About the Journal

Launched in January 2017, Nature Human Behaviour is an online-only monthly journal dedicated to the best research into human behaviour from across the social and natural sciences. All editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors.

Nature Human Behaviour is a subscription-based journal, with a self-archiving policy six months after online publication. Nature Human Behaviour does not offer open access licensing options for articles, although specific types of papers are occasionally made open access free of charge, owing to their exceptional value to the community. The application of an open access licence is at the discretion of the editors; full details of our policy can be found on our self archiving and license to publish page.
