Nature honored as ‘journal of the century’ at SLA meeting

We’re really honored that Nature was named ‘journal of the century’ by the Biomedical and Life Sciences Division of the SLA at the SLA annual conference in Washington D.C. yesterday.

In conjunction with SLA’s Centennial, DBIO conducted a poll of its members to identify the 100 most influential journals of Biology & Medicine over the last 100 years. The top 100 journals were announced in March 2009 and are available on the SLA website.

Five journals published by NPG featured in the top 100: The EMBO Journal, Nature, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Genetics and Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.

Accepting the award on behalf of Nature, Senior Editor Alex Witze said, “We are honored to be named the journal of the century by the expert librarians from the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division of the Special Libraries Association. It means a great deal to us to receive this accolade from the international library community. You are our valued customers and essential partners in ensuring that researchers worldwide have access to Nature. We look forward to the next 100 years.”
