Nature accused of diluting journals for nanoscience gain

Mark Cillingworth

Nature Publishing Group has defended its journals and pricing structure, after information professionals slammed it for diluting its core journal in an effort to chase lucrative nanoscience journals market share.

"My heart sinks whenever I see an email from Nature announcing yet another new publication," said Tony Kidd, assistant director, finance & corporate service at Glasgow University Library. "Nature needs to be careful not to dilute the quality of their publications, and the market for their journals," he said.

The growing number of nanoscience journals has been described as unsustainable by Kidd and information professionals in the US discussing the issue with the education newspaper The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Dr Jason Wilde, publisher of physical sciences at Nature Publishing Group agrees that the current growth rates are unsustainable and added that Nature is not chasing a target number of new titles.
