To forge a strong climate accord in Paris, nations must agree on a common goal in everyone’s self-interest, say David J. C. MacKay and colleagues in a Comment piece in Nature.
@oristarA,
Quote:Does "a Comment piece" refer to "a post/a comment in Comment section"?
The comment section in nature seems not to be a post a comment or letter to the editor section but a section for a type of article that nature public that are commission-only articles.

This is a commission-only section intended to be accessible and appealing to the whole global Nature readership, of all disciplines.
Comment pieces are generally agenda-setting, authoritative, informed and often provocative expert pieces calling for action on topical issues pertaining to scientific research and its political, ethical and social ramifications. They road-map a proposed solution in detail; they do not simply snapshot a problem.
Alternatively comment pieces can be writerly historical narratives or conceptual or philosophical arguments of pressing contemporary relevance, told with authority, colour, vivacity and personal voice. These attempt to bring an original perspective before the widest readership, through erudite reasoning and telling examples.

Thanks.
Failed to get "expert pieces" fully. Does it mean "expert's opinions"?
