科学创造的研究是一个不断发展的学科，它主要建立在在线出版物和引文数据库的基础上，而出版前的过程仍然是隐藏的。在这里，我们报告的结果，从一个大规模的调查提交过程中，涵盖923个科学期刊从生物科学在2006年至2008年。期刊之间的人力流动揭示了一个模块化的提交网络，高影响力的期刊优先吸引提交。然而，大约75%的已发表文章首先提交给了将发表它们的期刊，并且高影响力期刊发表的文章比例更多，这些文章是从另一个期刊重新提交的。提交历史影响发表后的影响：从其他期刊重新提交收到的引用明显多于首次意向提交，不同期刊社区之间的重新提交收到的引用明显较少。
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.
