摘要：
Science is fortunate that so many authors seek to publish with us. We shoulder enormous responsibility from both our outsized influence on research across many fields and from the journal's impact on the careers of scientists who publish in our pages. Although there can be some cynicism about the role of highly selective glam journals, we understand why we are part of conversations that sometimes center around CNS (Cell, Nature, Science) periodicals. All three have considerable importance and prominence in the scientific community. But there is a major difference that often gets lost. Whereas Cell and Nature generate revenue for their parent for-profit companies, Elsevier and Springer Nature, Science is published by a nonprofit organization, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and produces no revenue for shareholders. We don't get the word out about this distinction frequently or overtly enough. It's an important contrast because decisions that we make at Science and AAAS are driven by putting scientists ahead of profit.
