Nature is now available on the iPhone

The nature.com iPhone application allows you to access science news stories and the latest published research from Nature Publishing Group. A fast, attractive interface lets you get straight to the news and research you need and lets you read it comfortably and with minimum fuss. You will be asked to create an account when you access the apps for the first time. This app has the following features:
  • You can read on your iPhone or press on the save button and a downloadable citation for that article will appear on a website.

  • You may set up saved searches on PubMed or nature.com so that you can be alerted to new, relevant research as soon as it gets published.

  • There is a zoom an pan feature which allows you to see the figure enlarged and in more detail


During the preview period you will not need to have a subscription to any Nature to read full text articles through the iPhone application. Eventually this will change but you’ll always be able to read the full text of certain articles and the titles and abstracts for everything else. Presently only content from Nature journal is available, but the publisher plans to add content from other journals and websites as soon as possible.
