Articles are suggested to be limited to 10 print pages, including references, captions, and notes.
Reviews: Summarize the recent progress in certain core scientific disciplines, comment on the research status, and highlight future directions. The author(s) should focus on one topical aspect rather than provide a comprehensive literature survey. Review papers shouldclosely relate to, but notonly focus on the author’s own research work. Reviews are usually solicited bythe editors, but unsolicited submissions may also be considered.
