Article

Cover Letter A cover letter is required for Article submissions. The cover letter must explain the paper’s significance and fit to the journal, include statements that the manuscript is not under consideration elsewhere and that all authors approved the submission, and for expanded conference papers disclose that the submission is a conference paper and describe what was changed from the original.
Abstract An abstract is required. The abstract should be about 200 words maximum. The abstract must be a single paragraph written in a structured style without headings. The abstract must present Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusion content without headings.
Manuscript The manuscript must include front matter with Title, Author list, Affiliations, Abstract, and Keywords, research sections with Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and optional Conclusions, and back matter with Supplementary Materials, Author Contributions, Funding, Data Availability Statement, Acknowledgments, Conflicts of Interest, and References. Three to ten keywords must follow the abstract, and the manuscript must include an author contributions statement plus disclosure in Materials and Methods of any generative AI use other than superficial text editing where applicable.
References References may be submitted in any citation style if formatting is consistent throughout. References must be numbered in order of appearance, cited in square brackets before punctuation, listed individually at the end, and include full bibliographic details including the full title.
Figures & Tables Figures, schemes, and tables must be inserted in the main text close to their first citation. Figures, schemes, and tables must be numbered in order of appearance and provided with a short explanatory title and caption.
