Nature Communications  is an open access journal that publishes high-quality research from all areas of the natural sciences and has an Impact Factor of 11.470 according to the 2014 Journal Citation Reports ® Science Edition (Thomson Reuters, 2015). This places  Nature Communications  third among all multidisciplinary science primary research journals, with  Nature  being first. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to specialists within each field. Manuscript submissions Please see our  brief guide to manuscript submission  in PDF format for an overview of key information on submitting primary research for publication in  Nature Communications . The  guide to publication policies of the Nature journals (including the guide for referees) , is also available in PDF  format. 投稿需知： http://www.nature.com/ncomms/authors/submit.html Aims and scope of the journal Nature Communications  is an open access, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, physical, chemical and Earth sciences. Papers published by the journal represent important advances of significance to specialists within each field. The scope of the journal reflects Nature Publishing Group''''''''s core strength in the natural sciences, and includes areas in which Nature research journals serve to publish the most outstanding community-focused research papers. In addition,  Nature Communications  encourages submissions in fields that aren''''''''t represented by a dedicated Nature research journal; for example developmental biology, plant sciences, microbiology, ecology and evolution, palaeontology and astronomy. The editors particularly welcome submissions from cross-disciplinary fields, including biophysics, bioengineering, chemical physics and environmental science, although no area is excluded from consideration. In all cases, papers published in Nature Communications  will be of high quality, without necessarily having the scientific reach of papers published in  Nature  and the Nature research journals. Nature Communications  is committed to providing an efficient service for both authors and readers. A streamlined peer-review system, together with the support of an Editorial Advisory Panel, allows a team of independent editors to make rapid and fair publication decisions. Prompt dissemination of accepted papers to Nature Publishing Group''''''''s wide readership and beyond is achieved through a programme of continuous online publication. Published manuscripts are enhanced by innovative web technologies, including interactive browsing and efficient data- and text-mining. Nature Communications  is editorially independent, and its editors will make their own decisions independently of the other Nature journals. It is for authors alone to decide where to submit their manuscripts.  Nature  will continue to publish the most significant advances in science and the Nature research journals will publish landmark papers of interest to their specific communities.  Nature Communications  will publish high-quality papers from all areas of science that represent important advances within specific scientific disciplines, but that might not necessarily have the scientific reach of papers published in  Nature  and the Nature research journals. For papers that could satisfy the scope of more than one Nature journal, the choice of which journal to submit to first lies with the authors. If a paper is rejected from one Nature journal, the authors can use an automated manuscript transfer service to submit the paper to  Nature Communications  via a link sent to them by the editor handling the manuscript. Authors should note that referees'''''''''''''''' comments (including any confidential comments to the editor) and identities are transferred to the editor of the second journal along with the manuscript. The journal editors will take the previous reviews into account when making their decision, although in some cases the editors may choose to take advice from additional referees. Alternatively, authors may choose to request a fresh review, in which case they should not use the automated transfer link, and the editors will evaluate the paper without reference to the previous review process.  Nature Communications  differs from other Nature journals in that editors occasionally seek advice from members of an Editorial Advisory Panel in deciding whether to review manuscripts. Further information about the Editorial Advisory Panel can be found in the  Guide to Authors .
