2.3 Manuscript Structure
2.3.1 Front Matter
2.3.1.1 Title
The title of the manuscript should be concise, specific and relevant, with no more than 16 words if possible. When gene or
protein names are included, the abbreviated name rather than full name should be used.
2.3.1.2 Authors and Affiliations
Authors’ full names should be listed. The initials of middle names can be provided. Institutional addresses and email
addresses for all authors should be listed. At least one author should be designated as corresponding author. In addition,
corresponding authors are suggested to provide their Open Researcher and Contributor ID upon submission. Please note
that any change to authorship is not allowed after manuscript acceptance.
2.3.1.3 Highlights
Highlights are mandatory because they can help increase the discoverability of your article through search engines. They
consist of a short collection of bullet points that capture the novel results of your research as well as new methods that were
used during the study (if any). They should be submitted in a separate editable file in the online submission system. Please
use ‘Highlights’ in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters per bullet point, including spaces).
2.3.1.4 Abstract
Original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses require structured abstracts. The abstract should provide the
context or background for the study and should state the study’s purpose, basic procedures (selection of study participants,
settings, measurements, analytical methods), main findings (giving specific effect sizes and their statistical and clinical
significance, if possible), and principal conclusions. It should emphasize new and important aspects of the study or
observations, note important limitations, and not overinterpret findings. Clinical trial abstracts should include items that the
CONSORT group has identified as essential. It is not allowed to contain results which are not presented and substantiated in
the manuscript, or exaggerate the main conclusions. Citations should not be included in the abstract.

2.3.1.5 Graphical Abstract
The graphical summary is optional. It should summarize the content of the article in a concise graphical form. It is
recommended to use it because this can make online articles get more attention. The graphic abstract should be submitted
as a separate document in the online submission system. Please provide image with a resolution greater than 300 dpi.
Preferred file types: TIFF, PSD, AI, JPEG and EPS files.
