Nature Communications is an online-only, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, physical and chemical sciences. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to specialists within each field.
The correct abbreviation for abstracting and indexing purposes is Nat. Commun.
With more [articles] scheduled for publication in the coming weeks, these first articles showcase Nature Communications' functionality including a figure preview in article abstracts and an archive browsable by subject, date or article type. Papers published in Nature Communications also benefit from chemical annotation which links important compounds to external resources of more information.
Access to the Nature Communications (including full text articles) is FREE until September 30, 2010. After that date, subscribed access content (there is an open access option) will become fee-based.
As a born-digital publication, Nature Communications has, and will continue, to make full use of enhanced web technologies. Our online-only presence affords us flexibility in the number of papers we publish and the schedules in which they are made available. We have also structured our website to provide an intuitive browsing experience: readers will be able to browse by date of publication, subject category and personal preferences.
Perhaps the most important feature of Nature Communications is the opportunity for authors to pay an Article Processing Charge to publish their papers without restriction – with 'open access' (http://tinyurl.com/yf3axlm). If authors choose this option, their papers will be published under one of two Creative Commons licenses and be clearly delineated on the website with an 'open' logo. In welcoming submissions from the widest possible range of communities, we hope to provide a high-visibility platform for the communication of the broadest research and to make that research widely available to others.
