In cases where work is presented by the author(s) on behalf of a consortium/group, it should be included in the author list separated with the wording 'for' or 'on behalf of.' The consortium/group will not retain authorship and will only appear in the author list.

Example: John Smith and Barbara Smith on behalf of The Collaborative Working Group.

Abstract

The abstract should be no longer than a single paragraph. The word limit for abstract is 300 or fewer words. Abstract must summarize specifically the scientific content in the manuscript. Minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references, figures or tables.

Keywords

All article types require a minimum of three and a maximum of eight keywords.

 
Abbreviations

Abbreviations must be separated by semicolon and all the abbreviations used in the manuscript must be mentioned.

Body Text

Respective manuscript types must be written with the above mentioned structure format. Any of the mentioned structure missing will be resent to the author for further modifications.

Sections

The manuscript is organized by headings and subheadings. The section headings should be those appropriate for your field and the research itself. You may insert up to 5 heading levels into your manuscript (i.e.,: 3.2.2.1.2 Heading Title). For Original Research articles, it is recommended to organize your manuscript in the following sections or their equivalents for your field.

Introduction
Succinct, with no subheadings.

Materials and methods
This section may be divided by subheadings and should contain sufficient detail so that when read in conjunction with cited references, all procedures can be repeated. For experiments reporting results on animal or human subject research, an ethics approval statement should be included in this section (for further information, see the 'Bioethics' section of our policies and publication ethics).

Results
This section may be divided by subheadings. Footnotes should not be used and must be transferred to the main text.

Discussion
This section may be divided by subheadings. Discussions should cover the key findings of the study: discuss any prior research related to the subject to place the novelty of the discovery in the appropriate context, discuss the potential shortcomings and limitations on their interpretations, discuss their integration into the current understanding of the problem and how this advances the current views, speculate on the future direction of the research, and freely postulate theories that could be tested in the future.

Acknowledgements

This is a short text to acknowledge the contributions of specific colleagues, institutions, or agencies that aided the efforts of the authors. Should the content of the manuscript have previously appeared online, such as in a thesis or preprint, this should be mentioned here, in addition to listing the source within the reference list.

Figure and table guidelines

CC-BY license

All figures, tables, and images will be published under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, and permission must be obtained for use of copyrighted material from other sources (including re-published/adapted/modified/partial figures and images from the internet). It is the responsibility of the authors to acquire the licenses, follow any citation instructions requested by third-party rights holders, and cover any supplementary charges. For additional information, please contact the editorial office of each journal.

Figure requirements and style guidelines

Our publishing house requires figures to be submitted individually, in the same order as they are referred to in the manuscript; the figures will then be automatically embedded at the end of the submitted manuscript. Kindly ensure that each figure is mentioned in the text and in numerical order.

For figures with more than one panel, panels should be clearly indicated using labels (A), (B), (C), (D), etc. However, do not embed the part labels over any part of the image, these labels will be replaced during typesetting according to the journal style. For graphs, there must be a self-explanatory label (including units) along each axis.

For LaTeX files, figures should be included in the provided PDF. In case of acceptance, our production office might require high-resolution files of the figures included in the manuscript in EPS, JPEG or TIF/TIFF format.

To upload more than one figure at a time, save the figures (labeled in order of appearance in the manuscript) in a zip file and upload them as 'Supplementary Material Presentation.'

Captions

Captions should be preceded by the appropriate label, for example 'Figure 1.' Figure captions should be placed at the end of the manuscript. Figure panels are referred to by bold capital letters in brackets: (A), (B), (C), (D), etc.

Image size and resolution requirements

• Figures should be prepared with the PDF layout in mind. Individual figures should not be longer than one page and with a width that corresponds to 1 column (85 mm) or 2 columns (180 mm).
• All images must have a resolution of 300 dpi at final size. Check the resolution of your figure by enlarging it to 150%. If the image appears blurry, jagged, or has a stair-stepped effect, the resolution is too low.
• The text should be legible and of high quality. The smallest visible text should be no less than eight points in height when viewed at actual size.
• Solid lines should not be broken up. Any lines in the graphic should be no smaller than two points wide.
• Please note that saving a figure directly as an image file (JPEG, TIF) can greatly affect the resolution of your image. To avoid this, one option is to export the file as PDF, then convert into TIFF or EPS using a graphics software.

Format and color image mode

The following formats are accepted: TIF/TIFF (.tif/.tiff), JPEG (.jpg), and EPS (.eps) (upon acceptance). Images must be submitted in the color mode RGB.

Table requirements and style guidelines

• Tables should be inserted at the end of the manuscript in an editable format. If you use a word processor, build your table in Word. If you use a LaTeX processor, build your table in LaTeX. An empty line should be left before and after the table.
• Table captions must be placed immediately before the table. Captions should be preceded by the appropriate label, for example 'Table 1.' Please use only a single paragraph for the caption.
• Ensure that each table is mentioned in the text and in numerical order.
• Large tables covering several pages cannot be included in the final PDF for formatting reasons. These tables will be published as supplementary material.
• Tables which are not according to the above guidelines will cause substantial delay during the production process.

Supplementary material

Data that are not of primary importance to the text, or which cannot be included in the article because they are too large or the current format does not permit it (such as videos, raw data traces, and PowerPoint presentations), can be uploaded as supplementary material during the submission procedure.

Supplementary material is not typeset, so please ensure that all information is clearly presented without tracked changes/highlighted text/line numbers, and the appropriate caption is included in the file. To avoid discrepancies between the published article and the supplementary material, please do not add the title, author list, affiliations or correspondence in the supplementary files.

The supplementary material can be uploaded as:

• data sheet (Word, Excel, CSV, CDX, FASTA, PDF or Zip files)
• presentation (PowerPoint, PDF or Zip files)
• image (CDX, EPS, JPEG, PDF, PNG or TIF/TIFF),
• table (Word, Excel, CSV or PDF)
• audio (MP3, WAV or WMA)
• video (AVI, DIVX, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG or WMV).
• Technical requirements for supplementary images:
• 300 DPIs
• RGB color mode.

References

• Journals under our publishing house use Vancouver (numbered) reference style. In-text citations should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text – identified by Arabic numerals in the parenthesis (use square brackets for physics and mathematics articles).
• All citations in the text, figures, or tables must be in the reference list and vice-versa
• The names of the first six authors followed by et al. and the DOI (when available) should be provided
• Given names of authors should be abbreviated to initials
• The reference list should only include articles that are published or accepted
• Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, or personal communications should be cited within the text only, for article types that allow such inclusions
• For accepted but unpublished works use 'in press' instead of page numbers
• Data sets that have been deposited to an online repository should be included in the reference list. Include the version and unique identifier when available
• Personal communications should be documented by a letter of permission
• Website URLs should be included as footnotes
• Any inclusion of verbatim text must be contained in quotation marks and clearly reference the original source
• Preprints can be cited as long as a DOI or archive URL is available, and the citation clearly mentions that the contribution is a preprint. If a peer-reviewed journal publication for the same preprint exists, the official journal publication is the preferred source. See the preprints section for each reference style below for more information.
