Reviewers' guidelines for the Nature journals

Q. Dear Nature Editors,
I am an editorial assistant for a journal published by the American Educational Research Association, which has just changed editorial teams.The current team is interested in improving the quality of the journal. Your journal was selected because of it's caliber. We are particularly interested in knowing if you have guidelines that manuscript reviewers are asked to follow. If you do have guidelines for your reviewers,we would like to request a copy.

Thank you for your time,

Editorial Assistant
