Commentaries
Commentaries are short articles that describe an author’s personal experience with a specific topic. The subject might be controversial, and the author provides other existing viewpoints before presenting his/her perspective. A commentary should draw attention to current advances and speculate on future directions of a certain topic and should include original data as well as state a personal opinion. If a commentary is critical of an article published in the journal, it is important to maintain a respectful tone that is critical of ideas or conclusions but not of authors. The commentaries are subjected to editorial check and peer review process. Only one author will be given credit for commentary.
