Perspectives

Cover Letter Cover Letter requirements are not specified.
Abstract An abstract is required. Abstract should not normally exceed 300 words.
Manuscript Articles should follow the Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion system. Keywords relevant to the work must be supplied at submission, and single-anonymous submissions must include an acknowledgements section before the references section with conflict of interest and funding disclosures.
References A single referencing system must be used consistently throughout the article. References should list all relevant work, provide enough information to locate each cited article, and avoid including material that is really a footnote to the text.
Figures & Tables Figures and tables must be included within the text, and Word submissions should where possible also supply figures as separate graphics files. Tables should be used only when they improve conciseness and should not use colour, while figures must be numbered sequentially and have self-contained captions included in the text rather than in the graphics files.
