Manuscript Preparation

Review Article

A Review (currently invitation only) should not only summarize, highlight, and critique recent literature, but more importantly synthesize and illustrate conceptual frameworks and future directions on a topic of broad interest. A review article should consecutively include, Cover Page, Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Main Body (usually divided into sections with headings), Funding, Author Contributions, Acknowledgements, and References. The use of figures, tables and drawings is strongly encouraged. The in-text citation and references should be formatted as those described for Research Article. A typical Review Article should not exceed 8,000 words in the main text (excluding the title page, references, figure legends, and tables) and have no more than 7 display items (figures and tables) in total.
