Abstract: The abstract should be concise (maximum of 250 words). This should stand-alone and should not be part of the document.

Key words: Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts . Use words or phrases that you feel capture the most important aspects of your paper.

Graphical abstract
Although a graphical abstract is optional, its use is encouraged as it draws more attention to the online article. The graphical abstract should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as a separate file in the online submission system. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image should be readable at a size of 5 ×13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi.

Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office files.

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. Outline the purpose and announce the present research, clearly indicating what is novel and why it is significant. Avoid repeating the abstract; providing unnecessary background information; exaggerating the importance of work.

Material and methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized, and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the
Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.

1.  
1. Present the results of the paper, in logical order, starting with characterizing study participants
2. Cross-check if objectives of the study are all addressed
3. Consider use of tables, graphs and illustrations as necessary not more than five
4. Tables/Figures should be presented within the text, not in separate files.

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

1.  
1. Provide a very brief summary of Results and Discussion  without no repetition of results
2. Emphasize the implications of the findings, explaining how the work is significant and providing the key message(s) the author wishes to convey
3. Provide the most general claims that can be supported by the evidence
4. Provide suggested future perspective on the work (recommendations)
5. A take home messge to the PCM community is utmost importance.
2. Conflict of interest statement with respect to funding and so on.
3. Contribution of authors is also necessary.
4. Acknowledgements
   Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
5. Formatting of funding sources
   List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder's requirements:
   Funding: This work was supported by the National Institutes of PCM [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy] etc. 

References :

Citation in text Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Anyfurther information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
References in a special issue
Please ensure that the words 'this issue' are added to any references in the list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same Special Issue.

1.  
1. Include contemporary citations that provide sufficient context to allow for critical analysis of this work by others
2. Include citations that give the reader sources of background and related material so that the current work can be understood by the target audience
3. Include citations that acknowledge and give credit to sources relied upon for this work
4. Use Vancouver referencing style at the end of the text (for more information http://guides.lib.monash.edu/citing-referencing/vancouver) whereas inside the text use Citations identified by numbers in square brackets; these should be
   placed before punctuation marks. Some examples:
   1. This material is used in a wide variety of applications [3].
   2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].
   3. This effect has been widely studied [1–3, 7].

Figures and Tables

Figures should be original graphs (*.tif) with high contrast, suitable for immediate reproduction, typed on separate sheets and identified by its number. Width of an image should be sized to 6.5 cm for one column, 13.5 cm for full columns; and a maximum width is 15 cm for full page. In the figures,the main lines should be about 0.3 mm in width, and the assistant lines 0.15 mm. Notations in the figures should be distinct and consistent with the same ones in the text, and their font size will be 8-10 pt. Line drawings and graphs must have exported resolution of at least 1200 dpi. Photographs and micrographs must have resolution of at least 300 dpi (600 dpi if there is text or line art in the figure). Please use LZW compression. The positions of figures should be marked in the text by boxes of a suitable size. Each figure should have its own caption. Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Tables
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the
relevant text in the article, . Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.

1.  
1. Ensure that the Figures accurately and carefully document the data and their context
2. Provide appropriate titles that best describe the content
3. Figures and Tables should appear inside the main text properly placed.
4. Total number of Tables and Figures should not exceed five respectively.
2. Math formulae
   Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
3. Artwork
   Electronic artwork
   General points
   • Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
