How to create scientific graphics: an inside look from Nature
Nature Portfolio Editors amplify scientific findings by creating accessible editorials and analysis pieces to explain the impact of published work to a wide audience. Our Editors also build on their relationships with the scientific community to commission authoritative opinion articles from experts in the field. Often, these articles call for action on research or relevant political, ethical and societal issues and propose forward-looking solutions and next steps.
In addition to all this, our Editors and press office teams work with authors and journalists to ensure exceptional work is communicated accurately to as wide an audience as possible.
