Guide for Authors
INTRODUCTION
Types of paper
Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication: full length articles, original research papers, review articles, short communications, technical notes, editorials, book reviews, case reports, feature articles.
Please ensure that you select the appropriate article type from the list of options when making your submission. Authors contributing to special issues should ensure that they select the special issue article type from this list. Types of article
The Journal publishes Research Papers, Short Communications and Graphical Reviews. We support the "Your Paper Your Way" Elsevier guideline which allows authors to submit their main manuscript file without any formatting requirements.
Research Papers are not limited in size. However, we do strongly recommend to authors to be as succinct as possible in the best interest of the readers and the dissemination of the work. Short Communications should not contain more than 2 Figures and no more than 4000 words, double-spaced, Arial font, size 11.
Graphical Reviews (GRs) are a short, structured article type, which primarily use illustrative schematic summaries to convey only key concepts and novel ideas on a major research interest in the lab. GRs present an opportunity to succinctly showcase your research contributions within a wider overview of recent developments within a field. GRs are designed to communicate information in a visually appealing representation of the current state of research on a specific topic. The overall message should be accessible to a broad scientific audience. GRs have a format of 3-5 (color) schemes/figures, ideally formatted as easily downloadable (PowerPoint) slides or the like, for use by readers for educational purposes. The text body should provide the reader with 'backbone' information and context, connecting the material presented in the figures. GRs cannot include unpublished data, new hypotheses, formal mathematical models, or meta-analysis. GR article structure:
Abstract: up to 250 words
Body (exclusive of figure legends): up to 2000 words, double-spaced, Arial font, size 11
3-5 color schemes/figures summarizing the state of the specific topic covered. Each figure needs to be self-explanatory, including sufficient annotations to allow the readers to quickly grasp the content of the figure.
Figure legends must be straight to the point, providing additional details which deepen the message of the figure itself. Please ensure that the reader, who may not be a direct expert in the field, can easily grasp the information provided.
References: no more than 25 key articles that exemplify the most significant recent advances in the field.
Illustrations: Authors are expected to use their own illustration resources. They may also make use of Elsevier's https://webshop.elsevier.com/illustration-servicesIllustration Services to ensure the best presentation of their images, in accordance with all technical requirements.
An example of a GR is available https://media.journals.elsevier.com/content/files/gr-example-final-31053420.pdfhere

Ethics in publishing
Please see our information on Ethics in publishing.
Declaration of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Changes to authorship
This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and (2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement'. Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
