No. 1 monthly review journal in Oncology

Aims and Scope:

Nature Reviews Cancer publishes a dynamic and accessible mix of Reviews, Perspectives and Highlight articles on the most important primary research papers. All Reviews and Perspectives are carefully commissioned, written by leaders in the field and subject to rigorous peer-review - so that readers receive independent, high-quality and authoritative articles in each issue. The journal's broad scope captures the essence of modern multidisciplinary cancer research - integrating cancer biology with new approaches to treatment, diagnosis and prevention.

Non-specialists will benefit from the glossary and highlighted references, busy scientists will appreciate the 'At-a-glance' summaries, and experts will value the insight provided by top names in their field.

Nature Reviews Cancer is the premier teaching and reference resource in cancer and has become the 'must-read' review journal of cancer researchers worldwide.

Readership:

Researchers in cancer and cancer-related disciplines, as well as students and those who teach cancer-related subjects.

Organized into three sections, Nature Reviews Cancer provides:

• Highlights- short updates on new papers, including details of clinical trials in short 'Trial Watch' articles.
• Reviews - commissioned from leaders in the field, Reviews vary in length, depending on the topic. All reviews are supplemented with glossary explanations for non-specialist readers, as well as highlighted references that are accompanied by an explanation as to why these references are essential reading. Some content from each issue is made available online ahead of print publication by Advance Online Publication (AOP).
• Perspectives - there are several types of Perspectives articles covering broader issues:
• Timeline - Historical foundations and influences, or possible future directions
• Opinion - An opportunity to present particular views on a topic
• Science and Society - The implications and applications of science in our society
• Innovation - New technologies
• Guidelines - Approaches to classification, drug development or clinical management.
