About the Scientific Reports Template
Scientific Reports is Nature's flagship open access journal covering all areas of the natural and clinical sciences. As one of the most published journals in the world, it has a broad reach across multiple scientific disciplines.
The Scientific Reports LaTeX template is available through Overleaf and uses either the custom wlscirep.cls file or the standard article document class. The manuscript should be formatted as single-column text without justification. Pages are numbered with Arabic numerals and the default Computer Modern fonts are used for text, with the symbols font for Greek characters.
Unlike many conference templates, Scientific Reports does not have a strict page limit, though concise writing is encouraged. The journal uses numerical references only. When submitting LaTeX files, note that .bib files are not accepted — you must include the .bbl file. Overleaf handles this automatically when generating the submission zip file.
