Science: Free Access to Nature Reports and Nature Protocols

Nature Reports is for all those who are interested in the facts behind the headlines, providing accessible information for users of all levels of expertise from the scientist to members of the general public. The Nature Reports series explores the science, social, political and economic implications of three topics: climate change, stem cells and avian flu.

The vast majority of Nature Reports is freely accessible and aims to explain the science behind the headlines, linking back to relevant news and research papers within the nature.com platform. Readers can download digital editions as well as other online content which includes; interactive editor blogs, article tagging, voting and recommendation tools, podcasts, and extensive expert discussion. Each continually updated site also has individual special features: for instance Nature Reports Avian Flu has a Google Earth map allowing users to track the spread of avian flu.
