Reply to comment by kerred in New quantum state boosts material's conductivity by a billion percent by Goliatheos

Seems like anyone can publish anything and call it a scientific paper these days. Or was that always the case?

While that's true, this article is about a journal article published in Nature.

That largely depends on the Journal it’s published in. Anyone can make a website and call it a scientific Journal, accept crap (often for money) and send it out into the world. Established Journals on the other hand are much better at vetting the research, have higher standards than even they themselves used to have and generally publish high-quality studies.

In conclusion: there’s Scientific Papers and “scientific papers”. Check the source.

Thanks! My comment wasn’t about this particular Journal article though. I simply responded to the question about publications in general with an answer about publications in general.
