Letters to the editor: Publish fast

“…What doesn't differ between Short Communications and Letters to the Editor is that both are indexed on Pubmed and citable.

It is also important to mention that Letters to the Editor are assessed by at least two Editors (one Executive Committee member and one in‐house scientific editor), who inform our Referees about the specific requirements for this article type in order to prevent excessive experimental requests, since mechanistic insights and deep functional analysis are not the major requirements for Letters to the Editor.…”
