Abstract

About two thirds of western society are extroverts, but the contemplative nature of science means that this is not true of the academic population. Bruce Gibb discusses extraversion and introversion in science and asks whether the movement towards larger projects involving teams of scientists is making it harder for introverts and for disruptive discoveries.

期刊介绍： Nature Chemistry is a monthly journal that publishes groundbreaking and significant research in all areas of chemistry. It covers traditional subjects such as analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as a wide range of other topics including catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, and environmental chemistry. The journal also features interdisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry with biology, materials science, nanotechnology, and physics. Manuscripts detailing such multidisciplinary work are encouraged, as long as the central theme pertains to chemistry. Aside from primary research, Nature Chemistry publishes review articles, news and views, research highlights from other journals, commentaries, book reviews, correspondence, and analysis of the broader chemical landscape. It also addresses crucial issues related to education, funding, policy, intellectual property, and the societal impact of chemistry. Nature Chemistry is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of original research through a fair and rigorous review process. It offers authors maximum visibility for their papers, access to a broad readership, exceptional copy editing and production standards, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests. Overall, Nature Chemistry aims to be the authoritative voice of the global chemical community.
