Nature ¨C a 21st century journal for 21st century scholarship

January 20, 2025 Related Event

Contemporary research is increasingly collaborative, interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial. It can no longer afford to be secluded in the corridors of university departments; instead, it needs to be inclusive, relevant and well-communicated. It also needs to be shared openly. Since publishing needs to be seen as an integral part of doing research, contemporary journals such as Nature have a key role to play in supporting and enabling 21st century scholarship. In this lecture, Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief of Nature will explain how this is done.
*This event is part of a long-term collaboration between the University of Tokyo and Springer Nature that began in 2019.
