- 15. 10/25/2021 What you need to know before publishing • Then did winning the Nobel Prize improve your acceptance rate with journals? • I don’t think it made any difference. If anything, journal editors and reviewers possibly became stricter. Incidentally, my last paper, of which I am rather proud actually, was published in Science, but was rejected without a review by Nature. I am not too surprised about this, because things are so specialized these days • Part of an interview extract on editage.com
- 16. “The most amusing letter I received from a journal was about the work that eventually got me the Nobel Prize. The editor said something to the effect that the journal would publish my paper, but ‘in nothing like its present form’. I had to rewrite it completely and without any new data: the editor found the first version to be way over the top and euphoric. To tell the truth, I knew that I’d made an important discovery, but I failed to explain it effectively.” 10/25/2021 What you need to know before publishing AOPL Webinar
