Reflections on the first year of Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology

摘要

This month, Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology celebrates its first anniversary. The inaugural issue was published in November 2005, but work began long before then to ensure that the launch of this new journal would be smooth and successful. The crucial initial step was recruitment of our Editor-in-Chief. That a nephrologist of the caliber of Bob Schrier made a commit-menj to the journal while it was still just a concept was testament to the strength of the editorial model and the reputation of Nature Publishing Group.
