week launched a website dedicated to authors and peer-reviwers.

We also provide feedback links so potential authors, peer-reviewers, scientists and other readers can ask questions about these topics. This blog (Peer to Peer) and our authors’ blog (Nautilus) are integrated into the site.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/2007/01/author_and_referee_website_lau.html#wpn-more-36" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-36" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/2007/01/author_and_referee_website_lau.html#comments" title="Comment on Author and referee website launched">1 Comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/tell-a-friend?id=36">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-36"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Author+and+referee+website+launched+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html&title=Author+and+referee+website+launched">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html&title=Author+and+referee+website+launched">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html&title=Author+and+referee+website+launched">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fpeer-to-peer%2F2007%2F01%2Fauthor_and_referee_website_lau.html&title=Author+and+referee+website+launched">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-31" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-3 wpn-odd wpn-author-maxine-clarke wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-general cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2006-12-13T19:21:21+00:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2006-12-13">13 Dec 2006 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="19:21:21+0000"> 19:21 GMT</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/2006/12/peer_to_peer_is_welcomed.html'>Peer to Peer is welcomed</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/author/Maxine-Clarke" title="Maxine Clarke">Maxine Clarke</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/peer-to-peer/category/general" rel="tag">General</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>Peer-to-Peer and Nautilus have received their first welcome to the scientific blogosphere from outside the Nature Publishing Group.

Here we provide information and news about the peer-review process at Nature Publishing Group journals. We also debate the general topic of peer-review, and warmly welcome your feedback and comments. We answer questions about peer review; give guidance about how to peer-review for our journals; and provide a discussion forum for policy and other matters concerning peer-review. This blog also contains the Nature peer review debate which took place during 2006.</div></div><ul class="footer col2 clear"><li class="ealert"><a
