Scientific Reports paper formatting

Scientific Reports is Nature Portfolio's open research-report journal, not flagship Nature Letters. We format manuscripts around a clear IMRaD-style flow, auditable methods, and the author's data availability statement, while only approximating the submission layout.

Tips before upload

·Organize Methods so materials, procedures, and analysis are traceable, including ethics details when applicable.
·Provide the final Data Availability text plus repository links or accession numbers exactly as submitted.
·Number every Fig. and Table sequentially, matching each label to its in-text callout and legend.

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