Nature Methods is pleased to publish several papers presenting methods developed by members of the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, which facilitated the generation and analysis of the first complete human genome.
It’s been a busy start to 2022 in the editorial offices of Nature Methods. We summarize several developments here: new content types, editorial initiatives, travel and outreach, and recent Focus issues.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of methodological advancements in basic biological research. We believe that method development will continue to propel both fundamental and applied studies on SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens.
Highly multiplexed tissue imaging continues to show its power for biomedical discovery. In this issue, we publish tools and guidance for implementing this class of methods and reporting subsequent results.
Nature Methods is introducing a new article format: Registered Reports. We encourage all authors interested in submitting comparative analyses of the performance of established, related tools or methods to familiarize themselves with this alternative approach to peer review.
Deep Learning based approaches for protein structure prediction have sent shock waves through the structural biology community. We anticipate far-reaching and long-lasting impact.
Community-driven initiatives are proposing standards to improve the reporting and reproducibility of machine learning in biology. We support these developments, some of which are described in this month’s special issue.
Constructing a fair and accurate author list can be one of the most fraught aspects of manuscript publication. We provide some advice and resources for authors at all career levels.
Professional editing can be a rewarding career. Here we discuss what the job entails, highs and lows, how to prepare for this career, the interview process and more.
Computation goes hand in hand with contemporary biological studies. We describe a few trends in computational science that are helping drive new biological knowledge.
Researchers, funders, database managers and journals all have a role to play in accounting for diversity and prioritizing inclusion at the basic science level.
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the primary data resource for structural biology. On its 50th anniversary, we celebrate the future of this ever-growing field.
At Nature Methods we are happy to engage with prospective authors and readers. Here we go through the why, what, who, when and how of talking to journal editors.
New year, big changes: Nature Methods now offers authors the ability to publish research papers on an open access basis, including via a Guided Open Access pilot. Here’s how it works.
