Brief Communications are limited to 4,500 words, including the abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, references and figure legends. Additionally, Brief Communications may include no more than 4 figures and/or tables, which together may occupy no more than one full page.
Review Articles Review articles dealing with a topic of interest to a wide readership are welcome. Comprehensible writing, clear structure of the paper, and convincing illustrations are important. The manuscript should have an Abstract, but there are no other formal requirements.

However, Case Reports without length restrictions are occasionally published. They are restricted to exceptionally interesting, excellently illustrated single cases that provide new scientific insight

Letters to the Editor
Letters may include commentaries about previous papers on other matters of interst, reports on single cases, or negative findings. Letters do not have an Abstract, nor do they have sections such as Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results and Discussion.
