Abstract: The abstract should be about 300 words maximum in
case of original articles and review, and 200 words maximum in case of short
communication and case report. The abstract should be a single
paragraph and should follow structured abstracts, but without headings. It
should contain Background stating the question addressed in a broad context and
highlight the purpose of the study. Describe briefly the
main materials and methods applied. Summarize the article's main findings and
results, and indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract
should be an objective representation of the article. It
must not contain results, which are not presented and substantiated in the main
text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
Keywords: Three to seven keywords need to be added after the
abstract.
Introduction: The introduction should briefly provide
background information in a broad context and highlight why it is essential. It
should define the work's aims and objectives and its significance,
including specific hypotheses being tested. The introduction has to be
understandable to scientists working outside the topic of the paper.
Materials and Methods: They should be described with sufficient
detail to allow others to apply and repeat the techniques. New methods and
protocols should be described in detail, while well-established
methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited.
Results: Provide a concise and precise description of findings
and the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the experimental
conclusions that can be drawn. Tables and figures have
to be inserted in the results.
All figures and tables should be cited in
the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc. Figures and tables should be placed in
the main text close to their first citation. Legends
containing a short explanatory title and caption must be inserted under the
figure and above the table. To create tables, authors should use the table
option of Microsoft Word, (fonts should be 10 pt and not less
than 8 pt. in size). Figures with an acceptable resolution (minimum 1000 pixels
width/height at least 300dpi) should be inserted also into the main text close
to their first citation.
Discussion: Authors should discuss the results and how they can
be interpreted from previous studies and the working hypotheses. The findings
and their implications should be discussed in the broadest
context possible, and limitations of the work Should be highlighted. Future
research
directions may also be mentioned. This section may be combined with Results.
Conclusions: This section is not mandatory, but can be added to
the discussion.
Note: The review articles should include the front and the back
parts of the manuscript template. The template file can
be used to prepare the review manuscript, but it is not necessary to follow the
same structure. The body of the review article may be divided into subsections
with short and informative headings. The systematic
reviews should follow the PRISMA guidelines.

published online alongside the manuscript (figure, tables, video, spreadsheets,
etc.). Please indicate each element's name and title
as follows Figure S1: title, Table S1: title, etc.
