editor, indicating topics they would like to comment on. They are welcome to telephone (203/785-7169 or 203/932-5711) to express their willingness to contribute, to indicate a specific article they think worthy of comment or to identify potential authors of future HE-PATOLOGY Elsewhere commentaries.
The comments should range from one to one and onehalf printed pages (three to five double-spaced, typed pages) and should conform to HEPATOLOGY style (see "Instructions to Authors"). These mini-editorials are intended to bring interesting articles to the attention of the readership and to put these papers into perspective. They may applaud or criticize, amplify, delimit or speculate about the significance of the paper.
The authors of the original paper will not be requested to prepare a response to be published along with the review. The authors, however, have the opportunity to respond in the Correspondence section of HEPATOLOGY Elsewhere, and these comments, along with a short response by the editorialist, will be published as promptly as possible.
Abstracts are reproduced with the permission of the authors and publishers exactly as they appear in the original articles. When a abstract is not published as part of the article under comment or when permission to reproduce the abstract is not forthcoming, an "Editor's Abstract" is prepared instead.
