           2. Submission Preparation
           2.1 Cover Letter
           A cover letter is required to be submitted accompanying each manuscript. It should be concise and explain why the study
           is significant, why it fits the scope of the journal, and why it would be attractive to readers, etc.
           Here is a guideline of a cover letter for authors’ consideration:
           In the first paragraph: include the title and type (e.g., Original Article, Review, Case Report, etc.) of the manuscript, a brief
           on the background of the study, the question the author sought out to answer and why;
           In the second paragraph: concisely explain what was done, the main findings and why they are significant;
           In the third paragraph: indicate why the manuscript fits the Aims and Scope of the journal, and why it would be attractive
           to readers;
           In the fourth paragraph: confirm that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere and not under consideration of any
           other journal. All authors have approved the manuscript and agreed on its submission to the journal. Journal’s specific
           requirements have been met if any.
           If the manuscript is contributed to a special issue, please also mention it in the cover letter.
           If the manuscript was presented partly or entirely in a conference, the author should clearly state the background information
           of the event, including the conference name, time and place in the cover letter.
