- 1. Introduction:
A paper should have a short introduction to state the reasons for the work, with enough reference to previous works on the subject.
- 2. Experimental:
This should be presented as a clear and detailed description of experimental procedures and analytical conditions to enable readers to carry out similar work. Supply sample preparation procedures, name, model and configuration details of equipment used, and data handing methods.
- 3. Results and Discussion:
The original and important findings should be stated.
- 4. Conclusions:
This part should summarize the main achievements and generalize the results of investigation.
- 5. Acknowledgements:
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
- 6. List of symbols and abbreviations.
- 7. References
