Acta Pharmacologica Sinica announces a new partnership with Nature Publishing Group

Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (APS) announces a new partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG). The signing ceremony for the co-publishing agreement was held on March 31, 2008, in Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIMM).

APS is sponsored by the Chinese Pharmacological Society and SIMM. APS is also supported by the grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Scientific Publishing Foundation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the China Association for Science and Technology.

APS provides broad coverage of all aspects of pharmacology, both experimental and clinical. Edited by Prof Jian Ding, Director of SIMM, APS endeavors to promote pharmacological research and aims to become a leading journal with great influence in life sciences.

APS will be able to take advantage of NPG’s strengths including editorial expertise, pioneering web technologies, innovative formats and high-quality production to provide premium information for scientific researchers in the public and private sectors, government agencies and educators. Papers published in APS will receive high exposure through nature.com, which has over 35 million page downloads per month, and can also benefit from press coverage and quick publication, including publication ahead of print.

We expect that this new partnership will help the journal to go from strength to strength in the future. The landmark agreement also marks the next steps in NPG’s broader strategy to publish the best of Chinese science.
