20 19 impact factor 12. 12 1:
Ranked in the top five in multidisciplinary science in recent years;
In the past three years, China scholars have published 3,639 papers on this subject, second only to the United States' 8 1 12, and Germany ranks third with 2,840 papers. In the ranking of the author's unit, China Academy of Sciences ranks second, second only to the University of California system:
However, as a subsidiary of Nature, it is always considered as "water" and the magazine is underestimated. That's not the problem of this magazine, it's because all the sub-magazines of nature are too strong. However, with this influencing factor, it is definitely not something that you and I can send if we want to. People who look down on this magazine, I want to know how to NB? In Beihang University, you also need to post an NC on the home page of the school website. If I can post an article, I guess I will wake up laughing in my dream in the middle of the night.
To sum up, NC is a very good magazine, which is invisible to ordinary people. If you post an article, I have to congratulate you.
Don't read this journal with colored glasses, and don't draw conclusions based on the comments of a famous scientist. I once sent an article in this magazine, and the review was still very strict. Our article was first submitted to Nature and was rejected, then recommended to this journal, revised and finally published. Now this article is cited more than 40 times a year.
Foreign publishing houses are basically for profit, so this is a commercial act. If the positioning is not good, it will definitely be eliminated by the market.
Now it seems that this journal is developing very well, and everyone is honored to publish a paper in this journal. According to the information on ijark, the impact factor has climbed to 12, which is also very stable. The number of articles published on 20 19 is also 5,400, of which China contributed 1/5. The APC fee for this magazine is $5,700, which is really high. So this periodical can earn 30 million dollars a year by APC alone, but in fact, you don't need a few fixed personnel to run a periodical, so you can feel how high the profit rate of running a periodical well is.
Whether you like it or not, it's there, neither sad nor happy.
Tiankeng major, who has published several articles better than NC, should be barely qualified to talk about this journal. I hope you don't spray those who have published NC.
First of all, according to people around you, NC has never been the first choice. For example, in the field of materials, the feeling level is not bad. I always try AM first, and if I am rejected, I may try NC. In the field of chemistry, the first reaction may be JACS. If it refuses, it will try Angew or NC again.
Secondly, the audit cycle is too long, and opinions vary. Working hours at different levels are definitely different, but generally the cycle is longer.
Third, the page fee, needless to say, is too much. After all, it is an OA journal.
Of course, NC is still a periodical that we pay attention to every day, and the overall level is still very high. There are also many NC rejected, but the high-level submitted works have won most people after all.
Nature Communications is a subsidiary of Nature Group. Nature Communications is a comprehensive magazine published only on the Internet, which specializes in publishing high-quality research papers in various fields such as biology, physics and chemistry.
Famous magazines such as Nature communication claim that all articles that are not fake can be published on it, so they receive a large number of uneven submissions, and some domestic institutions and ministries also count the papers published in such journals in relevant statistics. Of course, the amount of contributions is the amount of contributions, and publishing is publishing. Being able to publish a paper in Nature Newsletter is absolutely awesome. Probably a professor, too.
A machine dedicated to harvesting scientific research funds of Chinese people.
