The Nature Publishing
Group (NPG) has increased its presence in the virtual reality world
of Second Life (SL) launching
the Elucian Islands, its new official area.
Speaking at the launch event, Timo Hannay, Publishing director of Nature.com
said the reason for developing the chain of islands was complimentary to
Nature’s strategy, “to help scientists communicate more effectively among
themselves as well as provide the latest scientific information.”
As well as a platform for scientists to improve collaboration and knowledge distribution, the new islands will be shared with parent company Macmillan Publishers. Hannay said “in addition to the Second Nature islands we have expanded to include a large central island dedicated to all areas of learning, not just science”
