Author-guideline skill for Nature Portfolio food journals: Nature Food and npj Science of Food. Use to format or check a manuscript for these journals — strict article-type word limits, unreferenced short abstracts, Nature superscript-numbered references, display-item limits, and Methods placement. Triggers: submit to Nature Food, npj Science of Food guidelines, Nature Portfolio food formatting. Also fires when the user wants to publish on/in this journal, format a manuscript for it, or match its reference/citation style.

# Nature Portfolio Food Journals — Author Guideline Skill **Publisher:** Nature Portfolio · **Verified:** 2026-07 · Sources: [Nature Food content types](https://www.nature.com/natfood/content) · [Nature Food formatting](https://www.nature.com/natfood/submission-guidelines/aip-and-formatting) · [npj Science of Food content types](https://www.nature.com/npjscifood/content-types). Confirm at source. ## Applies to - **Nature Food** — selective; strict word/display limits (below). - **npj Science of Food** — open access; more flexible length but same Nature referencing and rigor. ## Nature Food article types (word/display limits) | Type | Main text | Abstract | Display items | References | |---|---|---|---|---| | Article | ≤3,000 words (excl. abstract, Methods, refs, legends) | ≤150 words, unreferenced | ≤6 (figs/tables) | ~50 (guide) | | Perspective | ≤1,500 words (incl. abstract, refs, legends), no headings | ≤70 words | ≤2 | — | | Brief Communication | ≤1,500 words (incl. everything) | ≤70 words | small | ~20 | | Review / Analysis | commissioned; confirm limits | — | — | — | Title ≤10 words / ~90 characters. Methods placed after main text (Articles), not counted in the word limit. ## npj Science of Food Standard Article structure (Introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods); no rigid word cap but concise; abstract ~150–200 words; open-access APC applies. ## Reference style **Nature style: superscript numbers** in order of citation (`...as shown previously^12`). Reference list numbered. **Article titles are required** for Nature Food long-form manuscripts. Include DOIs. Example: > 12. Author, A. B. & Author, C. D. Title of the article. *Nat. Food* **4**, 123–130 (2023). ## Structure & sections Articles: Title → Abstract (unreferenced) → main text with headings (Introduction implicit) → Results → Discussion → Methods → References → Figure legends → Tables. Figures cited as `Fig. 1`, `Fig. 2` in sequence. A data availability and code availability statement is mandatory; reporting summary required. ## Figures & tables High-resolution (≥300 dpi at final size); RGB for online; fit ~180 mm double-column; sans-serif labels (Helvetica/Arial); avoid red/green combinations for accessibility. Editable tables. ## Submission checklist - [ ] Correct article type + within word/display limits · [ ] Abstract unreferenced within limit - [ ] Nature superscript-numbered refs with article titles + DOIs · [ ] Methods after main text - [ ] Data & code availability statements · [ ] Reporting summary (Nature Food) - [ ] Cover letter (significance, fit) · [ ] Figures ≥300 dpi, accessible palette ## Formatting constraints ```yaml journal_group: Nature Portfolio (Nature Food, npj Science of Food) reference_style: nature-superscript-numbered require_article_titles: true article_word_limit: 3000 abstract_words: {article: 150, short: 70} display_items_max: 6 methods: after-main-text data_availability: required figure_dpi: 300 ```

food-ppt

Turn a food & nutrition review report, evidence brief, or manuscript into a fully EDITABLE PowerPoint (.pptx) that opens in PowerPoint / Keynote / Google Slides with every title, bullet, table, and figure as a native editable object — nothing flattened to an image. Converts the outputs of food-research, food-deep-research, food-paper, and food-pipeline (or any Word/PDF/Markdown/txt source) into a well-designed deck: it plans the outline, writes concise grounded slide text with presenter notes on every slide, places figures as movable picture objects, builds the .pptx via python-pptx, and QA-checks editability. Design informed by taste-skill. Use to make slides, a presentation, a PPT, or a deck from a report or paper. Triggers: make a PPT, create slides, presentation from my report, turn this review into slides, build a deck, PPTX from my paper, journal-club slides, conference presentation.

agri-ppt

Turn an agricultural-science review report, evidence brief, or manuscript into a fully EDITABLE PowerPoint (.pptx) — every title, bullet, table, and figure a native editable object, nothing flattened to an image. Same machinery as food-ppt, but for agricultural work: converts the outputs of agri-research, agri-deep-research, agri-paper, and agri-pipeline (or any Word/PDF/Markdown/txt source) into a well-designed, grounded slide deck with presenter notes on every slide. Never invents content beyond the source. Use to make slides, a presentation, a PPT, or a deck from an agricultural report or paper. Triggers: make a PPT for my agronomy paper, slides from my soil science review, presentation from my field-trial report, agricultural journal-club slides, build a deck from my crop research.

food-proposal

Master orchestrator for preparing research proposals and funding-application proposals in food, nutrition & agricultural science. Like food-pipeline, but for proposals: it resolves the target funding scheme's format first (headings, order, page/word limit, font, assessment criteria), then drafts from scratch (food-deep-research for the knowledge base, food-paper to write, food-review to review) or revises an existing draft after first understanding the field. Enforces the scheme's length limit and required headings and aligns content to the assessment criteria. Built-in schemes: ARC Discovery EOI, ARC Discovery Full Application, and the UoM Ag & Food project proposal; if a scheme isn't included it asks the user to upload the guideline and extracts the format. Triggers: write a grant proposal, ARC Discovery application, funding application, research proposal, project proposal, revise my grant, prepare an EOI.
