Some of the most important and pioneering works in the history of science were initially published in scientific books rather than articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This includes Copernicus's De revolutionibus and Newton's Principia Mathematica.
Furthermore, it is not surprising that important scholarly works were rejected at first by peer-reviewed journals, such as Nature Science in 2001: "Just mention peer-reviewed, and almost every scientist will find you with stories of reviewers making silly comments, studying the text forever, or rejecting the paper just to re-examine and credit themselves." In fact, Juan Camp points out. "Not in our Nature" Campanario reminds the magazine of four examples of scientific papers with important connotations, which the magazine refused to publish:
In 1981, a paper by British biochemist Robert H. Michell on the signaling of reactions by hormones was rejected by Nature, and has been cited more than 1,800 times.
2) In June 1937, Nature rejected Hans Krebs' letter explaining the citric acid cycle. Krebs then won the 1953 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his discovery.
3) Nature initially rejected a paper on the work of Harmut Michel, for which he won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) considered a central document, and was widely cited.
4) In 1983, Nature rejected Michael J. Berridge's paper, ranking 275th on its list of most cited scientific papers in history. The paper has been cited more than 1900 times.
Campanario lists 36 cases of Nobel laureates who faced opposition – earlier for winning the prize – by editors and referees of scientific journals for manuscripts that contained discoveries that later secured the Nobel Prize.
