Generally, multicountry papers receive more citations
than single-country ones. In this contribution, we
examine if this rule also applies to American scientists
publishing in highly visible interdisciplinary journals.
Concretely, we compare the citations received by American
scientists in Nature, Science, and the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences of the United
States of America (PNAS). It is shown that, statistically,
American scientists publishing in Nature and Science do
not benefit from international collaboration. This statement
also holds for communicated submissions, but not
for direct and for contributed submissions, to PNAS.
