I **hate** reviewing manuscripts and having to flip to the end for figures. It breaks the flow of reading, and is really annoying. Can all journals adopt the 'submit your way' format for the first submission?

This is going to improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. 209M people got Malaria and 200K died from it in 2019.
This should be the cover story of the day.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the “crisis of insufficient reviewers.” I honestly think we have too many journals and the pressure to publish (for grants, graduation, promotion) is churning out a lot of bad work.
