Description:
The study of science-making is a growing discipline that builds largely on online publication and citation databases, while prepublication processes remain hidden. Here, we report on results from a large-scale survey of the submission process, covering 923 scientific journals from the biological sciences in years 2006 to 2008. Manuscript flows among journals revealed a modular submission network, with high-impact journals preferentially attracting submissions. However, about 75% of published articles were submitted first to the journal that would publish them, and high-impact journals published proportionally more articles that had been resubmitted from another journal. Submission history affected post-publication impact: Resubmissions from other journals received significantly more citations than first-intent submissions, and resubmissions between different journal communities received significantly fewer citations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Calcagno, V -- Demoinet, E -- Gollner, K -- Guidi, L -- Ruths, D -- de Mazancourt, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Nov 23;338(6110):1065-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1227833.
