Yes, it's called Lobbying. That was the point of my comment.

Daddy Cohen just loaned them 3 Billion so they could stay solvent. Might want to check your math. https://www.ft.com/content/8be64f49-7c90-4fae-8370-c5c5c96d8... TLDR Melvin Capital is already down 3.75 Billion 3 weeks

Right but at least Impact Factor gives you some kind of objective idea of the importance of a journal. Most researchers know Science and Nature are elite journals and impact factor at least backs that up by showing that their papers are hig
