Review Article (narrative, usually invited reviews)

 

Narrative review articles are normally by invitation and undergo peer review by experts in the field as for other article types. Authors intending to submit unsolicited reviews should send an outline of the proposed article to the eje@bioscientifica.com editorial office.

Review submissions should be no longer than 5000 words. Original summary diagrams and illustrations of proposed models (in colour where appropriate) are encouraged. Line drawings may be redrawn.
