Guide for Authors
The Current
Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the
expanding volume of information published in their subject. In the Current Opinion journals, we help the reader by providing in a systematic
manner: (1) The views of experts on current advances in the field in a clear and readable form. (2) Evaluations of the most interesting
papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
The aim of the manuscript is to review recent articles,
with particular emphasis on those articles published in the
past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, you are encouraged
to give your subjective opinion of the topics discussed, although you should not concentrate unduly on your own research. Your review
should be approximately 2000 words (not including references or reference notes), with approximately 50 references and, as such, the
review is intended to be a concise view of the field as it is at the moment, rather than a comprehensive overview. Our audience ranges
from student to professor, so articles must be accessible to a wide readership. Please avoid jargon, but do not oversimplify: be accurate
and precise throughout. Occasionally, unpublished data can be referred to, but only when essential and should never be used to substantiate
any significant point.
Authors are encouraged to submit video material or animation sequences to support and enhance your
scientific research. For more information please see the paragraph on video data below.
Contact details
for submission

Conflict of interest
All authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including
any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning the submitted work
that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work. See also
http://www.elsevier.com/conflictsofinterest.
Submission declaration
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously
(except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication
elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was
carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere including electronically in the same form, in English or in any
other language, without the written consent of the copyright-holder.
Authors
Please provide
the names of all authors in full, including first name. No more than five authors should be listed (only those who contributed to the
actual writing of the manuscript, rather than members of the laboratory contributing to primary work). Anyone else who contributed to
the article can be thanked in the acknowledgements section.
Changes to authorship
This policy
concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before the accepted
manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent
to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added
or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the
addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added
or removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author,
who must follow the procedure as described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests
and (2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
After the accepted
manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an
online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon
acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (for more information on this and copyright
see
http://www.elsevier.com/copyright). Acceptance of the agreement will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement'
form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
Subscribers may reproduce tables of contents or prepare lists of articles
including abstracts for internal circulation within their institutions. Permission of the Publisher is required for resale or distribution
outside the institution and for all other derivative works, including compilations and translations (please consult
http://www.elsevier.com/permissions).
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit
the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: please consult
http://www.elsevier.com/permissions.
Retained author rights
As an author you (or your employer or institution) retain certain rights; for details
you are referred to:
http://www.elsevier.com/authorsrights.
Role of the funding source
You
are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly
describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing
of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this
should be stated. Please see
http://www.elsevier.com/funding.
Funding body agreements and
policies
Elsevier has established agreements and developed policies to allow authors whose articles appear in journals
published by Elsevier, to comply with potential manuscript archiving requirements as specified as conditions of their grant awards. To
learn more about existing agreements and policies please visit
http://www.elsevier.com/fundingbodies.
Language and language services
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted,
but not a mixture of these). Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submission
please visit
http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageservices
or our customer support site at
http://support.elsevier.com
for more information.
Submission
Submission to this journal proceeds totally online and
you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of your files. The system automatically converts source files to a single
PDF file of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted
to PDF files at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence,
including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail removing the need for a paper trail.
Use of wordprocessing software
It is important that the file be
saved in the native format of the wordprocessor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple
as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the wordprocessor's
options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables,
if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs,
not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also
the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier:
http://www.elsevier.com/guidepublication). Note that source files of figures, tables
and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures in the text. See also the section on Electronic artwork.
To
avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your wordprocessor.
Article structure
Subdivision - unnumbered sections
Divide your article into
clearly defined sections. Each subsection is given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line. Subsections
should be used as much as possible when cross-referencing text: refer to the subsection by heading as opposed to simply 'the text'.
Introduction
The introduction should be accessible to a wide variety of scientists by avoiding the use of
jargon and concepts not familiar to non-specialists. It should outline the time period covered and the scope of the review, including
the importance of and rationale behind your article. The introduction should include only a few background references.
Main text of review
Use concise, logical subheadings to provide clear links between the different sections
and guide the reader through your review. Please write all abbreviations in full on first use, and use the abbreviation thereafter.
Conclusions
The conclusions section should summarise the topics discussed and describe future directions,
including the author's opinions, as appropriate.
Essential title page information
•
Title.
Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae
where possible.
•
Author names and affiliations.
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name),
please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all
affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide
the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
•
Corresponding author.
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also
post-publication.
Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address
and the complete postal address. Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
•
Present/permanent
address.
If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address'
(or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work
must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
All
reviews should be prefaced by an abstract of 100¿120 words. The abstract is important: it should contain sufficient information for the
reader to be able to appreciate the relevance of the full article when read alone. It should include background information and specific
examples
of recent advances, rather than promises that a particular subject 'will be discussed' - the scope of the review should
instead appear at the end of the introduction. References should
not be included. Abbreviations should be avoided as far as possible.
Graphical abstract
A Graphical abstract is mandatory for this journal. It should summarize the contents of
the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership online. Authors must provide images that
clearly represent the work described in the article. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as a separate file in the online submission
system. Image size: please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image
should be readable at a size of 5 × 13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi. Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or
MS Office files. See
http://www.elsevier.com/graphicalabstracts for examples.
Authors can make use of Elsevier's Illustration
and Enhancement service to ensure the best presentation of their images also in accordance with all technical requirements:
Illustration Service.
Highlights
Highlights are
mandatory for this journal. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey the core findings of the article and should
be submitted in a separate file in the online submission system. Please use 'Highlights' in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points
(maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point). See
http://www.elsevier.com/highlights for examples.
Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references
and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided
help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Funding
bodies should also be mentioned (please give full names rather than abbreviations), together with any relevant grant numbers.
Units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If
other units are mentioned, please give their equivalent in SI.
Database linking
Elsevier
aims at connecting online articles with external databases which are useful in their respective research communities. If your article
contains relevant unique identifiers or accession numbers (bioinformatics) linking to information on entities (genes, proteins, diseases,
etc.) or structures deposited in public databases, then please indicate those entities according to the standard explained below.
Authors
should explicitly mention the
database abbreviation (as mentioned below) together with the actual database number, bearing in
mind that an error in a letter or number can result in a dead link in the online version of the article.
Please use the following
format:
Database ID: xxxx
Links can be provided in your online article to the following databases (examples of citations are
given in parentheses):
•
ASTM: ASTM Standards Database (ASTM ID: G63)
•
CCDC: Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC ID: AI631510)
•

Math formulae
Present simple formulae in the line of
normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle,
variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations
that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Footnotes
Footnotes
should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many wordprocessors build
footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and
present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Table
footnotes
Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript lowercase letter.
Artwork
Figures
You are encouraged to include up to four additional elements in your review (i.e. a combination of
Figures, Tables and Boxes). You should include at least one figure to summarise the main concepts discussed, and all figures should help
to explain the concepts discussed in the text. All illustrations should be labelled as figures, and figures should be cited in the main
text of the review in numerical order. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to obtain permission to reproduce copyrighted
material (figures that have been published before) from the original authors and publishers
Electronic
artwork
General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
•
Save text in illustrations as 'graphics' or enclose the font.
• Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier,
Times, Symbol.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention
for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Produce images near to the desired size of
the printed version.
• Submit each figure as a separate file.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our
website:
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the
detailed information are given here.
Formats
Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is
finalised, please 'save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings,
halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'.
TIFF:
Color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000
dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
If your electronic artwork
is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is'.
Please do not:
•
Supply files that are optimised for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low;
• Supply files that are
too low in resolution;
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Color
artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or MS Office files) and with the correct
resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge,
that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) in addition to color reproduction in print.
For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. The caption should describe the figure in full,
without further reference to the main text. A caption should comprise a brief title (
not on the figure itself) and a description
of the illustration. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. All abbreviations used in the figure and not in the main
text should be defined at the end of the figure legend. References which appear in the figure itself should be mentioned in the figure
caption as well.
Tables and boxes
Tables should be used to tabulate data discussed in further
detail in the review. Boxes should be used for additional explanatory material that, although essential, interrupts the flow of the text.
In addition, you can include a glossary box to describe/define terms or abbreviations used in your review. Tables and boxes should always
be referred to in the main text of the article and should have an appropriate title. Please use the template in MS Word to create your
tables. All such text boxes will be included in the main text word count, and must be cited in the text in numerical order.
Citation in text
The reference list should not be exhaustive - simply alert the reader to the most innovative
recent papers and key reviews. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa).
Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. References
should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text, followed by those that are only cited in the figure
legends or tables. Please ensure that each item in the reference list has its own number, avoiding joint references (for example, references
[32a,32b] should be listed and cited as [32,33] and subsequent references numbered accordingly). Papers accepted as 'in press' may be
included.
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets
in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
Example: "..... as
demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ...."
List: Number the references (numbers in square
brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
[1]
de Alba E, Antoro J, Rico MA, Jimenez MA:
De novo design of a monomeric three-stranded anti-parallel β-sheet. Protein
Sci 1999,
8:854-865.
Reference to a book:
[2] Archer MD, Barber J (Eds):
Molecular to Global Photosynthesis.
Imperial College Press; 2004.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
[3] Barber J, Kuhlbrandt W:
Photosynthesis and photoconversion.
In
Molecular to Global Photosynthesis. Edited by Archer M, Barber J. Imperial College Press; 2004:3-89.
• Number of
authors: If more than eleven authors are credited for an article, please list only the first ten, then add
et al. Please DO
NOT shorten the list of authors before the cut-off of ten. Journal names should be abbreviated in accordance with Index Medicus.
•
Online journal references: When citing online journal references, please adhere to the convention described above, inserting the digital
object identifier (DOI) after the year.
• In-text citation: When citing references in the text, please use [square brackets]
rather than (parentheses) or superscript
1,2 to denote the citations. Please also ensure the citations are numbered and NOT
Harvard referencing style (i.e. [Moore 1965; Myrdal 1957]).
• Annotations
The majority of the references (please aim to cite
approximately 50) should come from the period under review (i.e.
the past two years) and, in general, at least 10% of these should
be selected and annotated as being papers of special interest (*) or outstanding interest (**). Annotated references MUST be from the
past two years, and the annotation should provide a brief description of the major findings and the importance of the study.
This
is an essential part of each review and is very popular with our readers. For example:
•30. Wong FS, Karttunen J,
Dumont C, Wen L, Visintin I, Pilip IM, Shastri N, Pamer EG, Janeway CA Jr:
Identification of an MHC class I-restricted autoantigen
in type 1 diabetes by screening an organ-specific cDNA library. Nat Med 1999,
5:1026-1031.
Using class I tetramers,
the authors demonstrate that insulin-specific CD8+ T cells account for a large proportion of infiltrated T cells in the islets of prediabetic
NOD mice. This is the first study to use peptide multimers to decipher the mechanism of autoimmunity.
• Exclude from reference
list
Unpublished data (including papers in preparation, papers submitted for publication and personal communications), conference
abstracts, PhD theses, websites/URLs and computer programs/databases
should not be mentioned in the reference list. If you feel
that the citation is crucial to the review, please mention it in the text only (see below). Please keep in mind that citations should
be restricted to sources freely available to most readers. (If a submitted paper is accepted for publication before we go to press,
then this information can be added in an 'Update' section). These references should be presented in the text as follows (please list
the first author only, including initials and surname):
1. Personal communications: (SW Churchill
et
al., personal communication [or unpublished if referring to the authors' own work])
2. Submitted papers/unpublished data: (IMN
Author
et al., unpublished)
3. Abstracts (give full information but not title): (A Early
et al., abstract 54, 3rd
International Meeting of Cellular Immunology, Washington DC, September 1998)
or (A Early, abstract in
Soc Neurosci Abstr
1998, 4:154).
4. PhD theses: (R Arthur Goode, PhD thesis, University of Hawaii, 1988)
5. Websites: (Biological Biochemical Image
Database; URL:
http://bbid.grc.nia.nih.gov/)
6. Computer program/database: (Actin database, University of Harvard).
(unless the program/database details have been published, in which case cite as a normal reference. For example, Nicholls A, Bharadwaj
R, Honig B: GRASP:
a graphical representation and analysis of surface properties. Biophys J 1993,
64:166-170.)
Note that personal communications must be authorised by those involved. You are responsible for obtaining permission to use personal
communications.
Video data
Elsevier accepts video material and animation sequences to support
and enhance your scientific research. Authors who have video or animation files that they wish to submit with their article are strongly
encouraged to include these within the body of the article. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the
video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. All submitted files should be properly labeled so that
they directly relate to the video file's content. In order to ensure that your video or animation material is directly usable, please
provide the files in one of our recommended file formats with a preferred maximum size of 50 MB. Video and animation files supplied will
be published online in the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect:
http://www.sciencedirect.com.
Please supply 'stills' with your files: you can choose any frame from the video or animation or make a separate image. These will be
used instead of standard icons and will personalize the link to your video data. For more detailed instructions please visit our video
instruction pages at
http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions. Note: since video and animation cannot be embedded in
the print version of the journal, please provide text for both the electronic and the print version for the portions of the article that
refer to this content.
Supplementary data
Elsevier accepts electronic supplementary material
to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting
applications, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online
alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect:
http://www.sciencedirect.com.
In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats. Authors
should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file.
For more detailed instructions please visit our artwork instruction pages at

any further information please visit our customer support site at
http://epsupport.elsevier.com.
Use of the Digital Object Identifier
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) may
be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alpha-numeric character string which is assigned to a
document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for
citing a document, particularly 'Articles in press' because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. The correct
format for citing a DOI is shown as follows (example taken from a document in the journal
Physics Letters B):
doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.09.059
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, the DOIs are guaranteed never to change.
Proofs
One set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author (if we do
not have an e-mail address then paper proofs will be sent by post) or, a link will be provided in the e-mail so that authors can download
the files themselves. Elsevier now provides authors with PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need to download Adobe
Reader version 7 (or higher) available free from
http://get.adobe.com/reader. Instructions on how to annotate PDF files
will accompany the proofs (also given online). The exact system requirements are given at the Adobe site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html.
If you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the Query Form) and return
them to Elsevier in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark
the corrections and any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and return by fax, or scan the
pages and e-mail, or by post. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text,
tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission
from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately – please let us have all your
corrections within 48 hours. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to us in one communication: please check carefully
before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. Note that
Elsevier may proceed with the publication of your article if no response is received.
Offprints
The
corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. For an extra charge, paper offprints can
be ordered via the offprint order form which is sent once the article is accepted for publication. The PDF file is a watermarked version
of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions
of use.
For inquiries relating to the submission of articles (including
electronic submission) please visit this journal's homepage. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially
those relating to proofs, will be provided by the publisher. You can track accepted articles at
http://www.elsevier.com/trackarticle.
You can also check our Author FAQs (
http://www.elsevier.com/authorFAQ) and/or contact Customer Support via
