In this talk, we will unpack this process and explain how editors make their decisions. We will introduce Nature Physics (and other journals in the Nature Portfolio) and describe how we see our role in the scientific community and what we are trying to achieve. Building on that, we will discuss how we select papers for peer review based on the likely breadth of interest in the results that they contain, and how we interpret the information in peer review reports in terms of technical and editorial concerns. We’ll also discuss some techniques for writing papers and leave plenty of time for questions and discussion. Bio: Before joining Nature Physics in 2017, David carried out theoretical research on graphene and other two-dimensional materials, and topological materials. He completed a Ph.D at Lancaster University in 2007, and then did post-doctoral work at the University of Manitoba (Canada) and the University of Maryland (USA) before undertaking an Assistant Professorship at Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, Sweden. David is based in the Nature Physics Berlin office. Event Location: BRIM 311
