Welcome to Nature Clinical Practice
As the amount of original clinical research continues to grow, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with the current literature while still devoting substantial time to patient care.
Nature Clinical Practice journals deliver timely, authoritative interpretations of key research developments, translating the latest findings into clinical practice.
Content includes editorial and opinion pieces, highlights from the current literature, commentaries on the application of recent research to practical patient care, thorough reviews, and in-depth case studies. Our distinguished Editors-in-Chief and international advisory boards ensure comprehensive coverage throughout the year, with discussion of topical issues included as soon as possible after publication of the original research.
