About the journal

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.
In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.

Instructions to Authors
Online manuscript review
We strongly encourage referees to submit their comments via our online submission system by following the link provided in the editor's email.
For help with this system contact the helpdesk.
About the journals
The Nature Reviews clinical journals commission leaders in the field to write clinical content of the highest quality, authority and accessibility. Content is subject to rigorous review by our in-house editors and/or peer-review, and counsel is provided by the Editors-in-Chief and an international Advisory Boards to ensure comprehensive coverage of topical issues.
Criteria for publication
To be published in Nature Reviews clinical content must meet the following criteria:
- Timely, accurate and balanced
- Important to practicing doctors, researchers and academics in the subspecialty
- Interesting and accessible to practicing doctors, researchers and academics in wider specialties
Confidentiality
We ask referees to treat the review process as strictly confidential, and not to discuss the manuscript with anyone not directly involved in this process. It is acceptable to consult with colleagues but they should be identified to the editors beforehand.
Timing
Nature Reviews journals are committed to rapid editorial decisions and timely publication, and we believe that an efficient editorial process is a valuable service both to our authors and to the readers. We ask, therefore, that referees respond to invitations to review at their earliest convenience and return their comments promptly (normally within 10�4 days of receiving your link to the manuscript). If a delay is anticipated, we ask that referees inform the editors straightaway, so we can keep authors informed and, if necessary, find alternative referees.
Anonymity
We do not release referees' identities to authors or to other referees, except when referees grant permission to be identified.
Competing interests
In the interests of transparency, the Nature Reviews journals have a competing interest policy that applies to authors, editors and referees. A detailed explanation of why this policy has been adopted can be found here. Referees are requested to alert editors in cases where they perceive a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise. Competing interests do not necessarily disqualify a referee from evaluating a paper. The editors will consider whether the case warrants exclusion of a referee, and will take statements into account when weighing referees' recommendations.
