3.5.2  Completing the ‘What’s new’ table

Each row in a ‘What’s new’ or History table comprises:

 

Table 3.5.a and Table 3.5.b list the available ‘What’s new’ events for protocols and reviews, respectively. Authors should refer to the referenced section to select the appropriate event for inclusion in the ‘What’s new’ table. Withdrawal of a review should be associated with an 'Amended' event.

 

While it is technically possible to enter several events into the ‘What’s new’ table, authors should be aware that the table should include information only about the changes since the last version. Importantly the table must not have more than one new citation entry or more than one update entry (previous events should be moved to the History table).
