Notes for Contribution

1. Title: The title shall be concise and clear, at a maximum of 20 words, and the headings at all levels shall be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, such as "1.1, 1.1.1......", keeping 3-level heading at most.

 

2. Author and working institution: There shall be no dispute over the attribution. No co-first authorship is acceptable, and no more than 2 corresponding authors are allowed. The order and names of authors cannot be changed or modified after submission no other authors can be added. Therefore, the attribution shall be determined with caution. All authors must indicate the information of their working institution, including the full name, city, and postcode in both Chinese and English. The name shall be listed last name first and then the first name (foreign authors shall follow their writing habits). All letters of the last name shall be capitalized, while only the first letter of the first name shall be capitalized, for example, ZHANG Xiaohu. Additionally, the order of authors in both English and Chinese shall be the same.

 

3. Abstract and keywords in Chinese and English: The abstract shall include four parts as follows: test objective, test methods, main results, and conclusions (research significance). The number of keywords shall be 3 to 5.

 

4. Footnote in first page:

Funding: The fund can only have 1 number after each major item, at a maximum of 4, which cannot be modified after submission. Therefore, the author shall check carefully when filling in the relevant information. 

List of authors: The first author shall be listed with name, gender, title, research interests, and E-mail. The corresponding author shall be listed as above.

 

5. Introduction: The introduction should be concise and generally structured into four paragraphs in sequence: (1) research background (briefly stated, avoiding lengthy general overviews); (2) a summary of previous research progress and existing gaps; (3) the entry point of this study and the research hypotheses; (4) the questions to be addressed. Transitions between paragraphs and sentences should be smooth. The use of AI tools to generate fake references or fabricated content is strictly prohibited. When describing previous research, proper literature citations are required, and foreign literature must not be omitted.

 

6. Materials and methods: The test time, test location, material name, test scale (sample size), sampling methods, design ideas, design test methods, number of repetitions, test samples, drugs and specifications, test equipment, and statistical methods shall be clearly described. In principle, the test methods shall be subjected to repeatability by readers according to the manuscript.

 

7. Results and analysis: The main research results shall be described with basic data and secondary, tertiary, or quaternary data obtained through statistical analysis of basic data, and the information gained after statistical analysis of data shall be presented distinctly and clearly. No referred literature or detailed discussion is required in this part.

 

8. Figures and tables: Only necessary figures and tables can be attached to avoid massive irrelevant data, or repeated descriptions between figures or tables and text. The title of figures and tables, project name at the header, and note shall be listed in both Chinese and English, with the initial English letter uppercase and the remaining letters lowercase, such as Irradiation dose/kGy. The table shall be three-line type. Abbreviations, significance analyses, etc. for first mention in figures and tables shall be defined with the note below the figure and table, such as "Note: ...".

 

9. Discussion: The discussion should closely revolve around the results of this study and be organized sequentially into paragraphs (with optional secondary headings as needed) for indepth analysis.
A wellstructured discussion typically includes: (1) an interpretive summary of the principles and interrelationships demonstrated in the Results and Analysis section, avoiding simple restatement of results or mere listing of others’ findings; (2) a comparison of the present results with previous work, indicating what has been verified, corroborated, or refuted; (3) a discussion of the theoretical implications and potential practical applications of this work; and (4) identification of any exceptions or problematic relationships, along with clear statements of unresolved issues and directions for future research.
Notes: (1) The discussion should help readers appreciate the differences or novel aspects of this study relative to existing related research, and lead to logical conclusions; (2) maintain smooth transitions, progression, and depth within the discussion, avoiding excessively long blocks of text; (3) do not repeat the research background or significance (which belong in the Introduction) or the results (which belong in Results and Analysis), and do not simply list others’ findings; (4) the use of AI tools to generate fake discussion content, especially fake references, is strictly prohibited (any such cases will result in rejection or retraction).

 

10. Conclusion: Conclusions should be concise, clear, and logically organized, summarizing the main findings of the paper. They should not be a simple repetition of the results or the abstract. Avoid using secondary headings or subsection numbers; present them as a coherent narrative.

 

11. References: For research articles, 28–35 references are recommended; for review articles, 45–70 references. At least 70% of the references should be from the last five years, and no fewer than 5 should be in foreign languages. References should be numbered in order of citation (the journal uses the sequential coding system, not the author–year system) and marked with superscript numbers in the corresponding text positions. When the number of authors is ≤3, all must be listed; when >3, abbreviate from the fourth author onward as “等” (for Chinese references) or “et al.” (for English references). All punctuation in references should follow English conventions, with a space after commas, periods, and colons. Each reference entry ends with a period (.). For Chinese references, an English translation must be provided below, and the original English version should be used if available (do not translate it yourself if an official version exists).


12. Map: When maprelated information is involved in the manuscript, textual description is preferred over using a map. If a map is essential and its omission would compromise the completeness of the article, the standard map must be downloaded from the Ministry of Natural Resources (URL: http://bzdt.ch.mnr.gov.cn) and the map review number must be indicated (if any modifications are made to the map, re review is required).

 

13. Measurement: Quantities and units shall follow international standards on quantities and units and China's legal units of measurement. The century, year, month, day, time, etc. shall be written in Arabic numerals. The foreign characters shall be case-sensitive and italic or normal (the plant genera, species, diseases, and insects in the text must be accompanied by Latin names in italics, with full name for the first mention and abbreviation for further mention. The proposer of the scientific name of the species, and the order, family, and race shall be written in normal style). The position of the upper and lower corner characters shall be clearly distinguished, such as hm2 and m2 for area; d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), and s (seconds) for time; t (tons), kg (kilograms), and g (grams) for weight; L (liters), mL (milliliters), and mol (mole) for volume; mol·L-1, mg·L-1, and mg·kg-1 for concentration, Bq (Baker) for radioactive activity; and Gy or kGy for irradiation dose (1/4 space is required between the number and the unit).
