What is the Nature Portfolio New Launches program? The Nature Portfolio New Launches program introduces new journals in fast‑moving and emerging research areas. These launches aim to support evolving scientific priorities, address global challenges, and provide new authoritative homes for high‑impact research. Why does Nature Portfolio launch new journals? New journals are launched to meet the needs of researchers in emerging or rapidly developing disciplines. Nature editors focus on areas aligned with global challenges, such as sustainability, health, energy, and interdisciplinary science, ensuring researchers have trusted venues that advance knowledge and inform policy. How are new Nature journals selected and developed? Each proposed journal undergoes a rigorous evaluation to ensure scientific relevance and long‑term value. Titles are professionally edited by in‑house teams, undergo stringent peer review, and follow the high editorial and ethical standards that define the Nature Portfolio. What new Nature Portfolio journals are launching in 2026? In 2026, the new titles include Nature Health and Nature Sensors, both designed to serve fast‑growing interdisciplinary fields and societal needs. These journals continue Nature’s mission to publish significant research with global impact. How do these new journals support libraries and research institutions? New journals offer institutions access to cutting‑edge research across emerging fields, supported by rigorous editorial processes and high content reliability. This enables institutions to strengthen research output, inform policy decisions, and support communities aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. What editorial standards do new Nature journals follow? All Nature Portfolio journals, including new launches, are professionally edited, undergo meticulous peer review, and adhere to reproducibility checks, open data requirements, ethical oversight, and transparent review practices. These processes ensure quality, integrity, and long‑term scholarly value. | How can institutions learn more or enquire about access?
