How did @Nature become "prestigious" to scientists?
In our opening article of Issue 09, writer Robert Reason traces the journal's history.
By understanding how Nature’s prestige was constructed, we can also clarify which elements are deserved and which are entrenched.

Submitting just before holiday season is fine. Emailing on Jan 2 asking for update or reviews is not #OverlyHonestEditor #AcademicSky #ScientificPublishing
Me, as author: I really want to get this paper sent to a journal before shutting down for the holidays.
Me, as journal associate editor: I wish that authors would stop sending manuscripts until January 2. Reviewers aren't going to accept invitations.
