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.
