內(nèi)容介紹：
Societal problems are complex and pressing - food, water and energy security in the face of global environmental change; dysfunctional economic systems; growing population and rapid urbanization; global health pressures. We urgently need to understand the drivers of such problems and identify solutions. Nature Research is developing a publishing strategy that goes beyond traditional natural sciences to embrace the social sciences, and tries to synthesize the best interdisciplinary societally-relevant research.
