It's disheartening that Cell would even publish a non-scientific opintionated fluff article about "Heroes" under the same banner as its peer-reviewed research articles.
Such an article is fine for a magazine, or an adjunct comment, but not a scientific journal.
- mturmon 11y agoIt's a common format for a flagship wide-area journal (like Cell or Science) to have editorial content at the front of the journal and the more hard-core research papers at the back. The editorial content can be breaking news, political/social context (e.g., Federal budgets, legislation), review articles, summaries and context for the technical articles at the back, and position papers seeking community comment. Getting a paper in the front pages of the journal is a matter of invitation, and getting one in the back is considered ... how to say it ... the righteous way?
