Calls for papers

This Collection welcomes submissions of primary research articles that report novel molecular and mechanistic insights underpinning cellular movement.

This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions on novel reward and anti-reward mechanisms regulating motivated behaviors in health and disease.

This cross-journal collection presents articles that advance our understanding of volcanic calderas and their associated risks and hazards. We welcome submissions from diverse disciplines such as seismology, geochemistry, petrology, numerical modelling and remote sensing, as well as advances in risk and hazard mitigation strategies.

The editors wish to invite submissions of original biological research that focus on any crosstalk between the neuronal and immunological systems.

This cross-journal collection welcomes submissions of clinical and preclinical work that explores all aspects of obesity, including causes, pathophysiological mechanisms, incidence, prevention, treatment and impact.

This Collection and open call for papers brings together work that researches the role of trust for society and - by extension - a functional democracy.

All participating journals invite submissions of original research articles, with Nature Communications and Communications Chemistry also considering Reviews and Perspectives which fall within the scope of the Collection. All submissions will be subject to the same peer review process and editorial processes as regular Nature Communications, Communications Chemistry, and Scientific Reports articles.

This Collection aims to bring researchers together to advance our understanding of electron and phonon transport, the interaction between thermoelectric and other physical properties, as well as the issues occurring in making high-efficiency devices.

Manuscripts exploring glycans in the broadest sense, such as basic, translational, and applied glycobiology research fall within the scope of this collection.

This collection focuses on the Geology of our Moon and new insights we gain from remote sensing data, meteorites and returned samples, and modeling efforts.
