Communications AI & Computing is an open-access journal from the Nature Portfolio publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of computer science and AI. Research papers published by the journal represent notable advances that bring new insight to a specialized area in computing and AI research. Communications AI & Computing complements the other Nature Portfolio journals by providing a high-quality open-access option for computer science while applying somewhat less stringent criteria for impact and importance than the Nature-branded journals, including Nature Communications.

Nature is a weekly international journal publishing the finest peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, elegance and surprising conclusions. Nature also provides rapid, authoritative, insightful and arresting news and interpretation of topical and coming trends affecting science, scientists and the wider public.

Publishing monthly, Nature Energy is dedicated to exploring all aspects of this on-going discussion, from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies. We have a particular interest in studies that advance our knowledge and inform the development of next-generation technologies and solutions. Nature Energy provides a forum for all parties active at the frontiers of energy to come together and learn about the different facets of this sector.
Like all Nature-branded journals, Nature Energy is characterized by a dedicated team of professional editors, a fair and rigorous peer-review process, high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication and editorial independence. In addition to publishing original research, Nature Energy will publish Comments, Perspectives, Reviews, News & Views, Features and Correspondence from across the full range of disciplines concerned with energy.

Nature Sustainability publishes significant original research from a broad range of natural, social and engineering fields about sustainability, its policy dimensions and possible solutions. Understanding how to ensure the well-being of current and future generations within the limits of the natural world is the overarching goal of sustainability research.
Nature Sustainability will cover topics including agriculture and food security, biodiversity conservation, circular economy, cities and urbanisation, climate change in holistic context, development, ecosystem services, education, environmental behaviour, environmental degradation, environmental law, green infrastructure, health and environment, human population, innovation, land use and land use change, natural capital, natural resources management, policy, pollution, poverty, supply chain, waste, water–energy–food and water-soil-waste connections and others, all as related to sustainability.

Communications Materials is a selective open access journal from Nature Portfolio, publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of materials science. Research papers published by the journal represent significant advances for a specialized area of research. The journal is equally interested in publishing fundamental and applied research. Communications Materials complements the other Nature Portfolio journals by providing an open access option for materials sciences while applying less stringent criteria for impact and significance than the Nature-branded journals, including Nature Communications.

Publishing online monthly from January 2019, Nature Machine Intelligence is interested in the best research from across the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics.
