Article Structure
Subdivision ‐ numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross‐referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Literature Review
Research
Questions
Material and Methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be replicated. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short Conclusions section, which should not simply repeat earlier sections.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Guidelines on Types of Papers
Empirical Papers：No more than 7,000 words (EXCLUDING abstract, references and appendixes) with at least 20 references. The papers should engage qualitative or quantitative analysis based on experiments or data. The author should bring about new views or evidence, or argue against present views or evidence.
Review Papers：No more than 7,000 words (EXCLUDING abstract, references and appendixes) with at least 50 references. The papers should reflect the most recent research achievements in related disciplines and should focus on discussion and evaluation. The author should bring his/her originality to the reviewed topic and look into the prospects of future research.
Book/Technological tool Reviews: The reviews should go beyond a mere listing of the contents of a book/technological tool, and should normally include a critical evaluation of the main ideas being discussed. Book/Technological reviews should not normally exceed 1500 words, but the editor will accept longer reviews where seminal books or important technological tools are concerned.
