Nature paper formatting

Flagship Nature applies tight limits to text, display items, and caption construction, with different limits and structures for Letters and Articles. We format the material you supply and approximate the submission layout; the journal handles production editing and final published typesetting.

Tips before upload

·Specify Letter or Article and attach the current guide; text and figure allowances differ.
·Group related results into a composite figure with consistent panel letters and clear caption keys.
·Supply text, caption, and display-item counts so limit overruns can be flagged before delivery.

We approximate the author guide — we are not the journal's final production desk. Content stays yours.
