Nature Publishing Group (NPG)‘s Nature Asia-Pacific’s English website has been redesigned to incorporate two new websites that feature some of the best published research from the Asia-Pacific region. Newly added to the site are NPG Nature Asia-Materials and Nature India. In addition, a new section called Nature – Hot Topic has been added, featuring one ’hot’ paper selected from Nature each week. There are also regular news updates of NPG’s activities and regional websites.

The focus of www.natureasia.com has until now been on NPG’s local language websites in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, but, with the recent launch of several custom-publishing projects in English along with Nature China and Nature India, the publishing and editorial teams are now able to feature research highlights covering a wide spectrum of research from across the region. These highlights are updated every week.
