The talk is about publishing in the Nature Portfolio from the perspective of an in-house editor. It first contains an introduction to the new journal, Communications Engineering. Then, there will be guidance on how to select the right journal for your manuscript followed by tips for writing a research article. Finally, it will conclude with information about the editorial process – the journey a manuscript takes from submission to publication. It will be 45 minutes with 15 minutes of questions.
