Nature (journal)

Nature is a British multidisciplinary scientific journal, first published on 4

November 1869.[1] It was ranked the world's most cited scientific journal by the
Nature
Science Edition of the 2010 Journal Citation Reports and is ascribed an impact
factor of 40.137, making it one of the world's top academic journals.[2][3] It is one of
the few remaining academic journals that publishes original research across a wide
range of scientific fields.[3][4]

Research scientists are the primary audience for the journal, but summaries and
accompanying articles are intended to make many of the most important papers
understandable to scientists in other fields and the educated public. Towards the
front of each issue are editorials, news and feature articles on issues of general
interest to scientists, including current affairs, science funding, business, scientific
ethics and research breakthroughs. There are also sections on books and arts. The
remainder of the journal consists mostly of research papers (articles or letters),
which are often dense and highly technical. Because of strict limits on the length of
papers, often the printed text is actually a summary of the work in question with
many details relegated to accompanying supplementary material on the journal's Cover page of the 7617th issue
website. ISO 4 Nature

Background
The enormous progress in science and mathematics during the 19th century was recorded in journals written mostly in German or
French, as well as in English. Britain underwent enormous technological and industrial changes and advances particularly in the latter
half of the 19th century.[8] In English the most respected scientific journals of this time were the refereed journals of the Royal
Society, which had published many of the great works from Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday through to early works from Charles
Darwin. In addition, during this period, the number of popular science periodicals doubled from the 1850s to the 1860s.[9] According
to the editors of these popular science magazines, the publications were designed to serve as "organs of science", in essence, a means
of connecting the public to the scientific world.[9]

Nature, first created in 1869, was not the first magazine of its kind in Britain. One journal to precede Nature was Recreative Science:
A Record and Remembrancer of Intellectual Observation, which, created in 1859, began as anatural history magazine and progressed
to include more physical observational science and technical subjects and less natural history.[10] The journal's name changed from
its original title to Intellectual Observer: A Review of Natural History, Microscopic Research, and Recreative Science and then later
to the Student and Intellectual Observer of Science, Literature, and Art.[11] While Recreative Science had attempted to include more
physical sciences such as astronomy and archaeology, the Intellectual Observer broadened itself further to include literature and art
as well.[11] Similar to Recreative Science was the scientific journal Popular Science Review, created in 1862,[12] which covered
different fields of science by creating subsections titled "Scientific Summary" or "Quarterly Retrospect", with book reviews and
commentary on the latest scientific works and publications.[12] Two other journals produced in England prior to the development of
Nature were the Quarterly Journal of Science and Scientific Opinion, established in 1864 and 1868, respectively.[11] The journal
most closely related to Nature in its editorship and format was The Reader, created in 1864; the publication mixed science with
, similar to Popular Science Review.[11]
literature and art in an attempt to reach an audience outside of the scientific community

These similar journals all ultimately failed. The Popular Science Reviewsurvived longest, lasting 20 years and ending its publication
in 1881; Recreative Science ceased publication as the Student and Intellectual Observer in 1871. The Quarterly Journal, after
undergoing a number of editorial changes, ceased publication in 1885. The Reader terminated in 1867, and finally, Scientific Opinion
lasted a mere 2 years, until June 1870.[10]

Creation
Not long after the conclusion of The Reader, a former editor, Norman Lockyer, decided to
create a new scientific journal titled Nature,[13] taking its name from a line by William
Wordsworth: "To the solid ground of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye".[14] First
owned and published by Alexander Macmillan, Nature was similar to its predecessors in its
attempt to "provide cultivated readers with an accessible forum for reading about advances in
scientific knowledge."[13] Janet Browne has proposed that "far more than any other science
journal of the period, Nature was conceived, born, and raised to serve polemic purpose."[13]
Many of the early editions of Nature consisted of articles written by members of a group that
called itself the X Club, a group of scientists known for having liberal, progressive, and
somewhat controversial scientific beliefs relative to the time period.[13] Initiated by Thomas
Henry Huxley, the group consisted of such important scientists as Joseph Dalton Hooker,
Herbert Spencer, and John Tyndall, along with another five scientists and mathematicians;
these scientists were all avid supporters of Darwin's theory of evolution as common descent, a First title page, 4 November
theory which, during the latter half of the 19th century, received a great deal of criticism 1869
among more conservative groups of scientists.[15] Perhaps it was in part its scientific liberality
that made Nature a longer-lasting success than its predecessors. John Maddox, editor of
Nature from 1966 to 1973 as well as from 1980 to 1995, suggested at a celebratory dinner for the journal's centennial edition that
perhaps it was the journalistic qualities of Nature that drew readers in; "journalism" Maddox states, "is a way of creating a sense of
community among people who would otherwise be isolated from each other. This is what Lockyer's journal did from the start."[16] In
addition, Maddox mentions that the financial backing of the journal in its first years by the Macmillan family also allowed the journal
[16]
to flourish and develop more freely than scientific journals before it.

Editors
Norman Lockyer, the founder of Nature, was a professor at Imperial College. He was succeeded as editor in 1919 by Sir Richard
Gregory.[17] Gregory helped to establish Nature in the international scientific community. His obituary by the Royal Society stated:
"Gregory was always very interested in the international contacts of science, and in the columns of Nature he always gave generous
space to accounts of the activities of the International Scientific Unions."[18] During the years 1945 to 1973, editorship of Nature
changed three times, first in 1945 to A. J. V. Gale and L. J. F. Brimble (who in 1958 became the sole editor), then to John Maddox in
1965, and finally to David Davies in 1973.[17] In 1980, Maddox returned as editor and retained his position until 1995. Philip
Campbell has since become Editor-in-chief of all Nature publications.[17]

Expansion and development

In 1970, Nature first opened its Washington office; other branches opened in New York in 1985, Tokyo and Munich in 1987, Paris in
1989, San Francisco in 2001, Boston in 2004, and Hong Kong in 2005. In 1971, under John Maddox's editorship, the journal split
into Nature Physical Sciences (published on Mondays), Nature New Biology (published on Wednesdays) and Nature (published on
, and the journals were merged into Nature.[19]
Fridays). In 1974, Maddox was no longer editor

Starting in the 1980s, the journal underwent a great deal of expansion, launching over ten new journals. These new journals comprise
the Nature Publishing Group, which was created in 1999 and includes Nature, Nature Publishing Group Journals, Stockton Press
Specialist Journals and Macmillan Reference (renamed NPG Reference).

In 1996, Nature created its own website[20] and in 1999 Nature Publishing Group began its series of Nature Reviews.[17] Some
articles and papers are available for free on the Nature website. Others require the purchase of premium access to the site. Nature
[21]
claims an online readership of about 3 million unique readers per month.

On 30 October 2008, Nature endorsed an American presidential candidate for the first time when it supported Barack Obama during
his campaign in America's 2008 presidential election.[22][23]

In October 2012, an Arabic edition of the magazine was launched in partnership with King Abdulaziz City for Science and
[24]
Technology. As of the time it was released, it had about 10,000 subscribers.

On 2 December 2014, Nature announced that it would allow its subscribers and a group of selected media outlets to share links
allowing free, "read-only" access to content from its journals. These articles are presented using the digital rights managementsystem
ReadCube (which is funded by the Macmillan subsidiary Digital Science), and does not allow readers to download, copy, print, or
otherwise distribute the content. While it does, to an extent, provide free online access to articles, it is not a true open access scheme
due to its restrictions on re-use and distribution.[25][26]

[27]
On 15 January 2015, details of a proposed merger with Springer Science+Business Media were announced.

In May 2015 it came under the umbrella of Springer Nature, by the merger of Springer Science+Business Media and Holtzbrinck
Publishing Group's Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillan, and Macmillan Education.[28]

Publishing of articles
Having a paper (article or letter) published in Nature or any Nature publication such as Nature Chemistry or Nature Chemical
Biology is very prestigious, and the papers are often highly cited, which can lead to promotions, grant funding, and attention from the
mainstream media. Because of these positive feedback effects, competition among scientists to publish in high-level journals like
Nature and its closest competitor, Science, can be very fierce. Nature's impact factor, a measure of how many citations a journal
generates in other works, was 38.138 in 2015 (as measured byThomson ISI), among the highest of any science journal.
As with most other professional scientific journals, papers undergo an initial screening by the editor, followed by peer review (in
which other scientists, chosen by the editor for expertise with the subject matter but who have no connection to the research under
review, will read and critique articles), before publication. In the case of Nature, they are only sent for review if it is decided that they
deal with a topical subject and are sufficiently ground-breaking in that particular field. As a consequence, the majority of submitted
papers are rejected without review.

According to Nature's original mission statement:

It is intended, FIRST, to place before the general public the grand results of Scientific Work and Scientific Discovery;
and to urge the claims of Science to a more general recognition in Education and in Daily Life; and, SECONDLY, to
aid Scientific men themselves, by giving early information of all advances made in any branch of Natural knowledge
throughout the world, and by affording them an opportunity of discussing the various Scientific questions which arise
from time to time.[29]

This was revised in 2000 to:

First, to serve scientists through prompt publication of significant advances in any branch of science, and to provide a
forum for the reporting and discussion of news and issues concerning science. Second, to ensure that the results of
science are rapidly disseminated to the public throughout the world, in a fashion that conveys their significance for
knowledge, culture and daily life.[30]

Controversies
In 2017, Nature published an editorial entitled "Removing Statues of Historical figures risks whitewashing history: Science must
acknowledge mistakes as it marks its past". The article commented on the placement and maintenance of statues honouring scientists
with known unethical, abusive and torturous histories. Specifically, the editorial called on examples of J. Marion Sims, the 'Father of
gynecology' who experimented on African American women (slaves) without their consent, and Thomas Parran Jr. who oversaw the
Tuskegee syphilis experiment. The editorial as written made the case that removing such statues, and erasing names, runs the risk of
"whitewashing history", and stated “Instead of removing painful reminders, perhaps these should be supplemented”. The article
caused a large outcry and was quickly modified by Nature.[31] The article was largely seen as offensive, inappropriate, and by many,
racist. Nature acknowledged that the article as originally written was "offensive and poorly worded" and published selected letters of
response.[32] The editorial came just weeks after hundreds of white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia in the Unite the
Right rally to oppose the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, setting off violence in the streets and killing a young woman. When
Nature posted a link to the editorial on Twitter, the thread quickly exploded with criticisms. In response, several scientists called for a
boycott.[33] On 18 September 2017, the editorial was updated and edited by Philip Campbell, the editor of the journal.
[34]

When Paul Lauterbur and Peter Mansfield won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for research initially rejected by Nature and
published only after Lauterbur appealed the rejection, Nature acknowledged more of its own missteps in rejecting papers in an
editorial titled, "Coping with Peer Rejection":

[T]here are unarguable faux pas in our history. These include the rejection of Cherenkov radiation, Hideki Yukawa's
meson, work on photosynthesis by Johann Deisenhofer, Robert Huber and Hartmut Michel, and the initial rejection
(but eventual acceptance) ofStephen Hawking's black-hole radiation.[35]

From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by Jan Hendrik Schön was published in Nature. The papers, about
semiconductors, were revealed to contain falsified data and other scientific fraud. In 2003, Nature retracted the papers. The Schön
scandal was not limited toNature; other prominent journals, such asScience and Physical Review, also retracted papers by Schön.[36]

In June 1988, after nearly a year of guided scrutiny from its editors, Nature published a controversial and seemingly anomalous paper
detailing Dr. Jacques Benveniste and his team's work studying human basophil degranulation in the presence of extremely dilute
antibody serum.[37] In short, their paper concluded that less than a single molecule of antibody could trigger an immune response in
human basophils, defying the physical law of mass action. The paper excited substantial media attention in Paris, chiefly because
their research sought funding from homeopathic medicine companies. Public inquiry prompted Nature to mandate an extensive,
stringent and scientifically questionable experimental replication in Benveniste's lab, through which his team's results were
categorically disputed.[38]

Before publishing one of its most famous discoveries, Watson and Crick's 1953 paper on the structure of DNA, Nature did not send
the paper out for peer review. John Maddox, Nature's editor, stated: "the Watson and Crick paper was not peer-reviewed by Nature ...
the paper could not have been refereed: its correctness is self-evident. No referee working in the field ... could have kept his mouth
shut once he saw the structure".[39]

An earlier error occurred when Enrico Fermi submitted his breakthrough paper on the weak interaction theory of beta decay. Nature
turned down the paper because it was considered too remote from reality.[40] Fermi's paper was published by Zeitschrift für Physik in
1934,[41] and finally published byNature five years later, after Fermi's work had been widely accepted.

Science fiction
In 1999 Nature began publishing science fiction short stories. The brief "vignettes" are printed in a series called "Futures". The
stories appeared in 1999 and 2000, again in 2005 and 2006, and have appeared weekly since July 2007.[42] Sister publication Nature
Physics also printed stories in 2007 and 2008.[43] In 2005, Nature was awarded the European Science Fiction Society's Best
Publisher award for the "Futures" series.[44] One hundred of the Nature stories between 1999 and 2006 were published as the
collection Futures from Nature in 2008.[45]
Publication
The journal has a weekly circulation of around 53,000 and a pass-along rate of 8.0,[46]
resulting in a readership of over 400,000.[47]

Nature is edited and published in the United Kingdom by a division of the international
scientific publishing company Springer Nature that publishes academic journals, magazines,
online databases, and services in science and medicine. Nature has offices in London, New
York City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Boston, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Munich, and
Basingstoke. Nature Publishing Group also publishes other specialized journals including
Nature Neuroscience, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Methods, the Nature Clinical Practice
series of journals, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Nature Chemistry, and the Nature
Reviews series of journals.

Since 2005, each issue of Nature has been accompanied by a Nature Podcast[48] featuring Nature Materials, a
highlights from the issue and interviews with the articles' authors and the journalists covering specialized journal from
the research. It is presented by Kerri Smith, and features interviews with scientists on the Nature Publishing Group.

latest research, as well as news reports from Nature's editors and journalists. The Nature
Podcast was founded – and the first 100 episodes were produced and presented – by clinician
and virologist Chris Smith of Cambridge and The Naked Scientists.

In 2007, Nature Publishing Group began publishing Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, the official journal of the American
Society of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics and Molecular Therapy, the American Society of Gene Therapy's official journal,
as well as the International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) Journal. Nature Publishing Group launched Nature Photonics in
2007 and Nature Geoscience in 2008. Nature Chemistry published its first issue in April 2009.

Nature Publishing Group actively supports the self-archiving process and in 2002 was one of the first publishers to allow authors to
post their contributions on their personal websites, by requesting an exclusive licence to publish, rather than requiring authors to
transfer copyright. In December 2007, Nature Publishing Group introduced the Creative Commons attribution-non commercial-share
alike unported licence for those articles in Nature journals that are publishing the primary sequence of an organism's genome for the
first time.[49]

In 2008, a collection of articles from Nature was edited by John S. Partington under the title H. G. Wells in Nature, 1893–1946: A
Reception Reader and published by Peter Lang.[50]
