Journal Guide

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.Subjects covered * Andrology and endocrinology * Benign prostatic hyperplasia * Biostatistics and clinical trials * Endourology and stones * Female urology * Imaging and radiology * Infections, inflammation and prostatitis * Male factor infertility * Pathology * Pediatric urology * Prostate cancer * Renal-cell cancer * Risk factors and epidemiology * Sexual dysfunction * Trauma and reconstruction * Upper urinary tract dysfunction, renal failure and transplantation * Urinary incontinence, urodynamics and lower urinary tract dysfunction * Urologic oncology (including nonprostatic cancer).

Nature Sensors publishes fundamental, applied, and engineering research across the full spectrum of sensing technologies, spanning biological, computational, engineering, and systems domains. The journal covers the development of novel sensor materials and devices, as well as the design, integration, and broader application of sensor systems. Emphasizing technological advancements in sensor design, materials, signal processing, and data analytics, Nature Sensors highlights the transformative societal impact of sensing technologies. The journal aims to bridge scientific research, engineering, and industry, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle complex challenges in areas such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, bio-integrated devices, automotive, civil infrastructure, and smart technologies. 

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal.Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:* Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules* Structure and function of multi-component complexes* DNA replication, repair and recombination* Chromatin structure and remodeling* Transcription* RNA processing* Translation* Regulation of transcription and translation* Functions of noncoding RNAs* Protein folding, processing and degradation* Sorting and trafficking of proteins and RNA* Signal transduction and intracellular signaling* Membrane processes* Cell surface proteins and cell-cell interactions* Molecular basis of disease.

Nature and Culture is a forum for the international community of scholars and practitioners to present, discuss, and evaluate critical issues and themes related to the historical and contemporary relationships that societies, civilizations, empires, regions, nation-states have with Nature. The journal contains a serious interpolation of theory, methodology, criticism, and concrete observation forming the basis of this discussion. The mission of the journal is to move beyond specialized disciplinary enclaves and mind-sets toward broader syntheses that encompass time, space and structures in understanding the Nature-Culture relationship. The Journal will furthermore provide an outlet for the identification of knowledge gaps in our understanding of this relationship.

An international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
