Journal style is to expand all "author-created" abbreviations; ie, any short form or initialism which does not appear frequently when searched in PubMed or Google. These abbreviations may appear freely throughout the main body of an article, but for purposes of readability should not be featured in abstracts.
However, please note that we strongly discourage using too many "author-created" abbreviations in papers. We are an electronic journal and therefore do not have similar constraints to print journals with regard to word count and/or layout.
