Nature

www.nature.com/nature 

Nature is a weekly international journal publishing the finest peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology. Research is published on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, elegance and surprising conclusions. Nature also provides insightful news and interpretation of topical and coming trends affecting science, scientists and the wider public.

Published online, Nature is the flagship journal of Nature Publishing Group, a division of Macmillan Publishers, and has been an influential force in scientific publishing since 1869. Issues are published weekly, however large amounts of content are available online before their print publication date through AOP (Advance Online Publication), meaning online users have access to the latest research first. Users can sign up for E-alerts and RSS Feeds and save searches.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
