Inside Nature Communications
Cristiano Matricardi received a B.S. degree from the University of Camerino, Italy, and a M.Sc. in physics and chemistry from the University of Pavia, Italy. He obtained his PhD from the Institute of Material Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CISC), with a thesis on hybrid plasmonic-photonic nanostructures for enhanced spectroscopies. After his doctorate, Cristiano started as an Assistant Editor at MDPI and then moved to Springer Nature where he is now a Senior Editor. His team deals with quantum, atomic, molecular, and optical physics, and he is responsible for the content in the areas of photonics, nonlinear optics, lasing, nano-optics, and metamaterials.
Understanding the role of the editorial evaluation is of primary importance, especially in a changing landscape where diversity is flourishing but at the same, the importance of differences seems to be flattened. Since its launch in 1869, Nature has seen its mission as two-fold: facilitating the prompt communication of the most important scientific developments to the relevant research communities, while at the same time fostering a greater appreciation of these works amongst the wider public. Although the publishing landscape for scientific research is currently undergoing a period of rapid change, these core principles remain largely unchanged. This talk will endeavor to explain how Nature Portfolio editors navigate the complex landscape of science publishing and at the same time remain firmly bound to the core principles of the Journal.
