Calls for papers

This Collection welcomes submissions focused on the study of sleep that consider factors that negatively impact sleep health, evaluate approaches to improve sleep and further the mechanistic understanding of sleep processes in health and disease.

In this cross-journal collection, we invite contributions that assess the effectiveness of local, regional, and global air pollution policies and actions, and we also welcome studies that address national and international air pollution governance and cooperation.

This collection covers research on intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic variables, non-biological traits, preferences, behaviors and environments, and how they relate to social mobility.

This joint collection welcomes clinical, epidemiological, and public health research focused on multimorbidity.

Plastics are a crucial part of modern life, however tens of millions of tonnes of plastic waste is disposed of each year, much of which ultimately ends up in the ocean. In this Collection we showcase studies on understanding and mitigating (micro)plastic pollution, with a special focus on reducing plastic waste in the environment to coincide with 2024's upcoming binding UN treaty on Ending Plastic Pollution.

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 cross-journal Collection welcomes the submission of primary research articles that focus on oligodendrocytes lineage cells in development, physiology, and disease.

The editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology, Communications Engineering and Scientific Reports invite submissions on Microphysiological Systems, specifically Engineering Advances, Modeling Biological Phenomena and Modelling Disease & Drug Testing.

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