Journal Guide

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals.Subjects covered * Aging and dementia * Brain imaging * Epilepsy * Genetics * Headache * Infectious disease * Injury, repair and rehabilitation * Movement disorders * Neural tube defects * Neurodegenerative disease * Neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation * Neurometabolic disorders * Neuromuscular disease * Neurooncology * Neuropsychiatric disorders * Neurosurgery * Public health * Ethics * Pain * Peripheral neuropathies * Sensory systems * Sleep * Spongiform encephalopathies * Stroke * White matter disease (including demyelinating and dysmyelinating disorders).

Neuroscience is the archetypal multidisciplinary science encompassing a variety of fields that share the common goal of attempting to provide a complete understanding of the structure and function of the central nervous system. A series of advances in molecular, developmental and cognitive neuroscience, stimulated by the advent of powerful new experimental techniques and theoretical approaches, have now rendered some of the most enduring neurobiological questions increasingly tractable. This explosion of knowledge has in turn created a need for new tools to efficiently organize and communicate this information. Nature Reviews Neuroscience covers the breadth and depth of modern neuroscience by providing an authoritative, accessible, topical, and engaging first port of call for scientists who are interested in all aspect of neuroscience -- from molecules to the mind.

Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.Subjects covered * Rheumatoid arthritis * Osteoarthritis * Metabolic bone disease (including osteoporosis, osteonecrosis and Paget disease of bone) * Connective tissue diseases (including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren disease and Raynaud phenomenon) * Spondyloarthropathies (including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis and psoriatic arthritis) * Acute inflammatory arthritis (including monoarthritis, oligoarthritis, polyarthritis, infectious/septic arthritis, crystal deposition diseases and Lyme disease) * The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, juvenile dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis) * Fibromyalgia * Polymyalgia rheumatica * Vasculitis syndromes (including systemic vasculitides, and large, medium and small vessel vasculitides) * Periarticular rheumatic disease (including bursitis and tendonitis) * Pediatric rheumatic disease * Miscellaneous rheumatic diseases * Therapy (including pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, surgery, splinting, and complementary and alternative treatments) * Pain management * Rehabilitation * Epidemiology * Genetics * Immunology * Inflammation * Health services, economics and outcomes research.

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal.Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:* Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules* Structure and function of multi-component complexes* DNA replication, repair and recombination* Chromatin structure and remodeling* Transcription* RNA processing* Translation* Regulation of transcription and translation* Functions of noncoding RNAs* Protein folding, processing and degradation* Sorting and trafficking of proteins and RNA* Signal transduction and intracellular signaling* Membrane processes* Cell surface proteins and cell-cell interactions* Molecular basis of disease.

Scientific Reports is an online, open access journal from the publishers of Nature. We publish scientifically valid primary research from all areas of the natural and clinical sciences. 

Water is at the heart of human civilization. Throughout history, societies have progressed by improving access to clean water for drinking, for sanitation and for agriculture, and by removing contaminants from water to reduce the effects on the environment and improve public health. Our modern society faces new challenges that require innovative approaches to our relationship with water: climate change affects water systems by increasing droughts and floods, which in turn reduce water availability, increase contamination of water resources and eventually affect both drinking and sanitation facilities; and the rising global population generates more stress on water resources and challenges for public health. 
Publishing monthly, Nature Water covers all aspects of research that are connected to this evolving relationship between society and water resources. We publish in the natural sciences (primarily Earth and environmental science), in engineering (including environmental, civil, chemical and materials engineering), and in the social sciences (economics, human geography and sociology, among other disciplines), with a particular interest in regards to interdisciplinary research. Our aim is to publish studies that will have an impact on fundamental understanding,  on practical technological applications and on the potential for policy implementation.
