Manuscript Types: Overview
Manuscripts should be constructed according to the guidelines for the specific type of article (Table). All articles must be submitted with a summary statement. The summary statement is a single sentence that best summarizes the manuscript. The sentence is typically taken from the Discussion, but it may be an original sentence that summarizes the important findings of your manuscript. Summary statements may not exceed 255 characters.
