Abstract

       The editorial and publication process at high impact journals, such as Nature Genetics, is often perceived as confusing and difficult to navigate for researchers. My presentation will provide an overview of the editorial process at Nature Genetics, including how we prioritize papers in our current focus areas and how the publication process works. I will then discuss how to best organize and present your manuscript prior to submission, from an editor’s perspective. Finally, I will briefly discuss some of the current and ongoing initiatives at Nature journals that are aimed at providing the highest quality author and referee services.
