Submission deadline

From spinouts to multinationals, here we celebrate the industrial innovation and industry-academia collaborations that enrich the pages of Communications Engineering. Research presented here has at least one author with their primary affiliation as a commercial enterprise.  We are now formally welcoming contributions which satisfy this criterion in an official call for papers.

We encourage all contributors to consider our policy on the availability of data, materials, code and protocols before submitting.  This policy can be found here: https://www.nature.com/commseng/editorial-policies/reporting-standards.

The Collection will publish original research papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Comments (full details on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in Communications Engineering as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more of our Editorial Board Members and/or the journal's Editors.

This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Communications Engineering more generally. See our editorial process page for more details.

All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular Communications Engineering articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions, which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests. See our Collections guidelines for more details.
