Help your users make their own discoveries

​​​​​​​We understand the benefit to the scientific community when authors post a preprint of their paper and as such, are fully compliant with self-archiving policies.  We support content sharing with our service, SharedIt and provide a variety of metrics to help authors and institutions assess the impact of their output. We strongly advocate reproducibilty by ensuring the data, code and materials featured in our papers are accessible, and the research we publish can be used and built on for generations to come.

The research that helped everything fall into place

Science is full of momentous discoveries, the impact of which has driven technology, medicine, policy and understanding forwards, starting new fields of study and ultimately changing the world. Breakthroughs such as: Using fingerprints as a way to identify criminals in 1880, Watson and Crick deciphering the structure of DNA in 1953, the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system in 1995 and the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997.

The value of Nature Portfolio Journals

All Nature Portfolio journals have dedicated, professional and independent in-house editorial teams. Advocates for their fields, their broad perspectives on their disciplines mean that they know what to look for when reading through submissions. When they see research that is significant and can push science forward, they work with authors and reviewers to critically assess the manuscript and use our reach and influence to give it the widest possible exposure.
