Publishing Social Sciences with Nature Portfolio Journals

How do social science researchers fit into Nature journals? In this talk, Sebastián Villamizar Santamaría will demystify the process of publishing social science research with the Nature Portfolio.

He has worked extensively on communicating technical findings to diverse audiences and has collaborated with human rights organizations on editing, copyediting, translation, and data visualization. Sebastián is currently an Associate Editor at Nature, where he handles and helps expand the journal's broader social sciences content.
