"Shuimu University Journal - Medical Edition".

The journal of Shuimu University can’t be that strict, can it?
Reality proves otherwise.
The editorial office of the Shuimu University Journal works very efficiently. By the next morning, they sent an email stating, "Your paper does not meet the requirements for publication (the content of your paper is nonsense, I can hardly believe it)."
Zhao Yi stared at the rejection, understanding why they refused him. The ’hypothesis on disease mechanism’ was hard to believe. Some concepts are not difficult to verify. If it was a professional medical researcher, they would certainly verify it before publishing.
Moreover, even if some parts could not be verified, no one would include these in a paper.
That’s because medical research focuses more on facts. Only with factual basis can research on disease treatment and prevention be carried out. Otherwise, it would not only end up in vain but also potentially cause tremendous harm.
Mathematics and Physics are different.
The sophisticated research in Mathematics and Physics could not be applied in a short period of time. They would merely make a conjecture or assumption and then spend a lot of time verifying it.
Understanding is one thing, but it’s still a bummer!
Zhao Yi decided to submit his paper to the Yanhua University Journal of Life Sciences. Although the journal of Yanhua University School of Life Sciences was not as influential as the medical journal of Shuimu University, the School of Life Sciences at Yanhua University had top-notch research in biomedicine and microbiology, and its journal also had a certain influence.
"This could be considered as ’exported to domestic sales’."
"I am originally a student of Yanhua University and will also attend the School of Life Sciences, so..."
"Submitting to the journal of my own school is a natural course of action!"
Zhao Yi’s mood lifted a bit.
The Yanhua University Journal of Life Sciences is the journal of the School of Life Sciences. Some sections are reserved for paper publication, and some are specifically for the students of the School of Life Sciences, with the majority accepted from within the school, and its own laboratories and research institutes.
Zhao Haitao is the first reviewer of the biomedical module. He is not a professional researcher, but a staff member of the logistics department. His job is not to check the content of the paper, but to exclude ’not possible to publish’ submissions.
These submissions either do not conform to requirements or seem unprofessional.
Furthermore, papers too profound to be understood would also be excluded. After all, they are just ordinary academic papers, and it is unnecessary to publish content too esoteric.
During the holiday, Zhao Haitao’s work is relatively free, as there are fewer submissions. The content for the next issue of the journal was established half a month ago, making the review work much easier.
When he came across a paper titled ’Hypothesis on the Role of Human Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Viral Myocarditis’, Zhao Haitao immediately categorized it as ’unprofessional’. He planned to copy the rejection notice to reply, but then he noticed the author.
"Zhao Yi?"
"Sounds familiar."
Checking the author’s information, Zhao Haitao found a phone number. He didn’t dial it straight away. Instead, he called his acquaintance, Wei Shiqing, "Professor Wei, is this Zhao Yi’s phone number?"
Wei Shiqing checked his contact list and asked with confusion, "It’s Zhao Yi. Do you need him for something?"
"Just a matter about a paper."
Zhao Haitao didn’t explain further, he hung up the phone and gave the paper a pass with a note, "Zhao Yi’s paper (Collatz Theorem Zhao Yi)."
Once passed by the first reviewer, the paper would be sent to the specialty reviewer’s email.
The Yanhua University Journal of Life Sciences has more than a dozen reviewers, all of them professors, researchers in the school, and those with the least qualifications are associate professors and associate researchers. The paper was directly sent to a biology professor’s mailbox.
The professor’s name is Deng Shufang.
Deng Shufang, nearing fifty, ceased conducting scientific research after being promoted to professor. He proceeded to devote himself to management duties in his school, taking up the post of Academic Affairs Head.
Despite that Deng Shufang was not engaged in scientific research, he had previously worked in it and achieved the title of ’Professor’. He has always been responsible for reviewing the Yanhua University Journal of Life Sciences.
The holiday was tranquil.
While enjoying tea in his office, Deng Shufang received an email requesting a paper review. Surprised, he opened it and commented, "Collatz Theorem Zhao Yi? He’s on the campus, isn’t he? He submitted to this journal?"
If it were normal mathematics or computer sciences submissions, Deng Shufang could understand. But a submission to the Journal of Life Sciences must be related to biology.
However...
Has Zhao Yi shown any genius in biology?
Deng Shufang frowned at the paper. Upon seeing the title, he almost burst into laughter. He initially intended to reject the paper outright, but after much consideration, an idea sprung to his mind.
Zhao Yi was a genius!
He had exceptional talents in mathematics and computer sciences. Even though his major at Yanhua University was life sciences, he was far too renowned to be an ordinary student.
Not only are such students hard to manage, one could argue they’re literally unmanageable.
Deng Shufang resented such students, which probably had something to do with his position. As Academic Affairs Head, he wouldn’t want "unmanageable" students in the school. However, there was no doubt that Zhao Yi’s enrollment in Yanhua University was beneficial for the reputation of the university.
"Put him in his place?"
"He needs to know that being a genius in mathematics and computer sciences doesn’t automatically mean being a genius in biology!"
"Biology is an entirely new discipline. He must study slow and steady like every other student, and accumulate knowledge bit by bit. He’s no different than anyone else when it comes to this subject."
"Now is a good time!"
An idea struck Deng Shufang, sparking a resolve to conduct a thorough review of the paper and write up a few comments to let the students understand that being a genius in one field does not guarantee being a genius in another.
This has educational value.
Following that, Deng Shufang started writing his commentary--
"This part is very imaginative!"
"...The logic is not bad, but medicine is not conjecture, it needs to speak with facts..."
"This reaction is interesting, but I have never heard of it."
"I’ve read the full text, its logic is extremely clear. If it were another discipline, I would definitely believe what it says..." freēwēbnovel.com
At the end, Deng Shufang made a comment, he wrote what he thought was a meaningful sentence, "Medicine is not mathematics, it cannot be studied in the way of mathematics... "
"It’s good to have new thoughts, but don’t aim too high, always be realistic... "
After completing all his comments, Deng Shufang sent the content to the editorial office. He made a phone call and instructed sternly, "The content I sent over, print it verbatim in the journal that will be published the day after tomorrow."
