A ‘modest’ display item is one that, with its legend, occupies about a quarter of a page (equivalent to ~270 words). The typical length of an 8-page article with 5-6 modest display items is 4300 words. The typical length of a 6-page article with 4 modest display items (figures and tables) is 2500 words (summary paragraph plus body text). Please refer to our annotated example to see how the summary paragraph should be constructed. This summary paragraph should be structured as follows: 2-3 sentences of basic-level introduction to the field a brief account of the background and rationale of the work a statement of the main conclusions (introduced by the phrase 'Here we show' or its equivalent) and finally, 2-3 sentences putting the main findings into general context so it is clear how the results described in the paper have moved the field forwards. It is aimed at readers outside the discipline. However, the final print length is at the editor’s discretion.Īrticles start with a fully referenced summary paragraph, ideally of no more than 200 words, which is separate from the main text and avoids numbers, abbreviations, acronyms or measurements unless essential. In print, physical sciences papers do not normally exceed 6 pages on average and biological sciences papers do not normally exceed 8 pages on average. ArticlesĪrticles are original reports whose conclusions represent a substantial advance in understanding of an important problem and have immediate, far-reaching implications. In addition, Nature publishes other submitted material as detailed below. Formats for Nature contributionsĪrticles are the main format for original research contributions to Nature.
We also recommend that, before submission, you familiarize yourself with Nature’s style and content by reading the journal, either in print or online, particularly if you have not submitted to the journal recently.
We recommend you read this in full if you have not previously submitted a contribution to Nature.
