被Nature退稿的文章获得新科诺贝尔物理学奖

新科诺贝尔物理学奖获得者Konstantin Novoselov说，他们关于石墨烯（graphene）的第1篇文章，最先是投给英国的Nature，但是Nature的编辑部（和审稿人）拒绝了他们的文章，后来他们又投给了美国的Science，并且获得发表。

    请看ScienceWatch的访谈录：

SW：The Nature paper is the more highly cited of the two, even though it was a follow-up publication. Why do you think that is?

Konstantin Novoselov：The interesting thing is that the first paper, the one in Science, was originally submitted to Nature and, of course, it was rejected, because…well, I don’t know why. The referee told us it was interesting, but we should measure this, that, and the other thing in addition, and then maybe they’d consider it for publication. It’s now three years later and all those requirements made originally by the Nature referee are still not measured. Nonetheless, we improved our paper a bit and then published it half a year later in Science.

以上事实表明：对于一个在全世界崭新的东西，Nature的编辑（包括审稿人）也拿不准新东西的意义。

显然，诺贝尔奖评审委员会的水平，比Nature的水平要高。退一步说，Nature在2003年对石墨烯还看不准，6年后诺贝尔奖委员会却看准了石墨烯。

对于中国“本土”科学家搞出的新东西（假如有的话），被Nature和Science看走眼的几率似乎更大。
