Scientific Reports has just released its first Editorial Board Member-led Collection of original research. The articles in this Collection cover a range of scientific studies within ‘’.

Written by Beth Bauler, Associate Marketing Manager, Scientific Reports

At Scientific Reports, we’re over the moon to announce the launch of our first research Collection Guest Edited by one of our Editorial Board Members, Professor Daniela Grimm of Aarhus University, Denmark. The manuscripts in this Collection are ‘out of this world’ – considering that the Collection is ‘’. (Apollo-gies for the space-related puns. I promise this post will be much more ‘Sirius’ from here on out.)

A new Collection of manuscripts

This Collection highlights research that focuses on the challenges to the health of humans in space during long-term space missions and the physiological changes during short-term altered gravity conditions, the possible influence of space radiation, available countermeasures and possible applications on Earth. 

Some notable manuscripts in the Collection include a paper on , an article on the , and a manuscript on the  (with its of the mice during their journey aboard the ISS). 

The Collection’s Guest Editor is Professor Daniela Grimm, a specialist in internal medicine and clinical pharmacology.

Other Collections at Scientific Reports

Beyond this Collection, a little over a year ago, we began introducing in an array of disciplines, all of which are Guest Edited by Editorial Board Members of our journal. With an Editorial Board of ~9,000+ Members, these Collections allow us to work more closely with some of our Editorial Board Members while also acknowledging the hard work they do for the journal. These Collections also give us the opportunity to highlight new research on exciting topics and in important scientific fields. As an open access journal, Scientific Reports is dedicated to publishing research that is accessible to the global research community. We think these Collections are a great way to better serve researchers across multiple areas in the natural and clinical sciences, while also highlighting original research being conducted in their specific communities.

For now, I hope you enjoy perusing the articles in our , but do keep an eye out for our upcoming Collection launches, including ‘’, which will launch soon and is still accepting papers on a rolling basis.
