    A new study that reveals under-citation of women physicists invites individual and journal-level action to tackle discrimination.

  • Editorial |

    The Guided Open Access pilot we are trialling with five other journals in the Nature Portfolio will continue into 2022. We highlight some of the main lessons we’ve learned so far.

    They say a picture tells a thousand words, so by that accounting, the visual word count of a Nature Physics paper doubles that of its text. So how best to use that budget?

  • Editorial |

    Ensuring that a manuscript is vetted by experts is an important part of the editorial process, so we strive to choose the best reviewers to help us do this. How we manage the selection is a nuanced process.

  • Editorial |

    Along with five other journals in the Nature Portfolio, Nature Physics will pilot a new Guided Open Access trial in 2021. We explain how it works.

    A scientist’s legacy is defined not only by their research but also by their teaching. Stronger efforts should be made to preserve and celebrate the exposition of physics at all levels.

  • Editorial |

    As a result of feedback from the research community, we are strengthening our encouragement for authors to share a certain amount of data with their papers.

    The strengths and limitations of peer review have long been documented. The concept of ergodicity from statistical physics may shine a new light on them.

  • Editorial |

    Some Springer Nature journals, including Nature Physics, are mandating Open Researcher and Contributor IDs (ORCIDs) for the corresponding authors of accepted papers. We provide some context to this initiative.
