Author Instructions

2.3.3.9 References
References should be restricted to those of importance within the realm of your work and should be kept to a maximum of
30 (excluding reviews and meta-analyses). They should be numbered in order of appearance at the end of manuscripts. In
the text, reference numbers should be placed in square brackets and the corresponding references are cited thereafter. If the
number of authors is less than or equal to six, we require to list all authors’ names. If the number of authors is more than
six, only the first three authors’ names are required to be listed in the references, other authors’ names should be omitted
and replaced with “et al.”. Abbreviations of the journals should be provided on the basis of Index Medicus. Information
from manuscripts accepted but not published should be cited in the text as “Unpublished material” with written permission
from the source.
References should be described as follows, depending on the types of works:

The journal also recommends that authors prepare references with a bibliography software package, such as EndNote to
avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references.

2.3.3.10 Supplementary Materials
Additional data and information can be uploaded as Supplementary Materials to accompany the manuscripts. The
supplementary materials will also be available to the referees as part of the peer-review process. Any file format is
acceptable, such as data sheet (word, excel, csv, cdx, fasta, pdf or zip files), presentation (powerpoint, pdf or zip files), image
(cdx, eps, jpeg, pdf, png or tiff), table (word, excel, csv or pdf), audio (mp3, wav or wma) or video (avi, divx, flv, mov, mp4,
mpeg, mpg or wmv). All information should be clearly presented. Supplementary materials should be cited in the main text
in numeric order (e.g., Supplementary Figure 1, Supplementary Figure 2, Supplementary Table 1, Supplementary Table 2,
etc.). The style of supplementary figures or tables complies with the same requirements on figures or tables in main text.
Videos and audios should be prepared in English, and limited to a size of 500 MB.

2.4 Manuscript Format
2.4.1 File Format
Manuscript files can be in DOC and DOCX formats and should not be locked or protected.

2.4.2 Length
While there are no general restrictions on paper length, number of figures, or amount of supporting documents, figures
and tables should be kept to a minimum. Authors are encouraged to present and discuss their findings concisely without
repeating data in detail in the text body which has been presented in figures and tables.
