Today, Nature Communications desk-rejected our paper 2 hours and 1 minute after we submitted it.
OUCH!

- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

I've heard of a 15 minute rejection from either Science or Nature.
Then I'll definitely need to work harder.
I can see it now: "The science behind breaking the world record for scientific paper rejection", a discussion of the necessary components to build a microsecond filtering system on the publisher side to perform extremely fast scanning and filtering of incoming article submissions.
Z: Well, as long as the decisions are no worse than the ones that actual editors make... ;)
