Abstract
I will give an overview of the different Nature journals; how we editors assess manuscripts and organize peer-review; and what kind of papers we are looking for. I will also share some tricks and tips for preparing manuscripts and cover letters, and I will introduce our new Nature journal – Nature Reviews Bioengineering – which we will launch in January 2023.
Speaker Bio
Christine started at Springer Nature in 2017 as an editor for Nature Reviews Materials, where she handled the topics of biomaterials, nanomedicine and bioengineering. From July 2019, she moved to be a locum senior editor at Nature Nanotechnology, where she was primarily responsible for the areas of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology. In January 2021, she became chief editor of Nature Reviews Materials, and since January 2022, she has been heading the launch of Nature Reviews Bioengineering. Christine has an M.Sci. and Ph.D. in nanobiotechnology from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria. She did her postdoc in the lab of Molly Stevens at Imperial College London, UK, investigating the extracellular matrix and cell–material interactions, and she conducted research at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, where she studied anti-fibrotic biomaterials in vivo.
