99% of good research cannot be published in Science or Nature, as the role of those journals is really to popularise the best research going. In itself, rejection rate is not a good measure of the value of a journal. The ability of editors and reviewers to recognise good research, and to help authors raise the level of their presentation, and get published, is part of what makes a good service journal. This community service role is also lacking in a great many new start-up journals!
