ABSTRACT
Launched in January 2007, Nature Photonics is a monthly journal dedicated to optics and photonics that publishes top-quality, peer-reviewed research in all areas of light generation, manipulation and detection. This talk, although with an emphasis on Nature Photonics, will introduce you to all the existing and new Nature journals, and cover the detailed information and guidelines on scientific manuscript preparation and submission.
Also presented is an overview on the editorial and peer-review processes in all Nature journals. You will get to know what editors seek, how to write a good cover letter and a good scientific paper, the peer review process that your paper goes through and how to make an appeal. More importantly, you will find out how you can contribute to the journals apart from publishing your research.
