Abstract An abstract is required for review articles. The abstract must not exceed 350 words. The abstract must be structured. The abstract must include Background, Main body of the abstract, and short Conclusion.
Manuscript Review articles do not have a word count limit. The manuscript must include Background, Main text, and Conclusions sections. The manuscript must include three to ten keywords and, if abbreviations are used in the text, a list of abbreviations and definitions at first use, and all Declarations subheadings must be included with 'Not applicable' where irrelevant.
