Proposal Framing — the Gate (amann-proposal-framing)

When to trigger

• The literature passed amann-topic-selection and you are ready to approach Annals
• You need to know exactly what the proposal must contain and how long it can be
• You are about to write a full review — stop: at Annals the proposal is mandatory and comes first
• An April 1 / October 1 deadline is approaching and the proposal is the deliverable

How Annals intake actually works (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)

Annals uses a two-step, proposal-first process. You do not submit a full review cold; you submit a short proposal, and only an accepted proposal is invited to develop into a full article.
