Specific requirements
Title: A brief and informative title less than 20 words is required. It must indicate clearly the nature of the subject, and should not contain the symbols, codes, mathematical formulas, chemical structures and so on.
Author and affiliation: The spelling of author′name should be consistent with the custom of different countries in principle. For Chinese author, the order is the last name, then the first name, without hyphen between them, such as LI Wenyan; For foreign author, the first name, then the last name, such as Leslie SMITH. Use commas between authors. The full address of author′s institution must be given, and initials of the content words are capital and italic. In subsequently, city, zip code and state name should be listed.
Abstract and keywords: An informative, self-explanatory abstract, about 200 to 300 words, must be supplied in one paragraph. It should be telling why and how the study was made, what the major results and conclusions were. It should not contain any formulas, tables, figures or references. More than five keywords briefly summarizing the essential contents must be provided.
Foundation item and corresponding author: Foundation item name and foundation number should be stated as a footnote in the bottom of the first page. Meanwhile, corresponding author′name and E-mail are needed.
Section Headings: All the headings must be brief and accurate. Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 2., 2.1, etc.).
Formula: Formula in the text must be in a separate line and in the center. Subscripts including symbols and numbers representing for variation must be italic, while mathematical symbols (like sin, exp, e, ln, d, etc) and English abbreviation (for example, max, min, lim and son on) should be normal. Foreign letters must pay close attention to the case, capital or not. Confusing letters mentioned in the first time must be marked especially.
Figures: Figures must be made by computer. National boundaries in the figures should be drawn as the standard base map published by China Cartographic Publishing House recently. Taiwan Province and South China Sea Islands must be not forgotten. Finally, the figure number, caption and note should be marked in the manuscripts.
Tables: Each table should be numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). In tables, symbols must be italic and units should be normal. All data in the table must be accurate and consistent with the description in the text. Footnotes in the tables are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. Please provide a caption (without abbreviations) to each table, refer to the table in the text and note its approximate location in the margin.
References: All the references must be published in public, if not, added as the footnote in the same page. All the references must be translated into English, indicating the original language, such as (in Chinese). All publications referred to in the text should be presented in a list of references and arranged by the author′ s name-year system. In the text, a reference identified by means of an author′s name should be followed by the year of the publication in parentheses where appropriate, such as (Wen, 1998). When there are more than three authors, only the first author‘s name should he mentioned, followed by ‘‘et al.’’. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ”a” and ”b” after the date to distinguish the works.
Acknowledgements: Acknowledgements of people etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.
Conflict of Interest and Author Contributions: Authors are responsible for correctness of the statements provided in the manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject submissions that do not meet the guidelines described in this section. Please refer to the download attachment for specific content.
