  This year marks the 150th celebration of Nature. However, the understanding
of the way the army of unsung editors-in-chief has strengthened and enriched
the integrity and quality of the journal under the umbrella of its original
mission remains nominal rather than substantial. This paper scrutinizes the
chief vehicle guided by Nature's doctrine with regard to the ways it has
conflicted with the advancement of both science and social progress. We first
recast quantitative spatiotemporal analysis on the diachronic discourse of
Nature since its debut, which promises to articulate the unfolding
chronological picture of Nature on a historical time scale, and pinpoint
overdue corrective to the strongly-held but flawed notions on editors-in-chief
of Nature. Our findings strongly indicate that the army of editors-in-chief
have never met with their fair share of identification, and they took on the
challenge guided by Nature's doctrine with extraordinary polymath, unparalleled
enthusiasm and diverse characters.
