"The Lancet has evolved as a family of journals, but retains at its core the belief that medicine must serve society, that knowledge must transform society, that the best science must lead to better lives. The Lancet Discovery Science suite of journals is setting the stage for the future by providing rapid and indispensable evidence that assists researchers and clinicians in identifying new opportunities that have the potential to improve the health and well-being of people across the globe."
- Richard Horton, Publisher, The Lancet Group and Editor-in-Chief, The Lancet
