Nature Methods is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering new scientific techniques. It was established in 2004 and is published by Springer Nature under the Nature Portfolio. Like other Nature journals, there is no external editorial board and editorial decisions are made by an in-house team, although peer review by external experts forms a part of the review process. The editor-in-chief is Allison Doerr.

== Method of the Year == Each January, Nature Methods designates a "Method of the Year" — a field, approach or technique that the editors judge to have enabled major recent advances in the life sciences. The selection is accompanied by a special issue containing an editorial, primer-style commentaries and a "News Feature" by the journal's technology editor. The award has been given annually since 2007 and frequently highlights experimental and computational techniques that transform how biological data are generated or analysed.
