Its different divisions act as a network of independent publishers, united in their commitment to quality publishing. We strive to support our authors as effectively and efficiently as possible and are committed to building the best possible relationships; our aim is to be authors' publishers of choice.

Nature Publishing Group offers authors over 70 high-quality scientific and medical journals in print and online, and is committed to providing the best possible service to authors at every stage of the publication process.

The authors and referees@npg section on nature.com provides information on editorial, peer-review and publisher policies, author benefits and services. The NPG journals that publish peer-reviewed original scientific research welcome unsolicited online submissions. Where content is commissioned by editorial teams, editors will normally advise authors as to how to submit their article. Authors can submit a manuscript online by using the link provided on the home page of each journal. To find the most suitable journal, a full alphabetical list of journals is available, or authors can browse by subject.
