Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group (NPG), UK, has announced that Nature Medicine will celebrate 15 years as the leading translational research journal, in 2010. To mark this anniversary, the journal will expand its content by 25 percent and increase its editorial team. Starting January 2010, Nature Medicine will publish more news, reviews, and research articles. Readers and library customers will be able to access more content with no commensurate price increases.
Nature Medicine will also increase the number of professional editors that evaluate manuscripts. The journal will have expert editors devoted to evaluating manuscripts in most areas of biomedicine: cancer biology, cardiovascular research, metabolism, general physiology, autoimmunity and immunology, infectious diseases and neuroscience. Three new editors are currently being recruited. The expansion of the editorial team is expected to improve the publishing experience for authors by reducing the decision time on manuscripts.
Launched in 1995, Nature Medicine is a leading translational research journal publishing basic and preclinical work that has direct relevance to human disease. With a 2008 Impact Factor of 27.553, the journal has been the number one journal in the Medicine, Research & Experimental category of the Journal Citation Report every year since 1996.
To celebrate this legacy and the journal's continued development in 2010, Nature Medicine has launched the Nature Medicine Classic Collection. Nature Medicine Classic Collection brings together a series of recent articles organised by therapeutic area, together with some landmark articles published over the past 15 years. Nature Medicine Classic Collection is free-to-access online at www.nature.com/nm/classics.
