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, X.X. and Y.Y.; methodology, X.X.; software, X.X.; validation, X.X., Y.Y. and Z.Z.; formal analysis, X.X.; investigation, X.X.; resources, X.X.; data curation, X.X.; writing—original draft preparation, X.X.; writing—review and editing, X.X.; visualization, X.X.; supervision, X.X.; project administration, X.X.; funding acquisition, Y.Y. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.”

Funding

Please add: “This research received no external funding” or “This research was funded by NAME OF FUNDER, grant number XXX”. Check carefully that the details given are accurate and use the standard spelling of funding agency names. Any errors may affect your future funding.

Ethical Approval

In this part, include the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Statement and approval number if your study required ethical approval. You can omit this if your study did not need it. The Editorial Office might ask for more details. For studies involving humans, you can add: "The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Institutional Review Board (or Ethics Committee) of NAME OF INSTITUTE (protocol code XXX, approval date)." For studies with animals: "The animal study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board (or Ethics Committee) of NAME OF INSTITUTE (protocol code XXX, approval date)." If ethical review was waived: "Ethical review was waived for this study due to REASON." If the study doesn't involve humans or animals: "Not applicable."

Consent to Participate

For research articles involving humans, an informed consent statement is required. You can add: "Informed consent was obtained from all study participants." Or if patient consent was waived: "Patient consent was waived due to REASON." For studies without human involvement: "Not applicable." If identifiable patient information is included, ensure you have written informed consent for publication: "Written informed consent has been obtained from the patient(s) to publish this paper."

Data Availability

We encourage authors to make their research data available. In this part, kindly provide information about where the data that supports the reported findings can be accessed, including links to publicly archived datasets that were examined or created during the study. If new data were not generated or if data cannot be shared due to privacy or ethical reasons, it is still necessary to include a statement.

Acknowledgment

In this part, authors have the opportunity to recognize any assistance provided that falls outside the scope of author contributions or funding details. This could encompass administrative and technical aid, as well as non-monetary contributions like material donations for experiments.

Conflict of Interest

Disclose any conflicts of interest or state "The authors declare no conflict of interest." Authors should disclose any personal circumstances or interests that could potentially affect the representation or interpretation of the research results. Additionally, any involvement of funders in study design, data collection, analysis, manuscript writing, or publication decisions should be specified in this section. If there was no such involvement, please mention "The funders played no role in the study design, data collection, analysis, manuscript writing, or decision to publish the results."

Appendix

The inclusion of an appendix is optional and it can contain supplementary details and data that complement the main text. This could encompass explanatory notes about experimental intricacies, which, while integral to comprehending and replicating the research, might disrupt the primary text's coherence. It's also a suitable space for including supplementary figures of experiment replicates, which correspond to data featured in the main text if they are concise. Mathematical proofs of results that aren't central to the paper can also be added here.

Every appendix section should be referenced within the main text. In the appendices, designations for Figures, Tables, and other elements should commence with "A"—such as Figure A1, Figure A2, and so forth.

References

References should be sequentially numbered based on their appearance in the text, including citations within tables and captions. They should be listed individually at the manuscript's end. Utilizing refference manager software like Mendeley or EndNote is advised to minimize errors and duplicate references. When available, include the digital object identifier (DOI) for references. Citations and references within Supplementary Material are permissible if they're also present in the reference list. In the text, reference numbers should be enclosed in square brackets [ ] and positioned before punctuation; for instance, [1], [1–3], or [1,3].
