ngeo-methods

Use when building the online Methods section of a Nature Geoscience manuscript so every quantitative Earth-science claim is grounded in data, model diagnostics, and quantified uncertainty. Structures Methods and the reproducibility layer; does not design figures or frame the headline result.

# Nature Geoscience Methods (ngeo-methods)

## When to trigger

- Your main text is carrying instrument, sampling, or model-configuration detail that belongs online
- You cannot tell what a reader *needs in the main text* versus what belongs in online Methods
- Referees of a prior draft asked how a number was derived or how uncertainty was propagated
- The Article is over length and Methods-type material is a prime relocation target
- You are unsure how to state data and code availability

## The Nature Methods architecture

Nature Geoscience separates the main text from an **online Methods** section (placed after the main text, divided by topical subheadings; verify current length allowances). The division of labor:
