‘The Lancet’ has been in existence for 189 years and is considered an institution in the publishing industry. Monocle meets the staff of the British medical weekly that is always authoritative and occasionally controversial.
The first Nature weekly came out in 1869, covering topics such as physics, chemistry and clinical medicine. Nature Outlook is its monthly supplement that examines a pertinent science or health issue in depth.
