Dr Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief of Nature Communications, has been appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief of Nature. Dr Skipper will be the eighth Editor-in-Chief in Nature's 149-year history and the first to come from a life sciences background. She will succeed Sir Philip Campbell, who is moving to the newly created role of Editor- in-Chief of Springer Nature on July 1, 2018.
Dr Skipper has spent over 15 years working for Nature, first joining in 2001. She has held a range of roles as her responsibilities and portfolio have grown: Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Genetics; Associate Publisher, Nature Life Sciences; Senior Editor and Team Leader, Nature; and as Executive Editor of the Nature Partner Journals. After a brief sojourn at Altius Institute for Biomedical Sciences as Director of Scientific Communications and Publishing, she rejoined the company in 2017 as Editor in Chief, Nature Communications.
At Nature, Dr Skipper was instrumental in developing the innovative ENCODE Explorer and Epigenome Roadmap projects, which pushed the boundaries of science publishing beyond the conventional research paper. At Nature Communications, she has been a strong champion of open research.
