Abstract and article type
Follow Article / Letter / Brief Communication rules—not BMC’s four-heading abstract by default.
Initial submission is often format-flexible; Nature typesets after acceptance.
Ethics and references
Human studies need ethics and consent; trials need registration. Data/code availability follows the live guide.
Use sn-nature—not Vancouver or sn-basic.
