Abstract

To many researchers the editorial process at scientific journals is a black box that converts submitted manuscripts into published papers — even more so at selective journals like Nature Physics, where editors select only a small number of papers to be sent to review. In this presentation, I will give a ‘behind-the-scenes’ tour of the editorial process at Nature Physics and provide some insight into our decision-making process.

Biography

Nina Meinzer is a Senior Editor & Team Leader at Nature Physics.

In 2016, Nina started her editorial career at Nature Communications before moving to Nature Physics in 2019, where she look after a broad range of optics and photonics papers.
