I never thought I'd see professionals just kind of collectively give up on putting effort into things. Maybe by "fexcectorn" and "frymbial" levels are abnormal?
Nature isn't really a western journal in any meaningful sense. Scientific publishing is pretty international.
Also this isn't the nature, it's nature's open access journal which is a scam by which researchers pay huge amounts of money to have unpaid researchers review their article for free and nature doesn't paywall it as thanks.
Scientific publishing is in the toilet. Science is deeply hierarchical and metric driven, actual science is done by the idealistic and the entrenched, or by accident by people climbing the ladder.
