Editorials

To highlight and support research in the important area of child health, the editors at Communications Medicine and Nature Communications invite submissions to a collection of papers on this subject.

We are celebrating a year since Communications Medicine published its first articles. Here, we reflect on how far the journal has come, and share the goals that we will work towards in coming years.

Listening to the different communities that we serve, and promoting dialogue between them, are important goals for us as a journal. To further these aims, Communications Medicine is now publishing a new article type that will help us capture and amplify the voices of all those involved in clinical, translational and public health research, and allow them to more easily hear each other’s point of view.

Communications Medicine is publishing its first articles today. We are an inclusive and open access medical journal that aims to facilitate and disseminate discovery that will promote health for all and improve the lives of those experiencing or living with disease.
