【交流】投稿新创刊杂志! yes? or no?
抛砖引玉:nature communications,http://www.nature.com/ncomms/index.html,是一本在线版期刊,没有印刷版,对读者完全免费,是Nature旗下“开放获取”期刊。独立于nature及其子刊,主要发表生物学、化学、物理学这三类的交叉性质的论文,文章将更为集中在Nature杂志没有关注的点上,并且覆盖的领域将不会与Nature杂志重合。作者支付一定的费用选择让读者开放获取, 费用$5,000/?3,035/? 637,350/?3,570 (plus VAT where applicable),根据该杂志发表文章的档次,感觉影响因子不会低,文章创新性很高,内容简短意赅,现在已经有不少中国人在上面发表文章。估计是只潜力股。
Nature Communications is an online-only, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, physical and chemical sciences. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to specialists within each field.
The scope of the journal reflects Nature Publishing Group's core strengths in the biological, chemical and physical sciences, including areas in which Nature research journals serve to publish the most outstanding community-focused research papers. In addition, Nature Communications encourages submissions in fields that aren't represented by a dedicated Nature research journal; for example developmental biology, plant sciences, microbiology, ecology and evolution, palaeontology and astronomy. The editors particularly welcome submissions from cross-disciplinary fields, including biophysics, bioengineering, chemical physics and environmental science, although no area is excluded from consideration. In all cases, papers published in Nature Communications will be of high quality, without necessarily having the scientific reach of papers published in Nature and the Nature research journals.
Nature Communications is committed to providing an efficient service for both authors and readers. A streamlined peer-review system, together with the support of an Editorial Advisory Panel, allows a team of independent editors to make rapid and fair publication decisions. Prompt dissemination of accepted papers to Nature Publishing Group's wide readership and beyond is achieved through a programme of continuous online publication. Published manuscripts are enhanced by innovative web technologies, including interactive browsing and efficient data- and text-mining.
