As an official publication of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), all ISN full members receive Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology as a member benefit. The journal strives to meet the information needs of ISN members and other readers. Our aim is to be the first stop for practicing nephrologists and affiliated healthcare professionals in their ongoing effort to keep up to date with the latest advances in patient care.

To ensure that we cover the hottest, most clinically relevant new data and ideas, we have recruited an Advisory Board of eminent nephrologists (for a complete list see the front of the journal or go to the Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology website). Members of our Advisory Board practice in many different countries and subspecialties. This diversity ensures that the content of Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology is truly global in perspective and subject matter.

Advisory Board members suggest ideas for all article types—Research Highlights, Viewpoints, Practice Points, Reviews and Case Studies. The in-house editorial staff then discuss these ideas with the Editor-in-Chief, Robert Schrier, and select the most timely and clinically relevant to commission. Potential authors are then invited to write for us. Once received, all manuscripts are professionally edited so that they are concise, consistent and easy to digest.

We recognize the potential of ISN members and other readers to complement the expertise of our Advisory Board. As such, we invite you to submit article ideas by email to ncpneph@nature.com. What would you like to read? Whose opinion would you like to hear? What recent advances do you think are going to most immediately affect the way you care for your patients? What are the best primary research papers that you have read in the past few weeks? Just by dropping us a short email you can help to shape your journal.
