Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Materials and Methods
Provide sufficient material and instrumentation mainly used in the work. Provide detail of the research method to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results and Discussions
Combination of results and discussion section used and should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Acknowledgement
Supporting grant, collaboration or institution can be placed in this section.
Supplementary data
Supporting data / information for online publication can be submitted in separate file of the manuscript.
Figure
Figure artwork (digital photograph, chromatogram, scheme) should be clear with minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Artwork or scheme prepared using Ms Word, Ms Excel or Ms Powerpoint should be saved as tiff or JPG to avoid miss layout. Please put the figures inside the manuscript according to the related text, do not place the figures separately in the last of the manuscript.
Figure caption
Ensure each figure has a caption, place below the figure, center alignment, sentence case and avoid to use the uncommon abbreviation. Use the bold font of the figure caption (e.g Figure 1).
Table
Use horizontal border on the table header and last line, without vertical border. Place the table caption above the table. Footnote (if necessary) should be place below the table, with smaller font size of the table font.
References
Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as Mendeley [https://csl.mendeley.com/styles/578303501/jmans] or Zotero [JMANS Citation Style File] (Tutorial to Install Citation Style) to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references.
The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively.
