What type or articles does the Nature magazine have? I looked online a little but I'm interested to hear from a subsriber. It also said it costs $80 a year for a student, why is it so much?

Here are some reasons why that is:

 

Because Nature is one of the more respected and prestigious Journals.

 

They are published weekly

 

Full price for 1 year is $200 bucks. (looks like it was reduced. last time i checked it was significantly more)

 

Edit: forgot to add:

 

Journal Nature itself covers all types of topics.

 

They also have specific subject Nature journals which are a lot more expencive.

It's not a magazine like scientific america. It's like half articles/essays and half research papers.

Oh. It said $80 was the student rate. What would qualify as a student, would high school?

Oh they don't really check. You just sign up. I had a student subscription, and I never had to show any proff.
