Types of Paper instruction

1.

Full Length Article: A full-length article should be a substantial and

in-depth research study regarding a particular state of issue through

several techniques or approaches. The main text should be approximately

6,000 words in length, but it should not exceed 8,000 words (excluding

abstract, references, tables, figures, and appendices). A maximum of 250

words abstract and up to 10 displayed items ?figures and tables?is

allowed. A full-length article should include an introduction, materials

and methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, and references,

which can be accompanied by supplementary information.

2.

Review Article: A review article should provide recent developments in

scientific disciplines, including historical overviews, recent

scientific advances, and perspectives for future development. It should

be critical, balanced, and scholarly. The main text should be

approximately 6,000 words in length, but it should not exceed 10,000

words (excluding abstract, references, tables, figures, and appendices).

A maximum of 120 references is allowed. A review article can be

accompanied by supplementary information.

3.

Short Communication: A short communication provides a brief study of

high quality and general interest. It should be published quickly. A

short communication is expected to have no more than 3000 words

including up to 4 displayed items, a 250-word abstract, and a maximum of

20 references. Short Communications can be accompanied by supplementary

information.

4.

Editorial: Editorials are written by the Editor-in-Chief, Associate

Editors, Guest Editors, Editorial Board Members, or invited scientists

and experts. Editorials are not typically peer-reviewed articles with

around 2,000-3,000 words, up to 4,000 words in main text, an abstract of

around 250 words, up to 30 references, and up to 4 tables and figures.

5.

Perspective: Perspectives present a new and unique viewpoint on

existing problems, fundamental concepts, or prevalent notions on a

specific topic, propose and support a new hypothesis, or discuss the

implications of a newly implemented innovation. Perspectives focus on

current advances and future directions on a topic with personal opinion,

and may include original data. Compared to Reviews, they are more

forward looking and speculative with a narrower field of view.

Perspectives are usually short peer-reviewed articles with around

3,000-4,000 words in main text, an abstract of around 250 words, up to

50 references, and up to 6 figures and tables.

6.

Commentary: Commentary is opinionated articles on a topical scientific

issue, a relevant policy or a newly published article in the journal.

Comments are suggested to develop a proposed solution in detail while

focusing on an issue or problem. For comments on a recent publication,

they can either challenge or extend one or more aspects of a focal

article with a respective and constructive tone. A comment is generally

with a short length up to 2000 words in main text, 250 words in abstract

and 10 references. It is encouraged to provide 1-2 figures or tables,

but not prerequisite.
