Just FYI, the idea that Nature Communications is inherently "untrustworthy" is completely unfounded, you can't take a quick look at rankings or briefly skim a wikipedia page and get a good picture of how "serious" or trustworthy a journal is. It is a generally a well-regarded journal, I don't personally know any actual scientists who would turn their nose up at research published in it just because of the journals name (although, there are some Nature-branded journals that many do instinctively scoff at, mostly Scientific Reports, but IMO that's unwarranted too). Most of the big names in my sub-field of physics have co-authored a paper in this journal.
