For this reason, as a scientist committed to excellence and the advancement of knowledge, I cannot in good conscience continue to engage with the Nature publishing group.
Should Nature recommit to scientific excellence, I will be happy to revisit my decision. In the meantime, I will encourage my fellow scientists to follow my example and stand up for the integrity of science.
Sincerely,
Anna I. Krylov, USC Associates Chair in Natural Sciences and Professor of Chemistry
