Area of Science:

  • Molecular Cell Biology
  • Genetics
  • Neurosciences

Background:

  • The scientific publishing landscape includes established review journals like Annual Reviews, Trends Journals, and Current Opinion journals.
  • Nature Publishing Group introduces Nature Reviews in Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics, and Neurosciences to address a perceived need for high-impact review articles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of significant advancements and topics in molecular cell biology.
  • To critically assess and synthesize recent primary literature for a broad scientific audience.
  • To offer expert perspectives and timelines on foundational concepts in cell biology and related fields.

Main Methods:

  • Publication of in-depth review articles authored by leading experts in their respective fields.
  • Inclusion of 'highlights' sections featuring editor-selected and commented-on recent primary research articles.
  • Presentation of 'perspectives' including historical timelines and opinion pieces on emerging scientific areas.

Main Results:

  • The inaugural issue features reviews on lipid rafts, calcium signaling, DNA organization, HIV inhibitors, kinesin, and the circadian clock.
  • Highlights offer commentary on selected primary literature, though the style is noted as potentially too informal.
  • Perspective pieces include a historical timeline of the Hayflick limit and an opinion on cancer genomics.

Conclusions:

  • Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology is well-positioned for success due to its reputable backing and experienced editorial team.
  • The journal offers a valuable mix of comprehensive reviews and timely highlights, despite minor critiques on editorial style and font size.
  • The publication aims to become an essential resource for researchers, potentially necessitating personal or institutional subscriptions.
