Commentaries in Human Biology
Our Commentary articles are either commissioned by the Editors or result from open submissions which discuss topical issues that have appeared in the media and are of interest to AHB readers and to the lay public. Commentaries are usually short, focussed articles of no more than 1000 words, that give a perspective on news items and how the issues raised therein relate to current research within Human Biology.
Commentaries are reviewed by the Editors and the decision on publication will be based on this editorial review. Due the nature of the commentaries, i.e. a rapid response to items in the media, they will be subject to a quick editorial turn-around and will be published online within 72 hours of acceptance. They may also be submitted to the publisher’s publicity department for further dissemination to the media.
