Note, is not in the the flagship journal, it's an affiliated journal under the Nature imprint. There are about 40 other such: https://www.nature.com/siteindex https://www.nature.com/siteindex (see under "N"). It's a Springer joint. Note that the counterpart journal, Science, is published by the AAAS, and is not for profit the way Nature is. If you're interested in science, Science is a great one-stop shop and it's about $120 per year. Sometimes one wonders whether the chase for exciting stories affects some Nature publications.

Slightly off-topic: I would be interested in keeping up the latest cutting-edge science developements, but I expect a Nature subscription is too heavy-duty for that. Not necessarily because of the price, but I don't think I would end up using it. Instead, what would fit my interests better would be a science newsletter that, say, once a month summarizes the most interesting recent developements and sends them to my inbox. I would then use that as a jump-off point and even read the full articles I care about in Nature. Are there any such newsletters?

  How about one of these e-letters [0] backed up by a Science digital subscription to actually read the content? Referring to a recent TOC [1], the "Research Articles" would likely be more in-depth than you want, but there are also summarizing "Perspectives", "Features", and "Reviews" that I generally find OK for medium-difficulty reading.

Thanks for the clarification. I hadn't noticed the "not in the real Nature" status when reading it.

  Sure...the bar for Nature is really high...friends at my work have been through the editorial/revision process there and it's generally very demanding.

  Same. I saw the domain name, and thought "How did this get published in Nature???"

Note, is not in the the flagship journal, it's an affiliated journal under the Nature imprint. Oh. Yes, there are lots of those. They publish too many overhyped battery technology articles. Don't know how bad it is in other fields.
