Submitted a potentially high impact paper to Nature Climate Change. They have rejected and suggested NPJ atmospheric science.
Frankly, I don't want to spend enormous amounts of money at Springer, I was already ambivalent about NCC. So where next? I'm thinking maybe the Cryosphere? But perhaps we should give Science or PNAS a go? (Also expensive).
Scientific publishing is so broken, too many publications but we all rely on publishing for our careers and future grants. (And we need this one to be published, it's actually quite important). -

That's the other problem with academic publishing, it takes soooooo long. I genuinely believe preprint servers are where the exciting stuff is now, but it can be hard to find and keeping up with published literature alone is almost impossible. But when it takes maybe 2 years to come through the process...
(And I'm an editor for the Cryosphere - I realise I'm often the road block- but it also has to be squeezed in around the day job). -

Where would you place a newer kind of journal like PLOS One in this landscape? Making things better or worse? (Or both, which is also possible)
