npj Series
Community-focused. Researcher-edited. Broad Reach. The npj journals are a unique partnership between the Nature Portfolio and a range of discipline communities, bringing researchers the best combination of community focus and high-quality editing. The npjs cover disciplines from the physical and applied sciences; to the life and health sciences; society & environment; and beyond. Every npj journal is the result of close collaboration with the community it serves.
Defining journal features
Researchers from the field lead each npj journal
This editorial collaboration combines close knowledge of a field’s current state of research with the Nature Portfolio’s quality and standards that researchers trust.
More accessible venue in the Nature Portfolio
Being a more discipline-specific portfolio, the npjs aim to cultivate a broad range of well-conducted research with a less selective acceptance criterion. The npjs send over 45% of manuscripts we receive out to review so you can benefit from the feedback to improve your paper.
Wide-reaching visibility for your work
Springer Nature’s fully open access journals earn more downloads, citations, and exposure. Including up to 5x more downloads, and 7.39 citations per article on average. As journals specifically focused on their discipline communities, the npjs work to bring important research to those communities, without barriers and with this elevated exposure and impact. As science moves, the npj portfolio continues to expand in response to the communities’ needs for new venues for important research areas.
Partnership drives our ethos
The npj series was originally conceived of as Nature Partner Journals, and that word — partner — drives our ethos. Partnership and collaboration are at the core of the npjs’ approach to authors, editors, reviewers, institutions, the wider Springer Nature journal family, and partners around the world to help ensure a global, diverse perspective, while also regional research progress.
