Nature About to Launch Two New and Freely Accessible Web Sites. (June 7, 2007)

    The Journal Nature has announced "two websites to be launched this week: Nature Reports: Climate Change and Nature Reports: Stem Cells. Aimed at researchers and at anyone else who is interested, both give an editorial perspective of their fields through a combination of original journalism and commissioned comment, alongside archived material from other Nature publications. Both sites also facilitate community interactions through blogs.

"For example, the climate-change site focuses on post-Kyoto agendas, both journalistically and with an analysis of the obstacles by development expert Jeffrey Sachs. The stem-cells site contains a similar blend of news about the latest research and comments, as well as a featured editor — this month, cloning researcher Ian Wilmut.

"These sites will develop further by way of community interactions and applications in the coming months. The original content of both is freely accessible."
