That story doesn't sound very likely to me. If something like that actually happened, for sure your colleague didn't submit to a "quality" journal.

- ravel-bar-foo 5y agoIt wasn't Nature Materials, but it was one of the top journals for that branch of materials science. I think we were shooting for IF 5 to 10, but I wasn't involved in the work beyond editing the rebuttal.
- auggierose 5y agoIF is a ridiculous measure in the first place. It says nothing about quality. It once was an interesting number from a purely observational point of view, but once journals are actually rated by it, it has no meaning any more.
