Articles/Chapters Highlights

Please, find below a link to the highlights specifications from :

Elsevier Highlights Specifications

Here is a resume of the main specifications :

- A textual overview of an article should include 3 to 5 highlights.
- Max. 85 characters including spaces per highlight. (In Word 2007, there is a character count option in the Review tab, under Word Count. Or, left-click the Word count in the bottom left corner for the character count to pop-up.)
- Only the core results of the paper should be covered.

Example 1

Below is an example of poor Highlights and how they can be improved.

Example 1.a - poor Highlights

> In this study we model two hospitals which have regulated prices. > The hospitals we base our study on compete on quality with each other. > We examine changes in the level of information about hospital quality. We find that increasing information will increase the quality if hospital costs are similar. > We find that increasing information will decrease quality if hospital costs are very different. > We conclude that welfare effects depend on ex-ante or ex-post assumptions about quality information.

The item now exceeds the maximum number of 5 bullet points, some points exceed the 85 characters limit, and there is too much information. In order to provide a very quick and brief textual overview, this Highlight item can be improved by shortening the sentences.

The example above was artificially constructed by us. The example below shows the Highlights as they were actually submitted to the External linkJournal of Health Economics, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2010, Pages 524-535. This is a good example as the sentences are short and within the 85 character limit, the Highlights item does not exceed the maximum number of bullet points, and the text is concise, relates to the topic, and is informative.

Example 1.b - good Highlights

>We model two hospitals which have regulated prices and compete on quality. > We examine changes in the level of information about hospital quality. > Increasing information will increase quality if hospital costs are similar. > Increasing information will decrease quality if hospital costs are very different. > Welfare effects depend on ex-ante or ex-post assumptions about quality information.
