The most current developments in biotechnology, as reported in newly published papers or at scientific symposia, are discussed in News & Views articles. They can be related to posts in the Journal of Neoteric Lifescience, or they might concentrate on papers with particularly noteworthy other publications. Viewpoints differ from editorials, as these article types allow authors to express their own personal ideas and thoughts on a particular issue or theme, which may be argumentative.
Although aspiring authors are encouraged to submit suggestions, unsolicited contributions are often not taken into consideration.
Such article types are not peer-reviewed. The word count should not exceed 2000 words and 30 references. The word count can be flexible, however, exceeding the word count is not recommended to maintain the paper's readability.
