Five years ago, Nature Research launched the Nature Partner Journals, collaborating with preeminent scientists and our global partners to publish high-quality open access research.

As editors committed to working with the international research community to publish work of great timeliness and interest, we are dedicated to publishing research addressing the urgent societal needs and challenges. In honor of our 5th anniversary, we've selected some of our articles that support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Browse the open access collection: go.nature.com/2GmemWB
