The editorial department at Science was as busy as ever.
Every day, they would receive a large number of thesis submissions from all over the world. Less than one-tenth of the submissions were actually accepted.
Instead of an editorial position, Warren felt like his job was more like a gold miner. He had to screen hundreds of theses to find the few worthy manuscripts to hand over to reviewers.
Warren's job undoubtedly impacted the entire word.
However, at the same time, it was a boring job.
As for why it was boring…
It was because Science was one of the top two journals in the world; its reputation was just too big.
In order to publish in this journal, the theses writers were often unethical. They would claim to have created "groundbreaking" results.
