一、自然指数（Nature Index）简介

自然指数（Nature Index）于2014年11月首次发布 ，最初选定了68种期刊，2018年6月改为82种 ，2023年6月15日，新增了64种代表健康科学领域的医学期刊。至此，自然指数期刊由原来的82种调整增加至145种，主要涵盖生物科学（Biological sciences）、化学（Chemistry）、地球与环境科学（Earth & environmental sciences）、健康科学（Health sciences）、物理科学（Physical sciences）等五个领域。

Nature Index网址： https://www.nature.com/nature-index/。运用这个数据库，可以根据各机构的论文发表数量及类别来进行排名和期刊索引，这一数据库的实时在线版免费为公众开放。

目前，Nature Index已经成为国际公认的重要指标，用于衡量机构、国家和地区在自然科学领域的高质量研究产出与合作情况，在全球范围内具有广泛的影响力。
