Nature Communications will publish research papers in all areas of the biological, chemical and physical sciences, encouraging papers that provide a multidisciplinary approach. The research will be of the highest quality, without necessarily having the scientific reach of papers published in Nature and the Nature research journals, and as such will represent advances of significant interest to specialists within each field.

Rather than going for all default open access the Nature Communication will implement a hybrid model, authors can publish via the traditional subscription route or they can adopt open access way by paying an an article processing charge. All open access content will be released under under a Creative Commons license.
A new trend in science, an increasing acceptance towards all results are good results. After PLoS One and BMC Research Notes now it is Nature Communication. To be honest this is a good sign for science, if one can publish his/her negative, incremental and not so novel results then there will be less or no scope for falsified research or related scientific misconducts.
