Nature, an interdisciplinary scientific journal, is one of the world's most reputed journals. It has been ranked the world's most cited scientific journal by the Science Edition of 2014 Journal Citation Reports, and is widely regarded as one of the few remaining academic journals that publish original research across a wide range of scientific fields. Academic Ranking of World Universities considers papers specifically published in Nature as a criterion for its world rankings. In 2009, Nature was named as the 'journal of the century' by the Bio-Medical and Life Sciences Division (DBIO) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA), USA. Needless to say, having a paper published in Nature is considered prestigious. The present study aims to show India's output in this journal.Full Text

Today, electronic journals (e-journals) reign supreme in the scholarly communication landscape. In the print journals era gone by, libraries owned the print journals subscribed by them. Consequently, it is still possible to retrieve an article from the journal held by a library, however distantly located. This is irrespective of a print journal having been discontinued by the publisher or closure of the journal publishing house itself.Full Text

Globally, the use of English language has been continuously increasing and English is reported to be the most widely learned second language. In scholarly communication too, English has become the preferred language although it is well known that many scientific terminologies and words are derived from Latin and Greek. It has been reported that 'science reached the end of its Latin when in 2012 International Code of Botanical Nomenclature declared as no longer obligatory that the Linnaean binomial classification, but also the description of candidates for new species, be in Latin'.Full Text

In the last week of May 2016, the European Union ministers of science, innovation, trade, and industry in a meeting agreed that by 2020 all scientific papers should be freely available. And in early 2016, it was reported that a consortium of higher education institutions in the Netherlands has negotiated agreements with major publishers including Elsevier to make all Dutch scientific publications available in open access domain.Full Text

Madhu has given a detailed account of a video journal and highlighted the need for developing a similar medium in India. When the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) was launched about a decade ago, there was some skepticism about it. Today, the video journal is not only an accepted format, but many longstanding as well as new journals include videos as supplementary content to the articles. However, the video journal is only one of the many formats of scholarly journals that have emerged since the turn of the 21st century.Full Text

There have been periodic discussions on the state of Indian Science and Technology (S&T) journals. Several reasons have been attributed for the low quality of these journals. Different authors at different points in time have articulated steps and approaches to strengthen the Indian S&T journals. One of the long-held contentions has been that the best of Indian scientists should choose Indian journals over foreign ones to publish their best works. This article traces key discussions of the last 90 years and revisits some of the contentions.Keywords

Studies on gender disparity in science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) are gathering considerable attention across the globe. Almost in every field of STEM a male predominance can be noticed. Gender analysis in popular science writing has not been studied so far. The present study was carried out to analyse the gender dimension in popular science writing in India using Science Reporter, India’s leading popular science magazine. All the issues of the monthly magazine published between 2010 and 2020 were analysed. The study supports the hypothesis that gender disparity is evident even in popular science writing. The number of articles contributed by women is considerably lower than men. Women tend to show more interest in collaboration in popular science writingKeywords
