3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Front Matter
Front Matter is usually commissioned.
Please note that all manuscript types require an abstract.
Review: A summary and discussion of the relevant literature.
Mini-Review: A sharply focused, selectively referenced summary and assessment of the relevant literature. Particularly effective when discussing cutting-edge advancements in the discipline.
Perspective: A lightly referenced scholarly opinion piece, focusing on current or future directions in a field. A Perspective can serve to assess the science directly concerned with a particular topic or report on relevant issues that may arise from the discipline (for example, policy, effects on society, regulatory issues and controversies).
