regarded as one of the few remaining academic journals that publishes original
research across a wide range of scientific fields. Nature claims an online
readership of about 3 million unique readers per month. The journal has a circulation of
around 53,000 but studies have concluded that on average a single copy is
shared by as many as eight people. Research scientists are the primary audience

many of the most important papers understandable to scientists in other fields
and the educated general public.
