A uniform format for manuscript submission

Cell. 2021 Apr 1;184(7):1654-1656. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.01.030.

Abstract

Many scientists spend unnecessary time reformatting papers to submit them to different journals. We propose a uniform submission format that we hope journals will include in their options for submission. Widespread adoption of this uniform submission format could shorten the submission and publishing process, freeing up time for research.
