Afaik nature has good stuff, but it's not like a 'research journal' it's more popular stuff. A quote from the article: "There are only a handful of studies out there that have already attempted to look at this, and they came to wildly different conclusions." So, although I didn't look into this more deeply, it seems to me there is wide room to not take this popular article as 'full confirmation'.
- CuriouslyC 9y agoNature is basically the most prestigious scientific journal, along side Science. Getting a pub in either of those journals is considered a huge win.

- your-nanny 9y agoNature is a research journal. In fact it is one of the premier research journals. A publication in Nature can make a career. Nature is not a specialist journal however. Most fields publish in it.
- divbit 9y agoWell I guess the 'afaik' in my answer was wrong in this case, it was based on recollection of the last time I held a nature in my hand, and a comparison with a sort of definition as listed here: https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/scholarly-vs-popular https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/scholarly-vs-po.... Sorry to unjustly disparage nature, however, it does not discount the quote I lifted from the post, which is still a valid point.
