The Results section should be followed by a Discussion that interprets the findings in the context of previous studies and the original hypotheses. The implications of the results should be discussed as broadly as possible, emphasizing their relevance to the field. Where appropriate, potential directions for future research may also be highlighted.
    Kindly note: Results and Discussion should not cross more than 2100 words
  16. Conclusion
    The Conclusion should provide a clear and concise summary of the key findings presented in the Results and Discussion sections. It should articulate the primary conclusions derived from the study and highlight their significance within the broader context of the research field. Rather than repeating earlier content, this section should offer a focused synthesis that underscores the study’s unique contributions to current knowledge. The Conclusion should be well-structured, written in a straightforward manner, and limited to 250–400 words.
    Kindly note: Conclusion should not cross more than 400 words
  17. Tables

    Figures must be submitted as separate, individual files and should not be embedded within the main manuscript text. Each figure should be of high resolution, with a minimum of 300 dots per inch (dpi), to ensure clarity and print quality. Acceptable file formats include TIFF, JPEG, PNG, or EPS. Figures should be prepared in a professional and publication-ready manner, with all graphical elements, labels, and annotations clearly visible and legible. Fonts used in figures should be consistent and large enough to be readable when scaled. Each figure must include a corresponding figure legend, provided either within the figure file or in a separate legends document, clearly explaining the content and context. Please ensure that figures are accurately numbered and referenced appropriately within the text. If any figures include previously published material, proper permissions must be obtained and documented.
  19. Supplementary Information’s
    Supplementary materials should be referenced appropriately within the main manuscript.

Please ensure that all supplementary content complies with the journal’s data availability and reproducibility policies.
  20. Author Contributions
    For articles with multiple authors, a brief paragraph outlining each author's specific contributions must be included. The following standardized format should be used: “Conceptualization, X.X. and Y.Y.; Methodology, X.X.; Software, X.X.; Validation, X.X., Y.Y., and Z.Z.; Formal Analysis, X.X.; Investigation, X.X.; Resources, X.X.; Data Curation, X.X.; Writing—Original Draft Preparation, X.X.; Writing—Review and Editing, X.X.; Visualization, X.X.; Supervision, X.X.; Project Administration, X.X.; Funding Acquisition, Y.Y.”
    All authors must confirm that they have read and approved the final version of the manuscript.
    Please refer to the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) for definitions of each role. Authorship should be restricted to individuals who have made significant and meaningful contributions to the research and manuscript preparation.
  21. Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies in the Writing Process
    Authors must disclose whether generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard) or other AI-assisted technologies were used in the preparation of the manuscript. If such tools were employed, authors should specify the tool used, the purpose (e.g., language editing, summarization, idea generation), and the extent of its contribution. Authors remain fully responsible for the content of the manuscript, including the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all statements.

    For example, a suitable disclosure might be: “Portions of the text were edited for language clarity using ChatGPT (OpenAI), under the direct supervision of the authors.”
    If no AI tools were used, authors should explicitly state: “No generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were used in the writing or editing of this manuscript.”
    This declaration is required to ensure transparency and uphold the ethical standards of scientific publishing.
  22. Funding Information
    All sources of financial support for the research must be clearly acknowledged. Please include the full name of the funding organization(s), grant numbers (if applicable), and the recipients of each grant. For example: “This work was supported by the National Science Foundation [Grant No. 123456] awarded to A.B.”
