Use when targeting Nature Physics (Nat Phys) or deciding whether a physics manuscript fits this conceptual-advance, broad-audience Nature-family venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Nature Physics (nature-physics)

## Journal positioning

Nature Physics is the Springer Nature flagship for physics across all subfields, publishing results that represent a genuine conceptual advance in physics and can be communicated compellingly to the broad physics community. It operates within the Nature family's editorial culture: heavy triage before peer review, a premium on framing the advance for non-specialists within the discipline, and an expectation that the result will shift how physicists think about a problem rather than merely adding incremental precision. The readership is physicists across all subfields who rely on Nature Physics to identify the most important cross-cutting developments.

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 site and the Nature Physics editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author is targeting Nature Physics for a result framed as a cross-subfield conceptual advance.
- A manuscript has a strong physics result but the author is unsure whether to target Nature Physics versus `physical-review-letters`, `physical-review-x`, or a subfield journal.
- The author needs to understand Nature Physics's editorial-triage culture and framing expectations before writing the introduction.
- A paper has been returned without review and the author needs to assess re-routing.
