\begin{abstract}
{This Authorea document template can be used to prepare documents
according to a desired citation style and authoring guidelines.
Abstracts are not always required, but most academic papers have one and
writers should know how to produce a useful abstract. An abstract should
be a very short, clear and concise summation of the entire paper. An
abstract should provide enough of a preview that a typical reader will
know whether or not they wish to read the paper. It should reveal both
the purpose and conclusions of the paper.}\\%

This guide outlines key points for preparing primary research
manuscripts for submission to Nature Communications. The corresponding
author should be familiar with the Nature journals' editorial policies
and is solely responsible for communicating with the journal and
managing communication between coauthors. Before submission, the
corresponding author ensures that all authors are included in the author
list and agree with its order, and that they are aware the manuscript is
to be submitted. For more information on editorial and
\href{http://www.nature.com/authors/policies/authorship.html}{authorship
policies} please review our
\href{http://www.nature.com/article-assets/npg/ncomms/pdf/submission_guide_ncomms.pdf}{Guide
to Authors}.

\section*{Cover letter}

{\label{784353}}

Although optional, the cover letter is an excellent opportunity to
briefly discuss the context and importance of the submitted work and why
it is appropriate for the journal. Please avoid repeating information
that is already present in the abstract and introduction. The cover
letter is not shared with the referees, and should be used to provide
confidential information, such as conflicts of interest, and to declare
any related work that is in press or submitted elsewhere.

\section*{Main manuscript}

{\label{971720}}

The Nature journals are flexible with regard to the format of initial
submissions. Within reason, style and length will not influence
consideration of a manuscript. If revisions are requested, the editor
will provide detailed formatting instructions at that time. For
information on length and formatting consult \emph{Nature
Communications}'
\href{http://nature.com/ncomms/submit/content-types}{content types}.

\section*{Title.}

{\label{897042}}

If possible, this should be 15 words or fewer and should not contain
technical terms, abbreviations, punctuation and active verbs.

\section*{Authors.}

{\label{814762}}

Corresponding author(s) should be identified with an asterisk.

\section*{Abstract.}

{\label{707903}}

Provide a general introduction to the topic and a brief nontechnical
summary of your main results and their implication.

Text length and formatting. Attention to the following details can help
expedite publication if we invite a revision after external review.

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  Articles: an abstract of approximately 150 words, unreferenced; main
  text of no more than 5,000 words and 10 display items (figures,
  tables). As a guideline, Articles allow up to 70 references. Section
  headings should be used and subheadings may appear in `Results'. Avoid
  `Introduction' as a heading.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Methods.}

{\label{919348}}

The Methods section appears in all online original research articles and
should contain all elements necessary for interpretation and replication
of the results. Methods should be written as concisely as possible and
typically do not exceed 3,000 words but may be longer if necessary. We
encourage you to deposit any step-by-step protocols used in your study
in \href{http://www.nature.com/protocolexchange/}{Protocol Exchange}, an
open resource maintained by NPG. These protocols are linked to the
Methods section upon publication.

\section*{References.}

{\label{190269}}

These may only contain citations and should list only one publication
with each number. Include the title of the cited article or dataset.
Acknowledgements (optional). Keep acknowledgements brief and do not
include thanks to anonymous referees or editors, or effusive comments.
Grant or contribution numbers may be acknowledged. Author contributions.
You must include a statement that specifies the individual contributions
of each co-author. For example: ``A.P.M. `contributed' Y and Z; B.T.R.
`contributed' Y,'' etc. See our
\href{http://www.nature.com/authors/policies/authorship.html}{authorship
policies} for more details.

\subsection*{Competing financial
interests.}

{\label{201484}}

Submission of a competing financial interests statement is required for
all content of the journal.

\subsection*{Materials \&
Correspondence.}

{\label{309691}}

Indicate the author(s) to whom correspondence and material requests
should be addressed.

\subsection*{Tables.}

{\label{129844}}

Each table should be submitted as a word document and accompanied by a
short title sentence describing what the table shows. Further details
can be included as footnotes to the table.

\subsection*{Figures}

{\label{530077}}

High-resolution image files are not required at initial submission, but
please ensure that images are of sufficient resolution for referees to
properly assess the data.
