Publishing with Nature Human Behaviour

Nature Human Behaviour publishes primary research of outstanding significance into any aspect of individual or collective human behaviour. The journal covers a broad range of social, biological, health and physical science disciplines. It also publishes opinion pieces in the magazine section, where it aims to platform a diverse range of voices and make a positive impact in their community of readers. This talk will introduce the aims and scope of the journal, and will explain the process of submission and peer review with them, for both primary research articles and opinion pieces.
