Nature (journal)

Nature is one of the oldest and most reputable scientific journals, first published on November 4, 1869. Although most scientific journals are now highly specialized, Nature is almost unique (along with the journal Science) in still publishing original research articles across a wide range of scientific fields. In most fields of scientific research, some of the most important new advances each year are usually published as short articles in Nature.

Publication

Nature was founded in 1869 by Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer, an astronomer and physicist best known as the co-discoverer of helium. Lockyer was also the first editor of the journal from its founding until 1919.
