My talk will introduce the Nature Research portfolio of journals with a particular focus on applied sciences and engineering research publishing. I will talk about the motivation behind the launch of some of our new journals, what we hope to achieve and their editorial scope. I will give an overview of the editorial processes and the journey an article undergoes between submission and publication, discussing what the editors are looking for in a Nature paper. I will conclude with a few comments about our recent publishing initiatives and policies.
