Calls for papers

This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions of original preclinical and clinical research studies focused on addressing unmet needs in organ transplantation.

This joint collection welcomes submissions that advance our understanding of the mental and physical impact of working in healthcare on the health of healthcare workers.

With this collection, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports aim to publish research articles spanning the breadth of AMR and across microbial pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites). This includes, and is not limited to epidemiological monitoring of resistance incidence in clinical and environmental settings, novel strategies aiming to combat or prevent AMR (i.e. drug repurposing, drug synergy treatment, and vaccines), improvements in diagnostics, and subsequently tailored treatment, of drug-resistant infections.

This joint Collection seeks primary research articles related to all aspects of infectious and non-communicable childhood respiratory diseases. Topics include biomarkers, vaccines, pathology, therapies, microbiome, epidemiology, and public health.

This cross-journal collection welcomes content on the development and testing of geroprotectors at any stage including clinical trials.

With this Collection, a partnership between Nature Communications, Communications Medicine, and Scientific Reports, we welcome submissions of primary research papers that focus on cancer immunotherapy.

The Editors at Communications Psychology, Communications Medicine, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports invite submissions that address the contextual conditions, psychological predictors and effects that diminish or widen the gap between public advice, people’s intention to make healthy choices, and actual behaviour and health outcomes.

With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology, Communications Medicine, and Scientific Reports invite submissions covering the breadth of research carried out in the field of cancer epigenetics. We will highlight studies aiming at the improvement of our understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cancer initiation, progression, response to therapy, metastasis and tumour plasticity as well as findings that have the potential to be translated into the clinic.

This Collection welcomes submissions that address the challenges in clinical implementation of AI approaches to facilitate or improve clinical decision-making, with a focus on medical practice or education and on green, fair, and ethical AI.

This collection welcomes submissions of articles that can help further our understanding and/or offer solutions to address the global sanitation crisis.
