\maketitle

This package provides a style for \pkg{biblatex} which follows the
guidelines of the journal \emph{Nature}. The citation style is numeric
and unsorted. The bibliography style follows the pattern of the layout
used in the journal. The style should be loaded in the usual way
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[style=nature]{biblatex}
\end{verbatim}
The References section of this document demonstrates the format 
generated by the package using the \texttt{biblatex-nature.bib} database
of example citations.

\DescribeOption{articletitle}
Article titles are not always included in the bibliography: for example,
standard articles in \emph{Nature} use these but \emph{Letters to the Editor}
do not. To control this behaviour, the boolean option \opt{articletitle}
is provided; this is set \opt{true} as standard.

\DescribeOption{intitle}
The boolean option \opt{intitle} determines whether the title of books
is printed for \texttt{inbook} and \texttt{incollection} entries. It is
set \opt{false} as standard.

Suggestions for improvement and bug reports can be logged in the package
issue database, found at
\url{https://github.com/josephwright/biblatex-nature/issues}, or can
