[H1] Open science and open access

Open science is essential to solving the world’s urgent challenges

Supporting researchers to open up every output from their research, including publications and preprints, data, code, protocols, methods, and peer reviewBy enabling researchers to share their research openly, together we can increase its use and re-use, speed up scientific advances, deliver efficiencies for research, foster collaboration between disciplines, enable easier translation into economic and societal impact, and improve trust in science. That’s why we support open science across all academic disciplines. By enabling open science practices, and collaborating with partners across the scholarly ecosystem, faster and more effective research systems can be created that operate sustainably and at scale and build an equitable research landscape.

[H2] Open access is the foundation of our support for open science
As an academic publisher, open access (OA) ensures that cutting-edge research is more widely accessible, making it possible to be read, shared, and built on, supporting interdisciplinary knowledge exchange as well as informing policy-making and the general public.Alongside open access for journal articles and books, open data, code, and protocols are foundational elements of open science that enable transparency, reproducibility, and innovation. Sharing research data allows others to validate findings, build upon existing work, and uncover new insights. Open source code ensures that computational methods are accessible and verifiable, while openly available protocols and methods promote consistency and efficiency across studies. By supporting the open sharing of these outputs, we help researchers maximise the impact of their work and contribute to a more collaborative and trustworthy research ecosystem.

[H3] Benefits of open research
From increased usage and citations to increasing reproducibility and trust in research, there are many benefits for researchers, institutions, and their funders

[H3] Funding for open access
Our free support service can help authors identify potential sources of funding available for open access and advice on how to apply

[H3] Open access agreements
OA agreements, including transformative agreements, are playing a vital role in driving the transition at scale, by centralising funding and workflows for open access

[H2] Open science for all
Humanities and Social Sciences researchers are opening up metadata, preprints, journal articles, monographs and book chapters as part of open science. By sharing these outputs, you enable others to understand them and use them for further research. This practice increases transparency and trust, as well as widening the accessibility of Humanities and Social Sciences research to a broader audience.Open science extends to all disciplines, including the Humanities and Social Sciences. Every asset you gather or create, from archival photos and field notes to draft chapters, becomes more valuable when it can be found and cited.

[H2] Our open science initiatives

[H3] Transparent peer review
Authors publishing with Nature now benefit from transparent peer review for primary research articles, enabling greater knowledge sharing and building on principles of open science

[H3] Code sharing
Authors submitting primary papers to Nature-branded journals, including Nature and all the Nature Research journals, can now share their code and data via the Code Ocean platform

[H3] Protocols sharing
Authors can share step-by-step instructions for research methods on the protocols.io platform which is open access

[H3] Data sharing
Make your research more open and reusable by sharing your data through our partnership with the Figshare repository
