In this talk, I will present the general editorial line of Nature Nanotechnology. We pride ourselves to be the most interdisciplinary journal in the portfolio of Nature journals, but what do we mean by interdisciplinarity? We will examine broad areas cutting across the sciences that makes doing nanoscience research so exciting. We will discuss the elements of a good paper, as well as the mindset of a Nature Portfolio editor when assessing a manuscript. I will conclude with a set of recommendations for writing better papers and construct a more compelling story.
Alberto has a first degree in environmental sciences from the University of Urbino in Italy and obtained a PhD in chemistry, with distinction, from Columbia University in 2008. During his PhD he studied reactive intermediates of photochemical reactions in nanoconfined spaces. He then went to Carnegie Mellon University for a postdoc where he studied the photophysical properties of fluorescent polymers used in organic LEDs. He joined Nature Research in October 2010 and has worked at Nature Nanotechnology since March 2012. He has been Chief Editor since January 2022 and he is based in Berlin.
