The Nature journals aim to publish some of the most exciting science for the community-but understanding the editorial processes can be challenging. Nature Communications is an open access journal that publishes important advances in biology, physics, chemistry, Earth sciences, and related areas. This talk aims to give authors the necessary tools to prepare their work for publication in a Nature journal. I will begin with a general introduction to Nature Communications, focusing on its position within the Nature Publishing Group. The benefits of the open access model for the author and reviewer will be highlighted. Finally, the journal’s editorial criteria including the role of the authors, reviewers, and editors will be discussed in detail.
