    Reviews

    An online-only, open-access title from Nature Publishing Group, Scientific Reports offers "original research papers of interest to specialists" across a broad range of scientific disciplines. Emphasis is on rapid review and publication of submissions. Articles are published as they are accepted. Users can search for articles or browse by date or discipline. This journal follows an author-pays open-access model, and "all expenses, including peer review, production, and online hosting and archiving, are recovered via an article-processing charge (APC)," which is payable on acceptance; the current fee is USD 1,350. Note that Nature Communications, launched in 2010 by Nature Publishing Group, has a similar focus, and is also appropriate for academic and special libraries, but is not a wholly open-access title. Articles are then published under a Creative Commons license, and authors may post published pdfs to their web sites and deposit in an institutional repository. DOIs assigned. Publisher is partially COUNTER-compliant. (Braxton, Susan)
