Author Guidelines
Manuscript Format
Original Article
Original manuscripts may be up to 7000 words (excluding abstract, online methods, references, and figure legends) and no fewer than 3000 words, with an abstract of no more than 200 words (unreferenced), 4–8 figures and/or tables (additional figures and/or tables and methods can be submitted as supplementary material), and no more than 125 references. Concise Articles have fewer figures and tables and are up to 4000 words (excluding abstract, online methods, references, and figure legends).
Review Article
Review manuscripts should be at least 4000 and a maximum of 10,000 words, with an abstract of no more than 200 words (unreferenced), 4–8 figures and/or tables (additional figures and/or tables can be submitted as supplementary material), and no more than 200 references.
Commentary
Commentaries present a balanced viewpoint(s) on an area of research, a specific field within a larger discipline, and/or discuss current advances and future directions. They do not have Materials and Methods and are shorter than Review Articles (≤4000 words, 40 references).
Perspective
Perspective is a format for relatively short (≤3000 words, 40 references) scholarly discussions of research that are either too technical for a Commentary or advocate a controversial position or a speculative hypothesis, or discuss work primarily from one group.
