Nature
British, science-establishment; editorially aligned with mainstream scientific consensus
Nature is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious scientific journals, published since 1869 and now part of Springer Nature, majority-controlled by the German Holtzbrinck family publishing group. Its editorial positions consistently reflect mainstream scientific consensus, and since January 2025 its news and opinion coverage has been sharply and consistently critical of the Trump administration's cuts to U.S. research budgets, federal science workforce, and scientific advisory structures.
