# Nature Sustainability (nature-sustainability)
## Journal positioning
Nature Sustainability is a Springer Nature journal publishing research that addresses sustainability challenges by integrating insights across natural systems, social systems, and applied interventions. It sits at the tier immediately below Nature itself, and it expects a demonstrable advance in understanding or actionable solutions for sustainability — not merely a well-executed study in a sustainability-adjacent field. The readership spans ecologists, social scientists, engineers, geographers, and policy researchers, so the framing must be accessible across disciplines while being methodologically rigorous within the author's home discipline.
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 editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Nature Sustainability or Nat Sustain as the target venue.
- A manuscript bridges natural and social dimensions of a sustainability problem and the author is unsure whether the significance level clears the Nature-family bar.
- A study generates actionable findings for policymakers, practitioners, or resource managers and needs reframing beyond a disciplinary audience.
- The author wants to assess desk-reject risks and credible alternative venues before submitting.
