Perspective: a new article type for the Hong Kong Medical Journal

The HKMJ constantly evolves, and the Editorial Board take strategic decisions to keep the content contemporary and interesting for our readers. While editors may invite such articles from reviewers or experts in the field, authors should consider writing a Perspective or Commentary in situations where: the topic is of broad concern to a wider audience or to the scholarly community in general; the author wishes to present opinions and ideas or describe an innovation that has not yet been broadly implemented; or the author wishes to provide an in-depth discussion of a topic or literature review that would be too lengthy for a commentary but does not amount to a systematic review. Conflicts of interest The author has declared no conflict of interest. 1.
