\"NI<\/a>Nature India<\/em> stepped into its 10th year in 2018. To mark the occasion, we gave a face lift to our annual volume with a new international design, very similar to Nature. <\/em>A\u00a0global team of editors and art designers worked across time zones to\u00a0produce this annual volume.<\/p>\n

In February 2008, Nature Research (then called Nature Publishing Group) launched Nature India<\/em><\/a> in an attempt to chronicle the region\u2019s rapidly changing scientific scene and efforts to embrace globalization. In the decade since, Nature India<\/em> has witnessed and reported the distinctly Indian essence of science. Thanks to India\u2019s enviable scientific stock that gets an additional 100,000 science post-doctorates every year and to a culture of frugal innovation, the website has seen a plethora of interesting stories.<\/p>\n

Nature India has reported this evolution \u2014 the moments of glory as well as the difficulties \u2014 through in-depth commentaries, news and feature articles and research highlights from the country\u2019s many laboratories and research and development organizations. From rural, low-resource settings to state-of-the-art space facilities, from well-equipped labs in burgeoning cities to makeshift mobile labs in remote islands, this journey of covering science in the world\u2019s largest democracy has been pioneering and meaningful.<\/p>\n

Besides producing award-winning editorial content, Nature India<\/em> has evolved as a useful resource for India\u2019s science community with listings of relevant jobs and events, discipline-specific special issues and the Nature<\/em>
\nIndia<\/em> annual compendia. Responding to the need for effective communication of science by researchers, Nature India<\/em> also devised a series of science communication and career workshops in partnership with the Wellcome Trust\u2013DBT India Alliance.<\/p>\n

A much-awaited event in our annual calendar is the Nature India<\/em> photo contest, which has not only enriched our archives with stunning science pictures from around the world but also resulted in a roving exhibition that sparks thought-leading conversations around the visual narrative of science.<\/p>\n

Through these years, Nature India<\/em> has broken major investigative science news stories \u2014 from the visible impacts of climate change as the sea gobbles up entire islands in the Bay of Bengal (10.1038\/nindia.2013.60<\/a>) to the poor genetic diversity threatening to wipe out the few surviving population of the Kashmir red deer (10.1038\/nindia.2015.35<\/a>); from the intriguing story of a diabetes-free desert tribe of Madhya Pradesh (10.1038\/nindia.2015.23<\/a>) to the resurfacing of a forest virus that killed more than 100 people in the Western Ghats of India (10.1038\/nindia.2016.139<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Among the many engaging investigations we undertook in 2017 was one that looked at why Indian scientists coming back from stints abroad turn out to be less productive once they reached home (10.1038\/nindia.2017.82<\/a>) and a retrospective look at a quietly performed hybridization experiment in 1964 that created a litigon, a cross between a lion and a tigon, in a Kolkata zoo (10.1038\/nindia.2017.46<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Our annual volumes are put together by a group of editors and eminent scientists, who curate the contents from our coverage through the year. The affiliations and research interests of some people may have changed after publication of these articles. These annual volumes are handy reckoners for anyone who wants to keep abreast with the research highlights of the year, newsmakers, trends in research and development, careers and policy issues.<\/p>\n

As Nature India<\/em> enters another decade, it will continue to bring to you the best coverage on Indian science in exciting new formats, such as podcasts<\/a> and possibly videos.<\/p>\n
