👀 Johns Hopkins Climate Scientist Calls Out the Agenda of Scientific Journals: 'I Designed My Research to Sound Catastrophic'

"When you go to Nature and you submit your paper, you submit a cover letter with it and it tells you right there on their website, this is a chance for you to sell your paper. And then one of their main editorial reasons for rejection is a paper is it's not high impact enough, meaning that it's not worthy of attention or general interest enough.

Everyone in the field knows that Science and Nature and these high impact journals want kind of dramatic results. And so naturally people kind of frame their research questions in that direction.

There's kind of a social construction to a lot of this."
