Nature China






Nature China en ny portal till de "bästa" artiklarna från Kina skapad av utgivarna av tidskriften Nature. "Nature China is dedicated to highlighting the best research from mainland China and Hong Kong providing scientists from around the world with a convenient portal into research drawn from across the scientific and medical literature in all disciplines. The website is currently in beta form as an archive is built extending back over the past six years to provide short summaries of some of the best research articles published from China in Nature journals and other leading scientific publications since 2000. In the case of Nature journals, access to the original full text articles is also provided. Once the archive is complete in April, each week thereafter, our editors will select the best research recently published and provide a summary of the results. Users can also recommend papers to be included in Nature China and vote/comment on those suggestions. The best of these, chosen by you, will be included within the Nature China archive."
