Cover letter
The cover letter should state clearly what is included in the submission, including numbers of text words, numbers of figures, any supplementary information (specifying number of items and format), corresponding authors' current postal and e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.
The Journal communicates with authors by e-mail. Authors must specify clearly if they wish to exclude certain method of communication.
1. Title: The titles of the articles should be as short and informative as possible, and should not contain non-standard acronyms or abbreviations.
2. Authors: Names of all authors should be contained. The corresponding authors should be marked with
the symbol "*". The complete name of an author is to be described in the order:
the first name, (the middle name), the family name.
The family name of Chinese author should be all capitalized.
Examples are as follows:
Joshua W. Shaevitz, Chengyuan WU (Chinese name), Young Jin Song (Korean name).
3. Complete name(s) of institution(s): Complete name(s) of institution(s)
that authors are working in should be contained. If there are
several institutions, please mark them with "1, 2, 3, ¡, etc."
4. Correspondence: The complete mailing addresses of all authors should be contained. The e-mail of corresponding author is necessary. Please list the telephone and fax numbers of the authors if possible.
Abstract and keywords
1. The abstract should succinctly and clearly describe the major findings reported in the manuscript and should be understandable in itself. It must not exceed 300 words.
2. 3~5 keywords of the article must be standard. Introduction
1. This section presents the purpose of the studies reported and their relationship to earlier work in the field
2. The introduction should not be an extensive review of the literatures, in general, less than one typed page
Experimental Procedures (materials and methods)
1. The experimental procedures should be described briefly but sufficiently enough to allow a qualified reader to repeat the experiments reported.
2. Only truly new procedures should be described in detail
3. Please cite previously published procedures in References.
Results
1. The results should be mainly present with figures and tables.
2. There is no extensive discussion in Results section.
Discussion
1. The discussion should be concise (usually less than two typed pages).
2. This section should focused on the interpretation of the results rather than a repetition of Results section

Table formats
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate sheet in double-spacing with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive. The table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text.
Figure formats
Follow following guidelines carefully to produce figures suitable for editorial standard. Otherwise your figures published should be indistinct.
1. We prefer that you convert all your figures to medium-resolution
JPEG to reduce the upload time our submission site. If you cannot send
JPEG we can accept GIF, PDF and TIFF only.
Please do not send other formats.
2. Figures should be prepared at the size you would expect them to appear in Journal. (A single column of the journal's page is
84 mm wide; double column is 174 mm wide). If you expect a figure to appear in a single column, the size of the figure should be
≤ 84 mm wide. If the figure is expected to be wider than a single column, the size of the figure should be
≥ 84 mm wide and ≤ 174 mm wide.
3. We prefer figures to be 300 DPI. Colour, when used as an identifying tool, should be distinct.
4. Please name your figure files with the convention: "Corresponding-author's-name_fig1.jpg".
5. For figures with more than one part, label parts "a", "b" etc., and create a
PDF scan of the whole figure to show preferred layout. On each composite include the corresponding author's name. We reference number when known, and the figure number. |
