Nothing humbles you quite like questioning a headline only to see that the journal is Nature

It’s Nature Communications. While I think overall it’s a solid journal, they published 7400 articles last year.. that’s about 600/month. Nature, on the other hand, does 800-1000 per YEAR.

My point is I’ve seen some suspect science get accepted into Nature Comms but it seems a symptom of volume.

Evaluating the future impact and relevance of a paper by the journal alone is an extremely dangerous thing.
