Editorial Policies
Editorial
Written by the journal editors, our guest editorialist may cover announcements, highlights of the journal content, position statements, and journal updates. The Editor-in-Chief may request an editorial to accompany an accepted manuscript. Editorialists should provide a balanced opinion on the paper in question and must not have any conflicts of interest that could compromise their objectivity. Any concerns about potential conflicts of interest should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief before the editorial is written. Editorials should not exceed 1500 words, may contain a total of one table or figure (optional), and do not require an abstract. Editorials should generally not be divided into subheadings, although occasionally some subheadings may provide clarity. Opinions expressed in editorials should not be excessively speculative and should be supported by data published in the medical literature. Editorials are subject to editing and final approval by the Editor-in-Chief.
