Instructions for authors

Original research papers are completed research studies structured into the following parts: abstract, introduction, theoretical (optional), experimental, results and discussion, conclusions, acknowledgment (optional) and references. There is no size limits are specified but editors possess the right to inquire the reduction of manuscripts of excessive length. It is possible to include additional figures, tables, computer programs, videos, photographs as electronic supplementary information (ESI).

Short communications should comprise an original and concise research of limited extent: maximum 10 full manuscript pages or 2,500 words in total. However, materials, methods, and procedures must be complete. The manuscript should comprise an abstract, a single section containing all other parts, and a list of references. They can be processed and published quicker than full-length original research papers and reviews if authors appropriately explain the significance of urgent publication upon submission of their manuscripts.

Reviews should be an authoritative, critical, and comprehensive assessment of research conducted in preceding years in the fields of vital interest. Reviews could be submitted directly with no preceding consent from Editor-in-Chief. The review should not exceed 30 full manuscript pages or 12,000 words. Prospective authors of long review manuscripts should formerly send an outline of the planned review article to the Editor-in-Chief with a brief cover letter explaining why the topic might be of broad interest or importance.

 

Article template

Manuscript Title Yang F. Author1, Maria Author2, John Author*1,2 1 Institution 1, Address 2 Institution 2, Address, *Corresponding author, e-mail: email@address.com Received [Dates will be filled in by Editorial office] Abstract Abstract should summarize the principal results obtained. Keywords: 4–6 terms describing the subject of the manuscript. A Headings are the primary heading e.g. Introduction, Experimental, Results, and discussion. B Headings are subordinate to A headings e.g. Synthetic procedures, Materials, and methods. C headings are subordinate to B headings e.g. Synthesis of compound Z. Main text follows directly from here. Table 1. Appropriate table caption. A 0 1 * 2 3 ** A1 0 1 2 3 A2 0 1 2 3 * Notes; ** Notes. Figure 1. Appropriate figure caption. Note: We apply an anti-plagiarism means which have the ability to detect text similarities with existing literature. A citation of literature source is not enough in such case. A manuscript with such defects may be either sent back to the author for corrections or rejected immediately without peer-review if the overlaps are too much. 2 Main text sections: Original Paper: It has standard parts including Introduction, Theoretical (optional), Experimental, Results and discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgement (optional), Supporting information (optional), and References. Review: Only Conclusions, Acknowledgement (optional), Supporting information (optional), and References. Short Communication: The main text must be a continuous text followed by References. Conflicts of interest Based on our policy, conflicts of interest statement is required in manuscript here. Please state “There are no conflicts to declare”. Acknowledgment (Optional) The acknowledgment is located at the end of the manuscript after conclusions and before references.

References There are no specific requirements on references style at submission. References can be in any format as long as the style is consistent. Where valid, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, volume number/book chapter and the pages numbers must be included. DOI is highly recommended at the end of each citation.
