Reviews should be scientifically sound and should describe the most relevant and recent contributions; Mini-Review articles - a shorter form of a Review Article intended for a brief analysis of a focused topic on advances in the field. It discusses recent experimental research, highlights recent developments in fast-moving areas and suggests areas that require additional research; Communication - this format is intended for the presentation of brief observations that do not warrant full-length papers.
