Nature (journal)
Nature is an English multidisciplinary scientific journal, first
published on 4 November 1869.[1] It was ranked the world's most cited
Nature
scientific journal by the Science Edition of the 2010 Journal Citation
Reports and is ascribed an impact factor of approximately 38.1, 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 Cover page of the 7617th issue
limits on the length of papers, often the printed text is actually a ISO 4 Nature
summary of the work in question with many details relegated to abbreviation
accompanying supplementary material on the journal's website. Discipline Natural sciences
