Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group (NPG), UK, and Asia-Pacific International Molecular Biology Network (A-IMBN), Korea, have launched a new website, A-IMBN Research. Available at www.natureasia.com/A-IMBN, the site highlights some of the best research in molecular biology and biotechnology research in the Asia-Pacific region. A-IMBN Research is produced jointly by A-IMBN and NPG Nature Asia-Pacific, the Asia-Pacific wing of Nature Publishing Group (NPG).
A-IMBN Research will provide short 'Research Highlights' of recently published articles authored by members of A-IMBN, or by researchers who are based at one of the 18 A-IMBN supporting institutions. A-IMBN currently includes supporting institutes in Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand.
Hosted on NPG Nature Asia-Pacific's multilingual portal at www.natureasia.com, the website will cover all of the leading journals in molecular biology and biotechnology, some lesser known titles, and leading interdisciplinary journals. Featured articles will be recommended by an international A-IMBN Advisory Committee and by NPG, and selected by an A-IMBN editorial board. Research Highlights will be written and edited by a team of professional NPG-selected science writers and editors. A-IMBN Research will initially publish new Highlights monthly, but is expected to move to a more frequent publication schedule as the service develops.
The launch of A-IMBN Research continues NPG Nature Asia-Pacific's strategy of building a hub of scientific, technical and medical publishing in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier in 2007, NPG launched Nature China (www.nature.com/nchina), which uses a similar editorial system to highlight the best research coming out of China.
