Abstract: A single paragraph of about 200 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts 1

should give a pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use 2

the following style of structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: place 3

the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; (2) 4

Methods: describe briefly the main methods or treatments applied; (3) Results: summarize 5

the article’s main findings; (4) Conclusions: indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. 6

The abstract should be an objective representation of the article, it must not contain results 7

which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the 8

main conclusions. 9

Keywords: keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3 (List three to ten pertinent keywords specific 10

to the article; yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.) 11

0. How to Use this Template 12

The template details the sections that can be used in a manuscript. Note that the 13

order and names of article sections may differ from the requirements of the journal (e.g., 14

the positioning of the Materials and Methods section). Please check the instructions on 15

the authors’ page of the journal to verify the correct order and names. For any questions, 16

please contact the editorial office of the journal or [email protected]. For LaTeX-related 17

questions please contact [email protected]. 18

1. Introduction 19

The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why 20
Received:
Revised: it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current 21

Accepted: state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications cited. Please 22

Published: highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention 23

Citation: Lastname, F.; Lastname, F.; the main aim of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. As far as possible, please 24

2. Materials and Methods 34

Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to 35

replicate and build on published results. Please note that publication of your manuscript 36

implicates that you must make all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated 37

with the publication available to readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any 38

restrictions on the availability of materials or information. New methods and protocols 39

should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and 40

appropriately cited. 41

Research manuscripts reporting large datasets that are deposited in a publicly avail- 42

able database should specify where the data have been deposited and provide the relevant 43

accession numbers. If the accession numbers have not yet been obtained at the time of 44

submission, please state that they will be provided during review. They must be provided 45

prior to publication. 46

a = b+c+d+e+ f +g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+o+ p+q+r+s+t+u+v+w+x+y+z (2)

Please punctuate equations as regular text. Theorem-type environments (including 76

propositions, lemmas, corollaries etc.) can be formatted as follows: 77

Theorem 1. Example text of a theorem. 78

The text continues here. Proofs must be formatted as follows: 79

Proof of Theorem 1. Text of the proof. Note that the phrase “of Theorem 1” is optional if it 80
