Journal Title is published by EnPress
Publisher, LLC. This work is licensed The introduction of the paper should start with an
under the Creative Commons explanation of why a particular research is being
Attribution (CC BY) license.
https://creativecommons.org/ conducted and end with a statement/conclusion of the
licenses/by/4.0/ selected research approach. Authors must ensure that a
non-technical reader is able to understand the
introduction, including the technical goals and
objectives, any technical issues faced and its application
in the real world. It would be beneficial for the readers
if the authors provided a clear, one sentence purpose
statement of the research. It would be advisable to keep
the length of the introduction about 1/2 page (1–2
paragraphs). References should be numbered in order of
appearance and indicated by a numeral or numerals in square brackets—e.g., journal [1]
or manuscript [2,3], or template [4–6]. See the end of the document for further details on
references.

2. Materials and methods


In this section, authors are required to provide a detailed account of the
procedure that was followed while conducting the research described in the report.
This will help the readers to obtain a clear understanding of the research and also
allow them to replicate the study in the future. Authors should ensure that every
method used is described and include citations for the procedures that have been
described previously. Avoid any kind of discussion in this section regarding the
methods or results of any kind.

Research manuscripts reporting large datasets that are deposited in a publicly


available database should specify where the data have been deposited and provide
the relevant accession numbers. If the accession numbers have not yet been obtained
at the time of submission, please state that they will be provided during review. They
must be provided prior to publication.
Interventionary studies involving animals or humans, and other studies that
require ethical approval, must list the authority that provided approval and the
corresponding ethical approval code.

3. Results and discussion


This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and
precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation, as well as the
experimental conclusions that can be drawn.

3.1. Subsection
3.1.1. Subsubsection
Bulleted lists look like this:
• First bullet;
• Second bullet;
• Third bullet.
Numbered lists can be added as follows:
a) First item;
b) Second item;
c) Third item.
The text continues here.

3.2. Figures and tables


All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc.
Place figures as close as possible to the text they refer to and aligned center. Photos,
graphs, charts or diagram should be labeled Figure (do not abbreviate), and assigned
a number consecutively (Figure 1). The title should appear underneath the figure,
aligned center, no additional blank line.
In cases where the title needs to be extended over to the second line, the title
should be aligned left.

Tables may have a footer.

In cases where the tables need to be extended over to the second page, the
continuation of the table should be preceded by a caption, e.g., “Table 1.
(Continued)”. Footnotes in tables should be written in superscript lowercase letters
and placed below the table.
The text continues here (Figure 2 and Table 2).

Figure 2. This is a figure. Schemes follow another format. If there are multiple panels, they should be listed as: (a)
Description of what is contained in the first panel; (b) Description of what is contained in the second panel. Figures
should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited.

Table 2. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited.

3.3. Formatting of mathematical components


Including symbols and equations in the text, the variable name and style must
be consistent with those in the equations.
This is example 1 of an equation:
a=1 (1)
the text following an equation need not be a new paragraph. Please punctuate
equations as regular text.
This is example 2 of an equation:
a=b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o+p+q+r+s+t+u+v+w+x+y+z (2)
the text following an equation need not be a new paragraph. Please punctuate
equations as regular text.
Theorem-type environments (including propositions, lemmas, corollaries etc.)
can be formatted as follows:
Theorem 1. Example text of a theorem. Theorems, propositions, lemmas, etc. should
be numbered sequentially (i.e., Proposition 2 follows Theorem 1). Examples or
Remarks use the same formatting, but should be numbered separately, so a
document may contain Theorem 1, Remark 1 and Example 1.
The text continues here. Proofs must be formatted as follows:
Proof of Theorem 1. Text of the proof. Note that the phrase “of Theorem 1” is
optional if it is clear which theorem is being referred to. Always finish a proof with
the following symbol. □
The text continues here.

4. Discussion
Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted from the
perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and
their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future
research directions may also be highlighted.

5. Conclusion

This section is not mandatory but can be added to the manuscript if the
discussion is unusually long or complex.

Author contributions: For research articles with several authors, a short paragraph
specifying their individual contributions must be provided. The following statements
should be used “Conceptualization, XX and YY; methodology, XX; software, XX;
validation, XX, YY and ZZ; formal analysis, XX; investigation, XX; resources, XX;
data curation, XX; writing—original draft preparation, XX; writing—review and
editing, XX; visualization, XX; supervision, XX; project administration, XX;
funding acquisition, YY. All authors have read and agreed to the published version
of the manuscript.” Please turn to the CRediT taxonomy for the term explanation.
Authorship must be limited to those who have contributed substantially to the work
reported.
Funding: This section is not mandatory. If your research has received any external
funding, you could claim that “This research was funded by NAME OF FUNDER,
grant number XXX” and “The APC was funded by XXX”. Check carefully that the
details given are accurate and use the standard spelling of funding agency names at
https://search.crossref.org/funding. Any errors may affect your future funding.
Acknowledgments: Here, you can acknowledge any support given which is not
covered by the author contribution or funding sections. This may include
administrative and technical support, or donations in kind (e.g., materials used for
experiments).
Conflict of interest: Declare conflicts of interest or state “The authors declare no
conflict of interest.” Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances
or interest that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or
interpretation of reported research results.

References
References must be numbered in order of appearance in the text (including citations in tables and legends) and
listed individually at the end of the manuscript. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software
package, such as EndNote, ReferenceManager or Zotero to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references. Include
the digital object identifier (DOI) for all references where available.
In the text, reference numbers should be placed in a square brackets [ ] and placed before the punctuation; for
example [1], [1–3] or [1,3]. For embedded citations in the text with pagination, use both parentheses and brackets to
indicate the reference number and page numbers; for example [4] (p. 105), or [5] (pp. 12–18).
Do not start a line with a reference number, advise to add “author names” in front of them. For one author,
replacing “[1] proposes a systematic” with “Liu [1] proposes a systematic”; for two authors, replacing “[5] found
that…” with “Qian and Zhao [5] found that…”; for three and more than three authors, replacing “[7] described…”
with “Li et al. [7] described…”.
