Main Text: A perspective article presents a new and unique viewpoint on existing problems, fundamental concepts, or prevalent notions on a specific topic, proposes and supports a new hypothesis, or discusses the implications of a newly implemented innovation. Perspective pieces may focus on current advances and future directions on a topic and may include original data as well as personal opinions. This is a short peer-reviewed article of around 2000-4000 words. A perspective article usually includes a short abstract of around 150 words and a few tables and figures, if required. The main document has no authors' detail. All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end of the manuscript.
