Editing Stanley Miller (section)

===Publication problem===

Miller showed his results to Urey, who suggested immediate publication. Urey refused to be the co-author lest Miller receive little or no credit. The manuscript with Miller as the sole author was submitted to the magazine ''Science'' on 10 February 1953. After waiting several weeks, Urey inquired and wrote to the chairman of the editorial board on 27 February on the lack of action in [[peer review|reviewing]] the manuscript. A month passed, but still there was no decision. On 10 March the infuriated Urey demanded the manuscript to be returned, and he himself submitted it to the ''[[Journal of the American Chemical Society]]'' on 13 March. By then, the editor of ''Science'', apparently annoyed by Urey's insinuation, wrote directly to Miller that the manuscript was to be published. Miller then withdrew the manuscript from the ''Journal of the American Chemical Society''.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Bada JL, Lazcano A |title= Perceptions of science.
