Subjournals

In 2017, the creation of three "subjournals" under the Communications brand was announced: Communications Biology , [12] Communications Chemistry , [13] and Communications Physics . [14] In 2020, several additional Communications journals were established: Communications Materials in 2020, [15] Communications Earth & Environment in 2020, [16] Communications Medicine in 2021, [17] and Communications Engineering in 2022. [18]

These open-access journals offer a lower publication fee than Nature Communications, reflecting their more specialist remits. [19] Manuscripts rejected by Nature Publishing Group journals can choose to transfer the manuscript together with reviewers' reports to the Communications-branded journals via an automated transfer service. [20] Alternatively, authors may choose to request a fresh review.
