<p>My qualifications to give my 2 cents: I work with renown scientists who have published in both Science and Nature: two of the most prestigious journals in the world.</p>
<p>The Article selection process goes like this. All the head people of the Journal gather around a large table. They then go through the abstracts of all entries. If the entry is unique and original, they ** may ** select it. Bear in mind, it has to be something truly unique. </p>
<p>You may have better luck with junior journals. However, the major ones will not even glance at your article if you don’t have some unique stuff. Also, if you are just a high school student they will probably just scoff. Its ** all ** politics. You must be affiliated with a major university or with some major scientists. Preferably those who have published.</p>
