Three new Nature journals are to launch in 2023 as publisher Springer Nature continues to reflect the needs of research communities through its Nature portfolio. With the first issues due in January 2023, Nature Mental Health, Nature Water, and Nature Reviews Bioengineering will have multi-disciplinary scopes and offer a new avenue for publication of the latest research discoveries that are impacting some of the challenges the world is facing.
Like all Nature-branded journals, the new launches will be overseen by a team of professional editors who oversee the careful selection, commissioning, fair and rigorous peer-review, accurate editing, rapid publication, and broad dissemination of primary research and/or commissioned content.
Nature Mental Health and Nature Water, as part of Springer Nature’s ongoing commitment towards open access and the drive for open science, will be launching as transformative journals, committed to fully transitioning to OA.
Nature Mental Health is a thematic journal covering the breadth of sciences using rigorous methodology to understand mental health and mental health disorders. The journal, led by Rebecca Cooney as Chief Editor, forms part of the Nature imprints applied sciences group expansion to meet the needs of clinical, psychiatric, psychological, and public health authors and researchers. Taking an expansive view of the relevant fields, Nature Mental Health is poised to become the nexus for high-quality, high-impact multidisciplinary research on mental health and mental health disorders.
Nature Water, led by Fabio Pulizzi as Chief Editor, is a journal covering all aspects of research related to the evolving relationship between water resources and society. The journal will support academics and practitioners in the water sector by publishing a wide range of topics, including fundamental aspects of water resources, technological innovations, water management, and behavioral aspects, with a strong interest in promoting interdisciplinary studies.
Nature Reviews Bioengineering, the first engineering Nature Reviews journal, is an online-only journal publishing reviews, perspectives, and comments covering the full breadth of bioengineering, focusing on application, translation, and technology.
All three journals are now open for submissions.
