following materials from these publications on the date of publication as
well as full searching functionality and the ability to view and download
articles from the archives.  
This content will include: News & Views, News, Reviews, Features, Book 
Reviews, Articles and Letters as well as all other content from the 
electronic journals and archives of this material.  It will also include
material available to registered users on the Nature Website.
 
For over 130 years, Nature has consistently informed, stimulated and 
challenged its readers in the scientific community. Over the past decade,
the total number of Nature journals has expanded to 11 titles with 
additional journals planned for the future. The Nature Reviews series has
revitalized and reinvented a whole new area of science publishing, adding
yet another innovative dimension to the Nature Publishing Group. The 
Nature Publishing Group also publishes the Specialist Journals, formerly
published under the Stockton Press imprint. 
The Nature Publishing Group's vision is to continue to produce scientific
journals of exceptionally high quality, achieving this end by working 
with the scientific community and by applying rigorous standards of 
peer-review, editorial independence, and swift publication.
