(Press-News.org) Many researchers dream of publishing their work in world-leading journals like Nature. But how do you catch the attention of editors and reviewers at such high-impact publications?
On Sunday, September 14, 2025, an international online webinar will bring answers straight from the source. Prof. Willie Peijnenburg, a distinguished environmental scientist from Leiden University in the Netherlands, will share practical strategies on how to write and present research that makes it into top-tier journals.
Prof. Peijnenburg has authored more than 675 scientific papers, with over 26,700 citations to his name. Drawing on his extensive editorial experience with respected journals such as Environmental Science & Technology and Aquatic Toxicology, he will explain how the review process works, what editors are really looking for, and how researchers can position their manuscripts for success.
The webinar will also dive into the specific challenges of publishing in Nature and its sub-journals. According to Prof. Peijnenburg, the keys are novelty, clarity, and conciseness. “It’s crucial to explain very briefly and very clearly why your research is new and how it advances the field,” he notes.
This event will be hosted by Prof. Yang Liu of Kunming University of Science and Technology and is open to researchers, graduate students, and anyone interested in learning how to publish their work more effectively.

Cataract surgery on both eyes can be carried out safely and effectively in one go
2025-09-11
Copenhagen, Denmark: The results of two new studies show that it can be safe, effective and practical for most patients to have cataract surgery on both eyes in one day. Both studies will be presented at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).
The first study [1], by Danish researchers, shows that the majority of patients can manage at home on their own after cataract surgery on both eyes, and carry out essential tasks such as preparing food and using their mobile phone.

Personalized brain stimulation shows benefit for depression
2025-09-11
A more precise and personalized form of electric brain stimulation may be a more effective and faster treatment for people with moderate to major depression compared to other similar treatments, according to a UCLA Health study.
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, examined the effectiveness of a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment known as high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) in treating depression. Transcranial direct current stimulation uses electrodes placed on a patient’s ...
AI uncovers hidden rules of some of nature’s toughest protein bonds
2025-09-11
(Auburn, AL) Imagine tugging on a Chinese finger trap. The harder you pull, the tighter it grips. This counterintuitive behavior also exists in biology. Certain protein complexes can form catch-bonds, tightening their grip when force is applied. These interactions are essential in processes ranging from how bacteria attach to our cells to how tissues in our body hold together under stress.
But a fundamental mystery has lingered: Do catch-bonds need to be stretched to a certain threshold before they strengthen, or do they activate as soon as force is applied?
In a new study published in Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, Dr. Marcelo Melo (Colorado State University, ...
Innovative approach helps new mothers get hepatitis C treatment
2025-09-11
Hepatitis C, a bloodborne virus that damages the liver, can cause cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure and death if left untreated. Despite the availability of highly effective treatments, the prevalence of hepatitis C infection remains high, particularly among women of childbearing age, who account for more than one-fifth of chronic hepatitis C infections globally. Within this group, new mothers are especially vulnerable because treatment has traditionally required outpatient follow-up appointments during the challenging postpartum period.
Now, a new study on an innovative clinical program developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine ...
Identifying the Interactions That Drive Cell Migration in Brain Cancer
2025-09-11
Ikoma, Japan—Ever wondered how the different cells in our body communicate with each other to fulfill their different roles—be it cells repairing a tissue injury or immune cells moving towards an invading pathogen (microorganisms that causes disease) to engulf it? To move forward or migrate, cells must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the reason for spread of deadly cancer cells, such as in glioblastoma or brain ...

The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering has named the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory as the recipient of the 2025 SAMPE Organizational Excellence Award. The national award is presented annually in recognition of extraordinary contributions within the advanced materials and processes community across industrial, academic and governmental sectors.
“ORNL is leading the way in carbon fiber and composites research, and we’re helping move these materials from the lab into real-world use. ...
University of Oklahoma researchers aim to reduce indigenous cancer disparities
2025-09-11
OKLAHOMA CITY – Researchers from the University of Oklahoma Health Campus have published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine describing a novel care coordination and communication program and its potential for helping Indigenous people access the lifesaving cancer care that they need.
American Indian and Alaska Native residents in Oklahoma face significant cancer disparities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Oklahoma State Department of Health, ...
Study reveals new evidence, cost savings for common treatments for opioid use disorder in mothers and infants
2025-09-11
Over the last 20 years, substance use-related deaths have more than doubled for women of reproductive age. Overdose deaths are now a leading cause of maternal mortality in the U.S., and in some states, the leading cause.
Still, substantial gaps remain in understanding how different treatment approaches influence the short- and long-term health of mothers and infants, as well as their broader economic impacts over time.
New research published this month in the journal JAMA Pediatrics found that while established medications for opioid use disorder in mothers — buprenorphine and methadone — ...
Research alert: Frequent cannabis users show no driving impairment after two-day break
2025-09-11
Scientists from the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine found that, in the largest such study to date, frequent cannabis users did not display impairments in driving performance after at least 48 hours of abstinence. The new findings have implications for public health as well as the enforcement of laws related to cannabis and driving.
Approximately three-quarters of Americans live in a state where cannabis is legally available, and about 15% of Americans ...
Turbulence with a twist
2025-09-11
Turbulence is everywhere, yet much about the nature of turbulence remains unknown. During the last decade, physicists have discovered how fluids in a pipe or similar geometry transition from a smooth, laminar state to a turbulent state as their speed increases. Surprisingly, in the newly emerging consensus, the process could be understood using statistical mechanics, not fluid mechanics, and was mathematically equivalent to the way in which water percolates down through a coffee filter.
In a new twist, UC San Diego researchers Guru K. Jayasingh and Nigel Goldenfeld ...
