DESCRIPTION:Dr. Luigi Martiradonna\, Editor of Nature Materials\nBio: Lui
 gi Martiradonna received a first degree in electronic engineering\nfrom th
 e Polytechnic University of Bari and a PhD in innovative\nmaterials and te
 chnologies from the University of Salento in Italy.\nHaving been trained i
 n nanotechnologies for quantum-dot-based\noptical devices\, during his pos
 tdoctoral experience at the Institute of\nIndustrial Science in Tokyo he b
 ecame interested in photonic-crystal\nstructures embedding colloidal nanoc
 rystals. As a postdoctoral\nresearcher and team leader of the Istituto Ita
 liano di Tecnologia\, he\nthen worked on the development of technologies f
 or the detection and\nstimulation of neuronal synaptic signals. At Nature 
 Materials\, which\nhe joined in January 2013\, Luigi handles manuscripts i
 n the broad\narea of applied physics\, with a particular interest in organ
 ic and\nflexible electronics\, photovoltaics and materials synthesis.\nNat
 ure Materials offers authors high visibility to their work. A team of full
 -time\, professional editors selects and commissions articles that have th
 e best chances to appeal to the journal's broad audience. In this talk I w
 ill convey the editor’s perspective on the life of a manuscript after su
 bmission to Nature Materials\, and provide an overview of some editorial i
 nitiatives in the Nature journals aiming at improving the peer-review proc
 ess and the transparency of published manuscripts.
