Venue: School of Physics, Middle Building, Room 212 (物理楼中212大教室)

Abstract:

Lu will talk about the scope of Nature Nanotechnology and an overview of Nature journals. And she will share her experience on the editorial process (the workflow and the statistical data) and disclose the criteria of Nature journals from an insider’s view. Through the talk, you will know better on what kind of papers a highly selective journal is looking for, how the editors decide whether to send a paper out or not, what they will do when the reviewers’ comments are contradictory. And Lu is happy to share with you her personal experience as an editor if you are interested together with some practical tips for writing and submitting a paper to a Nature journal.
