Science:
Science is the academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is considered one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals. The peer-reviewed journal, first published in 1880 is circulated weekly and has a print subscriber base of around 130,000. Because institutional subscriptions and online access serve a larger audience, its estimated readership is one million people.
Science’s impact factor for 2006 was 30.028 (as measured by Thomson ISI).
Although it is the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, membership in the AAAS is not required to publish in Science. Papers are accepted from authors around the world. Competition to publish in Science is very intense, as an article published in such a highly-cited journal can lead to attention and career advancement for the authors.
Fewer than **10% of articles **submitted to the editors are accepted for publication and all research articles are subject to peer review before they appear in the magazine.

Nature:
Nature is the world’s most highly cited interdisciplinary science journal, according to the 2007 Journal Citation Report Science Edition (Thomson, 2008). Its Impact Factor is 28.751. The impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of citations in a calendar year to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years. It is an independent measure calculated by Thomson Reuters, Philadephia, USA.
