How difficult is it to publish a paper on Science or Nature?

nice tits

Not really difficult if you're working with a team of motivated researchers. Its actually fairly common to atleast have one or two publications in Nature or Science if you're planning to have an academic career.

But to be first author you generally need to have some groundbreaking research that is your own or you can just do what most Professors do and let your grad students do all the work for you while you just take credit as the first author.

Yes it can be kinda easy of you you are a bright person working on a 'sexy' subject. But if your colleagues find out that you're on that track, they might get jealous and will start sabotaging you, and evading that actually is the hard part.

My OChem professor recently ranted in class that Science and Nature have become way too general, then held up a copy of Angewandte Chemie and said 'now this is where it's at'. You guys think he's right?

totally. nature and science are capeshit, or 'the sun' of research papers. they are like silicone tits, everyone looks at them all the time but they won't feed a hungry baby. smaller journals with a narrow scope are what makes visible how all those small and exhausting steps eventually lead us to enlightenment and progress.

might add: Ochem professors are well known for salami publishing, they prefer quantity over quality. and with that criticism I gave for nat&sci above, they still sometimes attract and publish those big articles that solve the popular questions. and that's a good thing, after all.

Pretty much everything interesting gets first published in a more specific journal first.

>>8921020
It's very difficult to publish in any prestigious journal.

There are thousands of researchers and only a few will get into Science or Nature. Pressure to publish means many want to publish there so they get a lot of material to choose from.

Not OP, but what if someone comes up with some thing complelety unheard of, or revolutionary, from a mathematical perspective, but has no degree or otherwise in mathematics what happens to that work. Is it just lost to time, or is there somewhere that will give it the time of day?

You don't necessarily need an research or university institute address to submit a manuscript.

Hmm, cool thanks. I suppose the other problem is that most new weird maths is completely useless. I wonder if this commonplace attribute of new maths would then be considered a stumbling block by those same journals to publication? I imagine it would and perhaps rightly so, from their point of view.

Science and Nature don't generally publish abstract pure math.

There are plenty of other journals that do

Nature and Science are pop-sci for brainlets who think they aren't. If you're an actual scientists, you'll just read the parer the articles come from.

Except it doesnt. If people have a good paper they start at Science/Nature and work their way down until it gets accepted.

>>8922043
A quite retarded and time consuming modus operandi 2 be honest. Only leads to that ridiculous rejection percentage. If you know your field, you know where your paper belongs.

>>8922043
Also these people really should be more self critical.

>>8921357
>implying your OC prof actually prefers an ACIE/JACS over a Science

of course the former contain the most significant advances but if get your methodology/natural product synthesis/whatever into Science/Nature every participant is happy

How hard is it to get published in NEJM?

>>8922037
Nature is a journal where scientific papers are first published. Its one of the most highly regarded.

Good job on exposing yourself as a brainlet.

>>8922163

It where brainlets go to read what Nature's opinion on what scientific papers say. Any real scientist just reads it.

You could also start with arXiv and then boycott the whole group of meme policing dunces forever when they reject your manuscript
