Things to bear in mind:
- Do NOT write a commentary instead of a proposal.
- Be succinct: somewhere between 200 and 500 words.
- Clearly state which aspects of the target article you intend to discuss, and indicate the line that you intend to take. We will only publish commentaries that respond to the lead article.
- We are happy to receive proposals for co-authored commentaries. However, we will NOT publish more than one commentary that has your name on it in any given issue.
- There will be anonymous review of proposals. Make sure that you do not include identifying material in your proposal.
- There are no barriers to repeat commentary: those who have recently published commentaries are welcome to submit proposals for commentaries in upcoming issues.
- When submitting a proposal to the journal, authors should use the ‘Submit an article’ link on this Call for Papers page. Please select ‘Open Peer Commentary’ as the article type.
- On the Manuscript Details page of the Submission Portal, select ‘Proposal’ as the Subject Section. Then select ‘Yes’ that the proposal is a candidate for a special issue, and select the surname of the Curator from the special issue drop-down. The Curator of this issue is David Bronstein.
