Nature magazine and its name were founded to publish important discoveries and breakthroughs in the scientific community.
The scientific research results required by Nature must be novel, unexpected (or surprising), and the research published in Nature needs to have a wide range of significance outside the field, so whether it is to report an outstanding discovery or a first-hand report on the substantive progress of an important issue, it should arouse the interest of scientists in other fields.

Since 1869 was founded, it has a history of 130 years. It can be said that it is one of the earliest international sci-tech journals in the world, and the impact factor of ISI evaluation index sci is nearly 30, which is also the citation rate of comprehensive disciplinesNo. 1 for many years!
2. Science
If you know the founder of science, you will be surprised. Yes, Science magazine was founded by the great inventor Edison with the investment of 10000 USD. 1894, Science magazine became the official publication of AAAS, the largest scientific group in the United States.
Science * * * 5 1 issue throughout the year, once a week, and the global circulation exceeds 1.5 million copies. This magazine, together with the British magazine Nature, is called the top two magazines in the world, representing the highest level of human natural science research.
Different from other academic journals, compared with most sci-tech journals, readers have to pay for reviewing manuscripts, commenting and publishing, but the manuscripts published in Science are free.
There are three sources of funds for its magazine: membership fee of AAAS, subscription fee of print and online edition, and advertising fee. Moreover, science has always been aimed at "developing science and serving the society", so there are a lot of popular science materials in periodicals, and only readers with general academic level can pay more attention to them.
3. Cell
The last of the three journals, Cell, may be a little different, because Nature and Science are comprehensive journals, and Cell is the research field of life science.
Cell has published many important research progress in life science, and its impact factor in 20 10 is 3 1.957, which is higher than Science (3 1.027) and close to Nature (38.597), indicating that its published articles are widely cited.
Being able to publish academic papers in Cell magazine is the goal pursued by life science researchers, and it is also an important basis for selecting Nobel Prize, running for academician and showing the research strength of universities and scientific research institutions.
