| 15 | Title page (with author bios/ORCID) → Abstract → Keywords → Introduction → (Methods) → main body with headings → Conclusion → Disclosure statement → Funding → Data availability → References → Tables → Figure captions → Figures. Review journals: organize by thematic headings rather than IMRaD. |

| 18 | - **Keywords:** 5–7. |
| 19 | - **Word length:** review articles are long-form; confirm any cap at the journal (CRFSN reviews are typically comprehensive, often 8,000–12,000 words). |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Reference style |
| 22 | **Author–date (APA-style, T&F variant).** In-text `(Author & Author, 2023)`; alphabetical reference list. |
