A New Science of Learning, Accessible to All

Posted by Lillienne Zen | Categories: Featured, Science communication and outreach

A New Science of Learning, Accessible to All

In partnership with Nature Publishing Group, the Queensland Brain Institute is launching an open access journal dedicated to the science of learning – npj Science of Learning. We want to create a forum through which neuroscientists, psychologists and educators interact to produce a deeper understanding of how we learn. Just as important as this interdisciplinary approach is the open access model we are adopting. Education affects us all, and we want the findings, discussions and debates within the journal to be accessible to everybody, academic or not.  Read more

Posted by Alex Jackson | Categories: Events, Featured, Science communication and outreach

Many scientists, as evidenced by recent discussions, appreciate the value of an open access journal – the convenience of being able to immediately and freely access the latest articles, for example, and the value in a freer exchange of scientific ideas. But what may be less obvious is why this matters to the community served by the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) – the patients whose lives are directly impacted by the advances and disappointments in Parkinson’s disease research.  Read more

Scientific Data and the Summer of Data

Posted by Alex Jackson | Categories: Communities Happenings, Featured, Science communication and outreach

"There is an increasing need to make research data more available, citable, discoverable, interpretable, reusable and reproducible."

It’s been a busy few weeks for the open access team at Nature Publishing Group. In China, we announced the launch of a new Microsystems & Nanoengineering journal with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A study published in Scientific Reports on the potential for nanoparticles being used for invisible barcodes has caught the attention of the media. And last, but by no means least, we launched the first content for Scientific Data.  Read more
