The Editors assume that each manuscript is an original contribution and that it has not been, and will not be, submitted elsewhere while it is under consideration for publication in Transplantation. Manuscripts dealing with material that has appeared or is in press in brief or preliminary form in Transplantation Proceedings will not be considered if the publication in the Proceedings exceeds one printed page. Forms for this purpose will be supplied by the Editorial Offices. Types of Papers Published Overviews are concise reviews of topics of special timeliness and interest to investigators and clinicians in the field of transplantation. Overviews usually are solicited by the Editors, but proposals also will be considered.
