Significance Statements
As described in the March 2023 Editor’s Comments, authors need to submit a “significance statement” along with their paper. A significance statement, sometimes called a public significance statement, is a concise articulation of why a paper is important for the world beyond academia. You can view them as encapsulations of a paper’s practical motivation and practical implications.
Significance statements are required to be short (≤90 words) and written in a simple and accessible manner. A template is here for authors to download. Authors will need to upload this document during Step 2: Upload Files > add this file as “Miscellaneous.” For guidance, please see this link.
