Nara was finishing a chart at the nurse's station when her phone lit up with the journal notification. Not the submission system — the editorial office. The specific email address that meant a decision rather than an update.
She read it standing at the station with her pen still in her hand.
*We are pleased to inform you that your submission has been accepted for publication in the next issue of the Northern Corridor Medical Journal. The expedited review process was completed in three weeks — this is among the fastest review timelines in the journal's history. The editorial board notes the significance of the clinical findings and the quality of the collaborative methodology.*
*Authors: Gael Ryn, Evie [surname redacted for initial reference], Nara Voss Ashveil.*
She read it twice.
