Nature Reviews Drug Discovery is a monthly peer-reviewed review journal published by Nature Portfolio. It was established in 2002[1] and covers drug discovery and development. The editor-in-chief is Peter Kirkpatrick.[2] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 112.288, ranking it 1st out of 158 journals in the category "Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology"[3] and 1st out of 279 journals in the category "Pharmacology & Pharmacy".[4]
Reviews are commissioned to specialists and supplemented with glossary explanations for non-specialist readers and illustrated with figures drawn by Nature's in-house art editors. Besides reviews, the journal publishes analysis articles based on existing datasets (e.g. metaanalysis), progress articles that focus on outstanding issues, and perspective articles—typically opinions or historical pieces.[5]
