A Comparative Analytical Study on Academic Novelty of Cover and Non-Cover Papers ——An Example from the Field of Nanotechnology

This study breaks the original research perspective of cover papers, no longer discussing the academic or social influence gain brought by becoming a cover paper, but starting from the content level of the paper, exploring whether the cover paper carries higher academic novelty, so as to provide certain references for improving the efficiency of the allocation of readers' attention in journals, optimizing the academic evaluation system, and so on.
