Welcome to the Nature research figures guide

At our flagship publication Nature, we consider figures to be a core part of your paper, deserving of care and attention. A well-edited figure increases comprehension and expands the reach of your research. Good visuals typically develop a life of their own in presentations, websites and social media.

To aid your publication journey, we have created this site as a guide. We provide guidelines, templates and advice. Following our recommendations will help avoid delays in the acceptance process.
