At Nature Reviews, editors work closely with authors and referees to create high-quality, timely and accessible resources for the scientific community. But what exactly do editors do? We put together a series of editorials that demystify editorial process and explain the different stages an article goes through, from idea to publication.
At Nature Reviews Physics we ask authors for synopses for all our longer articles. Why do we add this step to our publication process, and what kind of feedback do we give at this stage?
Making a good review article is a team effort, involving authors, editors and referees. In honour of Peer Review Week, happening this month, we spotlight the essential role of peer reviewers.
In addition to the different types of review articles Nature Reviews Physics regularly publishes, readers can also find a wealth of comment, opinion and news articles in our pages. Here is a quick guide to our content.
