More Flexibility for Supplemental Files

Our policies to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of the data we publish have been updated.

Increased flexibility in the submission of supplemental files is now permitted. Authors can include as supplementary material up to 10 figures and tables, along with video and audio files. These materials must be included when the paper is submitted.

Revised Policies on Rigor and Reproducibility
