Authors are often curious about what goes on at the journal after their paper is submitted. What happens to their work? Why is a press release issued and how is it created? What happens when a paper is featured in News and Views? What are the editors like? We hope that Nurture, the magazine for Nature journal authors, helps to lift the veil on some of these processes.
The latest edition of Nurture features articles on authors and editors of the Nature journals, including our latest addition Nature Photonics. It also describes the new Question & Answer format in _Nature_’s News and Views section, offers highlights from _Nature_’s history, looks at the new online publications Nature Reports Avian Flu and Nature Network Boston, provides instructions on how to write a best-selling science book and describes a new tool for visualizing the structure of proteins.
The print edition of Nurture is sent to authors who have published a paper in the past year. It is also available free of charge as a digital edition, which you can access on the author and reviewers’ website.
