Call for Papers
1. The manuscript requires concise text, precise arguments, reliable data, and clear charts. The title should be brief and appropriate.Uncommon abbreviations should be avoided as much as possible. There is no limit to the total number of words in each manuscript (including references and abstracts). Submissions should include titles, author’s information, contact information, abstracts (limited to 300 words), keywords (3-5 words), introduction, results, discussion, acknowledgments, author contributions, declaration of interests, references, figures, and legends.
2. The manuscript requires common words and the unit of measurement conforms to the national standard. The formulas and chemical symbols in the manuscript must be clearly distinguished between uppercase and lowercase, positive and italic.The letters, numbers, and characters in the upper and lower corners should be accurate and neat.
3. In the footnote of the first page, please indicate the funding source of the manuscript. Please also indicate the names, titles, and research direction of the first author and corresponding author.Corresponding author and lead contact: You must designate at least one corresponding author and only one lead contact. Corresponding author: We prefer that each paper have a single corresponding author because we think that the ownership and responsibility that are inherent in corresponding authorship will promote best practices in the design and performance of experiments, analysis of results, organization and retention of original data, and preparation of figures and text.
4. Only the necessary figures and tables are included. All forms should use three-line charts. The lines should be uniform, the photos should be in highdefinition, and the charts should have also legend. Legends should be included in the submitted manuscript as a separate section. Each figure legend should have a brief title that describes the entire figure without citing specific panels, followed by a description of each panel. In writing the figure title, we encourage you to re-use the subheadings of the results section to make the relationship clear. For any figures presenting pooled data, the measures should be defined in the figure legends (for example, "Data are represented as mean ± SEM."). Each legend should refer to any supporting items in the supplemental information (e.g., "See also Figure S1.").
5. References. In-text citations should be written in Harvard style and not numbered, e.g., "Smith et al., 2015; Smith and Jones, 2015."
Please use the style shown below for references. Note that "et al." should only be used after ten authors. The CSL and EndNote styles can be found by searching the journal name.
