly remarkable!”

Although Chen Cang’s words were complimentary, he had to admit it was genuinely no small feat.

The standards for indexing in the SCI database are undeniably high.

Moreover, it signified entering the global stage.

Tan Zhengyang, clearly proud, finally allowed himself a slight smile after hearing Chen’s praise:

“Professor Chen, I extended the invitation to you based on Professor Sun Zhong’s recommendation. Although our journal started relatively late, as long as we work together, it can develop very quickly!”
