# Nature Immunology (nature-immunology)
## Journal positioning
Nature Immunology is Springer Nature's premier specialist immunology journal, sitting at the top of the discipline alongside Cell Press's Immunity. It publishes discoveries that shift the conceptual framework of immunology — new mechanisms of immune-cell development, activation, regulation, and effector function, as well as findings that redefine how the immune system intersects with infection, cancer, autoimmunity, and tissue homeostasis. The significance bar is explicitly field-shifting, not merely incremental mechanism; a new co-stimulatory molecule, a new cytokine role, or a new cell subset requires a conceptual storyline that changes how immunologists think about a process broadly. The readership is the full international immunology community; papers that are compelling only to subspecialists rarely pass triage. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Springer Nature Nature Immunology site.
## When to trigger
- The author names Nature Immunology as the target for a mechanistic immunology study.
- An immunology paper with high-significance in vivo mechanistic findings is being placed among Nature Immunology, Immunity, Science Immunology, and Journal of Experimental Medicine.
- The author needs to understand how Nature Immunology differs from its immediate competitors in significance bar and editorial culture before submission.
- The author needs Nature Immunology's desk-reject triggers and a credible alternative-venue list.
