SUMMARY:How to publish a paper in Nature
DESCRIPTION:How to publish a paper in Nature\nProf. Leslie Sage\n\nNature i
 s one of the world's leading scientific journals, publishing many papers t
 hat receive wide attention by the general public. But, Nature is very sele
 ctive —> < 7% of submitted papers are published. In order to m
 aximize your chances of getting published, papers should present fundament
 al new physical insights, or startling observations/results. Theory papers
  pose additional problems, as we want only those papers that are likely to
  be the correct explanation, and not simply exploring parameter space. The
  writing should be clear, concise and directed at the level of a graduate 
 course in the subject. I encourage authors to contact me in advance of sub
 mission of a paper, both to ascertain the appropriateness of the result fo
 r Nature, and to ensure that the writing is close to our standards. Postin
 g to ArXiv is and always has been allowed, but authors should discuss the 
 specifics with their institutional public affairs officers before doing so
 . Lapses in professional ethics seem to be on the rise? I will discuss som
 e examples, and what we should be doing to keep astronomy clean.
