The Instructions to Authors in Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews says it this way:". . . an annotated topical
outline . . . will be evaluated by the editors, and if the material is satisfactory, the authors will be invited to write the
review."
Not only is the outline essential for the preparer of the review, it is also very useful to potential readers of the review.
For that reason, many review journals print the outline at the beginning of the article, where it serves as a convenient
table of contents for prospective readers. A well-constructed outline is shown in Fig. 12.
