The flagship journal Nature - which celebrated its 142nd anniversary in 2011 - is the mother of a growing family of Nature Publishing Group (NPG) journals. Recently that family welcomed its latest addition in the shape of Nature Climate Change which was launched in April 2011. Along with Nature Communications, launched in 2010 as the first interdisciplinary journal from NPG since Nature itself, this brings the total number of primary research journals included in the Nature Publishing Index to eighteen. Whilst Nature and Nature Communications are published every week, the Nature research journals, covering a wide range of disciplines in the life, physical and chemical sciences, are published monthly.
