1913年，Naturwissenschaften的創(chuàng)始人阿諾德·柏林納(Arnold Berliner)為該雜志制定了如下目標(biāo):“它應(yīng)該讓所有從事科學(xué)領(lǐng)域工作的人(無(wú)論是研究人員還是教師)知道，他們?cè)谧约旱念I(lǐng)域之外對(duì)什么感興趣。”阿爾伯特·愛(ài)因斯坦、維爾納·海森堡、馬克斯·馮·德勞埃、卡爾·馮·弗里施、康拉德·洛倫茨·曼弗雷德·艾根等人都曾致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。在未來(lái)，世界上頂尖的研究人員將繼續(xù)在“評(píng)論文章”中報(bào)告他們的研究領(lǐng)域的現(xiàn)狀，在“簡(jiǎn)短的原創(chuàng)文章”中，他們將介紹新的研究結(jié)果，在“書(shū)評(píng)”中，他們將對(duì)重要的新文學(xué)作品進(jìn)行批判性的評(píng)價(jià)。

In 1913 Arnold Berliner the founder of Naturwissenschaften formulated the following goal for the journal: " it should inform all those working in scientific fields (either as researchers or teachers) about what interests them outside their own fields." Authors such as Albert Einstein Werner Heisenberg Max von der Laue Karl von Frisch Konrad Lorenz Manfred Eigen etc. have in the past worked to bring this about. In the future too top researchers worldwide will continue to report on the status of their subject areas in 'Review articles' in 'Short original articles' they will introduce new results and in 'Book reviews' they will give critical evaluations of important new literature.
