Manuscript Preparation

Front Matter

• Title: The title should show the central content and important arguments of the paper. The first word of the text title is capitalized, and the rest are all lowercase, except proper nouns.
• Author List and Affiliations: Authors' full first and last names must be provided. The initials of any middle names can be added. The PubMed/MEDLINE standard format is used for affiliations: complete address information including city, zip code, state/province, and country. Only one author should be designated as corresponding author, and his or her email address and other details should be included at the end of the affiliation section.
• Abstract: The purpose of the paper, the main research process and the methods adopted, the main results and important conclusions should be expressed clearly in concise and clear language. If possible, mention the application scope and application of the results and conclusions of the paper as far as possible. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article, it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
• Keywords: Three to ten pertinent keywords need to be added after the abstract. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the article, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline. The first letter of each word of the keyword needs to be capitalized.

Research Article Sections

• Introduction: Introduction, also known as preface or introduction, is an organic part of the whole paper. Its function is to give readers a preliminary introduction to the content of the article. The introduction briefly introduces "the background of the paper, the previous research history and current situation in related fields, as well as the author's intention and analysis basis, including the pursuit goal, research scope, theory and technical scheme selection of the paper".
• Materials and Methods: The materials and methods part of the paper is quite lack of the experimental report we usually write. This part accounts for a large proportion in the paper, especially the analytical and experimental research papers, which can be introduced clearly only after accounting for about 30% of the full text. The material mainly introduces the experimental objects and data, and the method refers to the experimental design or data collection method. An important reason why the materials and methods of the paper need to be introduced in detail is to ensure the repeatability of the experiment, which is convenient for peers and readers to detect and quote your experimental results, which is also an important argument to ensure the reliability of your data. The material part of the paper should introduce the selection method of the experimental object and the source and characteristics of the experimental object, which can not only estimate the sampling error, but also let the readers understand the content of the article and the scope of use of the conclusion. In addition, we should clearly introduce the sample number and grouping method of the research object, and do not use a sentence of random grouping to describe it. In the method, the experimental design scheme should be introduced clearly, such as "randomized controlled trial", "non randomized controlled trial", "cross controlled trial", "pre post controlled trial", "double-blind" and other methods, and then the setting or laboratory facilities should be introduced clearly. According to the type of article, the intervention measures, blind methods, measurement indicators and criteria for judging the results should also be introduced. The materials and methods in the paper must be realistic and explained one by one, so as to prove the accuracy of the data in your article and the reliability of the experiment.
• Results: The purpose of the result part of the research paper is to present the main results of your research without interpreting its meaning. It is mainly narrative, less discussion and less references. It is important to carefully design and arrange the charts to ensure that they are in order to tell a complete story. The task of writing "results" is to assemble discrete experimental data into logical and readable articles. For clarity, headings and subheadings should be designed to organize the content. At the same time, consider the questions raised in the introduction, the "discussion" below and the expected conclusions, and provide sufficient raw data as strong support.
• Discussion: The purpose of the discussion is to explain the phenomenon, explain the point of view, explain the meaning of your survey / research results, and make suggestions for follow-up research. Its main function is to answer the questions raised in the introduction, explain how the research results support your answers, and how these answers are consistent with the existing relevant knowledge of the subject. Discussion is usually regarded as the "heart" of a paper, which can best reflect the amount of literature mastered by the author and the degree of understanding and understanding of an academic problem. The discussion part is difficult to write. The author should attach great importance to it, invest due time and energy, and carefully write the discussion. The quality of discussion writing often determines the depth of an article and is also a sign of its academic level.
• Conclusions: The content of the conclusion should focus on reflecting the theoretical value, practical value and scope of application of the research results, and can put forward suggestions or prospects. It can also point out the key problems to be further solved and the ideas for future research. Therefore, the conclusion should generally state: what problems are explained by the research results and the revealed principles and laws (theoretical value); Significance and function in practical application (practical value); Compare with the previous research results What are the similarities and differences, and what amendments, supplements and developments have been made; The remaining problems, suggestions and prospects of this study. Of course, not all conclusion writing should have the above content. The author may decide according to the specific situation of the research results. But this should be essential.
• Patents: This section is not mandatory, but can be added if the work reported in this manuscript produces one or more patents.

Back Matter

• Supplementary Materials: This section describes any supplementary materials (such as figures, tables, videos, spreadsheets, etc.) published online with the manuscript. Please indicate the name and title of each element according to Figure S1: title, Table S1: title, etc.
• Contributions: For research articles by multiple authors, a short paragraph describing their personal contributions must be provided. If the corresponding author does not provide contribution details, we believe that the contribution of all authors is equal.
• Acknowledgments: It is generally thanks to colleagues who have contributed to the experiment and writing part of the paper but are not the author. For example, you can add: “The authors would like to thank XXX (NAME) for excellent technical support and Professor XXX (NAME) for critically reviewing the manuscript” in this section. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged. If the corresponding author does not fill in the acknowledgements section, we believe that there are no such colleagues.
• Funding: Funding sources should not be included in the acknowledgments, or anywhere in the manuscript file. You will provide this information during the manuscript submission process. All sources of funding for the study should be disclosed. Specify the grants you received to support your research work and whether you received funds to pay for publishing.
• Conflicts of Interest: According to our author guidelines, a competing interest exists when professional judgment concerning the validity of research is influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain. So, we require that the authors reveal all possible conflicts of interest in their submitted manuscripts. If there is no conflict of interests, authors should state that “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” Otherwise, they should state the conflict of interests under this section. In addition, if the funders do not play any role in the research, authors should state that “The funders had no role in the design of the study; in the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript, or in the decision to publish the results.” Otherwise, they should state any role of the funders under this section. 
• Appendix：An appendix is an optional section that can contain details and data to supplement the text. For example, the interpretation of experimental details may interfere with the fluency of the text, but it is still essential to understand and reproduce the research shown; If it is simple, you can add the experimental reproduction diagram showing representative data in the text here, or as supplementary data. The mathematical proof of unimportant results in the paper can be added as an appendix. All appendix sections must be quoted in the text. In the appendix, Figures, Tables, etc. shall begin with "A", such as Figure A1, Figure A2, etc.
• References: Please use the author-publication year system. References must be in APA style. Unpublished literature should not be included in references. Please add the digital object identifier (DOI) for all references where available.
