Founded in autumn 1869, ''Nature'' was first circulated by [[Norman Lockyer]] and [[Alexander Macmillan (publisher)|Alexander Macmillan]] as a public forum for scientific innovations. The mid-20th century facilitated an editorial expansion for the journal; ''Nature'' redoubled its efforts in explanatory and [[scientific journalism]]. The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the creation of a network of editorial offices outside of Britain and the establishment of ten new supplementary, speciality publications (e.g. ''[[Nature Materials]]''). Since the late 2000s, dedicated editorial and current affairs columns are created weekly, and [[Political endorsement|electoral endorsements]] are featured. The primary source of the journal remains, as established at its founding, research scientists; editing standards are primarily concerned with technical readability. Each issue also features articles that are of general interest to the scientific community, namely business, funding, scientific ethics, and research breakthroughs. There are also sections on books, arts, and short science fiction stories.
