Manuscript Format & Content

General formatting (Arial, 11pt, 1.5 spacing, standard margins, etc.) is recommended for consistency, but not strictly required at initial submission. Line numbers are helpful for peer review and may be added later if missing.

We recommend organizing manuscripts using the following structure:

1. Title Page: Overview, Authors, Keywords (3-5).
2. Abstract: A concise summary (usually a single paragraph) of the problem, methodology, key results, and conclusions without citations.
3. Introduction: Background context, existing work, gaps in research, and the study's objectives.
4. Materials and Methods: Sufficient detail for replication, without step-by-step lists. Unique reagents should be specified.
5. Results: Clear presentation of the findings.
6. Discussion: Interpretation of results, limitations, and future directions.
7. Acknowledgments (Optional): Recognizing non-author contributors and funding sources.
8. References: Chicago style citations.
9. Figures & Tables: Embedded or appended logically.

The manuscript body (Introduction through Materials & Methods) should ideally not exceed 10 pages. Submissions prepared outside the official template are welcome, and formatting adjustments can be made during the editorial process.
