How Japanese science is attempting to turn a corner

The first Nature Index supplement of 2023 — on Japan — is now live, with dozens of articles (including partner articles) and stunning original photography.

The central theme of the Japan supplement is how Japanese science is attempting to turn a corner following a decade in which it has lost ground compared with some other leading research nations.

How this effort is represented by the next generation of researchers is core to the supplement, which features profiles — and stunning photography — of five rising stars.

One of the articles, on Japan’s plans to boost research funding, has led to an editorial in a recent issue of Nature.

Partner branded content articles in the supplement bring to life a partner organization’s research, from a novel cancer-drug strategy to two Tokyo-based academics challenging the status-quo.
