How to find the instructions to authors

Q. Hello,
I am looking for the "Instructions to Authors" and I do not find them. I take care about bibliographic management systems and I want to know which style the journal Nature prefers regarding text citation and the reference list.
Thank you
A Scientist.

A. Dear Dr Scientist
On every page of the journal Nature's website is a column on the left-hand side containing information -- one of these states "for authors and referees". Clicking on that takes you to the journal's author information index page.
The section on reference lists can be found here.
Best wishes

For authors wishing to submit to other Nature journals, each journal operates a similar system. Each journal is described briefly here, with a link to the home page and submission system of each.
