FAIR principles

The Nature Portfolio journals' editorial policies for primary scientific research can be found in these guidelines. The Nature Portfolio includes all journals with Nature in their name, the Communications journals, the Nature Portfolio journal series, Scientific Reports and Scientific Data. A list of these journals and a description of the relationship between them can be found here. In August 2015, the Nature Portfolio journals became members of the Committee on Publication Ethics. We will be guided by COPE guidelines; however, the Nature Portfolio journals will continue to make independent decisions based on our existing policies and principles.
