This journal has a very rigorous selection process and acceptance is based on relevance, whether your article can demonstrate a genuine contribution to scientific knowledge, originality and most importantly has to have a high impact factor in order to be considered for publication. Articles also have to be peer-reviewed by other scientists in your field before it can be accepted.  It took me 3 years to collect the data and around 6 months to write the article (which happens to be the last chapter of my thesis) so having it appear in a journal of this calibre gives my work great credibility and I'm delighted! Click here to link to it: http://buff.ly/12GcyMI
