Nature: a weekly journal of science is a weekly, English-language specialist journal with topics from various, predominantly scientific, disciplines. In 2014, Nature was the world's most cited interdisciplinary journal according to the Journal Citation Reports and the journal with the highest impact factor in its category. Alongside the US Science, it is the world's most respected journal for natural sciences.
Overview
The journal is aimed at scientists , but summaries at the beginning of each issue make important publications understandable for the interested public. The editorial and the “News Articles” area report on topics that are of interdisciplinary interest for scientists (e.g. research funding). In addition, each issue consists of original publications that require specialist knowledge.
Publishing an article in journals such as Nature or Science is very prestigious, as the articles are quoted very often on average and attract a high degree of attention even beyond the individual subject boundaries.
In 2007 the magazine was awarded the Prince of Asturias Prize together with Science .
