Calls for papers

This Scientific Reports collection welcomes original research on how air pollution affects local flora, fauna, and microbial populations in the ever-altering ecosystems, including multidisciplinary approaches to conservation efforts to save biodiversity and ecosystem.

This Collection welcomes original research articles that advance our understanding of the role of glial cells and their neural interactions in neurological disorders.

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments.

In this cross-journal collection, we showcase studies that focus on adaptation in urban and rural areas.

This Collection invites original research on algorithmic developments and practical applications of fuzzy logic in decision-making, aiming to enhance their interpretability, adaptability, and robustness.

This Collection is dedicated to showcasing original research focused on reducing system costs through the design of modular storage units for grid integration, increasing gravimetric and volumetric storage capacities via the engineering of nanomaterials, and improving the energy efficiency of hydrogen release processes by developing catalysts that enable low-temperature dehydrogenation.

With this Collection, a partnership between Nature Communications, Communications Medicine, Communications Biology, and Scientific Reports, we welcome submissions of primary research papers that focus on immune cell engineering for cancer therapy. The journals are particularly interested in preclinical studies proposing new engineering strategies and therapeutic developments.

This Collection showcases original research on novel IDS architectures, detection algorithms, and evaluation frameworks, with a focus on improving accuracy, and scalability for diverse computing environments.

This Collection offers a platform for original research on karst geomorphology, including contributions from landscape morphology, speleology, sedimentology, geophysics, geochemistry, and other related fields, welcoming multidisciplinary and integrative studies.

This Collection explores how biological, environmental, and social factors across the lifespan shape health outcomes, with particular attention to chronic disease, multimorbidity, and healthy aging. We welcome original research on longitudinal health trajectories, behavioral and socioeconomic determinants, and epigenomic influences, in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3.
