Nature Portfolio expands to include Nature Health and Nature Sensors in 2026
London | Berlin | New York, 02 May 2025
Two new Nature journals, Nature Health and Nature Sensors, will launch in January 2026. These titles will offer new avenues for research publication in evolving and expanding areas such as health research and applied science, increasing knowledge around some of the critical priorities facing us in the world.
In a post-pandemic era where greater emphasis is being placed on a more resilient global health care system, Nature Health will seek to champion interdisciplinary research centred around the protection and promotion of health and disease prevention. The journal will aim to breakdown silos and to facilitate discoveries and discussions, by connecting researchers, healthcare professionals, innovators, policy makers, and the public. Ultimately, the aim of Nature Health is to identify and publish the best evidence to promote better health for all. The journal will be led by Chief Editor Ben Johnson.
Nature Sensors will be the first selective multidisciplinary journal focused on sensors and sensing systems. With sensors playing an ever-growing role in our modern lives, the upcoming journal will showcase the exciting advancements in the field, whilst having a strong focus on societal applications. Essential to this, is the promotion of cross-community interaction and engagement within the applied sciences and engineering space, which the journal hopes to achieve. Nature Sensors’ Chief Editor is Olga Bubnova.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Nature journals' new launches program, which began in 2015. Over the past decade, the program has successfully introduced a variety of new journals, covering a wide range of research areas. These journals cater to diverse communities, address global challenges, and influence policy.
Like all Nature-branded journals, the new launches are managed by a team of professional editors. They ensure meticulous selection, commissioning, fair and rigorous peer-review, precise editing, rapid publication, and broad dissemination of both commissioned and proposed content. Nature Health and Nature Sensors will be hybrid journals, both are open for submissions.
