News & Comment

A special prize for outstanding research in high-performance computing (HPC) applied to COVID-19-related challenges sheds light on the computational science community’s efforts to fight the ongoing global crisis.

How has computational science been recognized throughout Nobel history?

We provide some recommendations on how to report machine learning-based research in order to improve transparency and reproducibility.

This month at Nature Computational Science, we welcome a new member to our team. We would like to take this opportunity to briefly describe who we are and what our main responsibilities entail.

We discuss the role of computational science as a multidisciplinary field and our editorial practices to promote communication and research across different disciplines.

While it is crucial to guarantee the reproducibility of the results reported in a paper, let us also not forget about the importance of making research artifacts reusable for the scientific community.

The shift to virtual meetings has made networking harder, but it has also brought forth benefits to the scientific community that should be embraced moving forward.

Science can advance at a faster pace when taking advantage of the synergy between theory and experimentation.

How do editors at Nature Computational Science evaluate papers before deciding on whether to send them out to peer review?

Our authors now have the option to publish the review reports alongside their manuscript.

Software is essential to computational science research, and yet it hasn’t achieved first-class status when it comes to citations. It’s time for all of us in the research community to change this behavior.

Computational and mathematical models are at the core of myriad research developments across different domains. We pay tribute to the importance of computational science by providing a dedicated home among the Nature portfolio for this inspiring field.
