最近僕が出したレーザー医療の英論文が、“rising star” articlesに取り上げられているようで、米国の企業より連絡がありました。

Dear Dr. Fujimoto,

Here at Frontiers, we have pioneered the use of article-level metrics, which allows us to keep an eye on the “rising star” articles — even those of other publishers. We noticed that your Article, “Induction of different reactive oxygen species in the skin during various laser therapies and their inhibition by fullerene” in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine has already received 8 citations, which underscores the wide-ranging and growing interest for this work.

こういったことが一番嬉しいなあ。
