If you just picked up your weekly issue of Nature journal, then you are in for a very pleasant surprise. Nature has finally received a complete redesign to make it easier to pick up, navigate through, and get to exactly where you want.

Not to sound too biased but it looks better than ever!

The redesign process has been underway for over a year, involving both readers and authors, to make the Nature experience more snappy – fit for the much busier lifestyle we all lead.

The most exciting part of the new magazine to me are the News in Focus and News Features sections. This is the part of Nature that focuses on journalism. So this is geared towards a wider audience that is interested in science, science funding and science policy issues. This is followed by the “Comment” section which includes debates, reviews, and reader correspondence.

Online, all three sections are nicely grouped together into the News and Comments section, where you can easily get all the more newsy material in one place.

Another new section that I think will be quite interesting to follow is “This Week”. This is where you go for editorials and up-to-date summaries of concern to the science community. It is also home to “World View” or prominent scientists will give their personal take on current hot issues.

The research section, the core of Nature, has also been streamlined to offer a clearer reading experience. You can easily know at a glance now what subjects an article covers and who the authors are.

For the full experience, you can tour a digital edition to see the changes firsthand.

It would be great if you can also tell us what you think is good or bad about the redesign.
