Guidelines for manuscript preparation, submission, and manuscript format: Topic highlight

Highly influential scientists are invited to write a series of topic highlight article. We identify these experts from the pool of authors with highly-cited publications; specifically, these are authors whose numbers of citations represent the top 1% over the past 10 years. Such a high number of citations can directly reflect the quality of the authored paper and the academic influence of the author. Commenting on and discussing a series of hot topic articles (7-10 articles) will help improve the diagnostic and therapeutic skills of readers.
