Abstract:

Nature Publishing Group offers a number of journals for the publication of peer-reviewed papers. This talk will present an overview of the Nature family of journals, including: 1) criteria for publications, and what the editors are looking for, 2) advice on how to prepare a paper for submission, and 3) the dos and don’ts of scientific publication. The aim of this talk is to improve understanding of Nature journals, and how to prepare and submit a manuscript for consideration.





Brief Bio:

John Plummer earned a MEng in materials science and engineering from the University of Sheffield, UK, and remained there for a PhD, investigating glass formation and the mechanical properties of metallic glasses. He then moved to Imperial College London as a postdoctoral researcher and to lecture on deformation mechanisms in materials. His research focused on the use of small-scale mechanical testing and in situ synchrotron experiments to elucidate the micromechanisms of deformation in crystalline metals and ceramics. As an editor, John started with Nature Communications in January 2013, and then joined Nature Materials in October 2014, where he handles manuscripts on structural materials, glasses, multiferroics and other topics of condensed matter physics.
