Graphical/Visual Abstract and Caption
Include an attractive full color image to go under the text abstract and in the online Table of Contents.
You will also need to upload this as a separate file during submission. It may be a figure or panel from the article or may be specifically designed as a visual summary. While original images are preferred, if you need to look for a thematically appropriate stock image, you can go to
pixabay.com (not affiliated with Wiley) to find a free stock image with a CC0 license. Another option you have is to utilize professional illustrators with Wiley’s
Graphical Abstract Design service.
Size: The minimum resolution is 300 dpi. Please keep the image as simple as possible because it will be displayed in multiple sizes. Multiple panels and text other than labels are strongly discouraged.
Caption: This is a narrative sentence to convey the article's essence and wider implications to a non-specialist audience. The maximum length is 50 words, but consider using 280 characters or less to facilitate social media sharing, which can increase the discoverability of your article.
1. Introduction
Introduce your topic in ~2 paragraphs, ~750 words.
While Wiley does consider articles on preprint servers (ArXiv, bioRxiv, psyArXiv, SocArXiv, engrXiv, etc.) for submission to primary research journals, preprint articles should not be cited in WIREs manuscripts as review articles should discuss and draw conclusions only from peer-reviewed research. Remember that original research/unpublished work should also not be included as it has not yet been peer-reviewed and could put the work in jeopardy of getting published in the primary press.
Citations are automatically generated by Authorea. Select cite to find and cite bibliographic resources. The citations will automatically be generated for you in APA format, the style used by most WIREs titles. If you are writing for WIREs Computational Molecular Science (WCMS), you will need to use the Vancouver reference and citation style, so before exporting click Export-> Options and select a Vancouver export style.
