GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT 
A graphical abstract (GA) is required since it draws more attention to online articles. The GA should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a broad readership. The GA should be a high-quality illustration or diagram in one of the following formats: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or SVG. Written text in a GA should be clear and easy to read using Calibri font. The minimum required size for the GA is 560 × 1100 pixels (height × width). The image should be of sufficiently high quality to reproduce clearly at 300 dpi for color and at 1200 dpi for black and white.

ABSTRACT
The abstract should be concise (max. 250 words) and contain only the main findings of the research. The font type should be Calibri with 10-point font size.

Keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, keyword4, keyword5

HIGHLIGHTS

The main highlights of the research should be presented in a bulleted list of not more than five bullet points with each bullet point not exceeding 85 characters (including spaces).

MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
The main body of the manuscript should include (but not necessarily be limited to) the following headings and sub-headings (shown below). The font should be 10-point Calibri. Manuscripts must be typed in MSWord format, using a single-column layout with double-spacing on A4-sized pages and fully justified text. All tables and figures should be embedded in the main text. SI units of measurement should be used consistently throughout.

1. INTRODUCTION 
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
   2.1   1^st Sub-heading (e.g., Chemicals and Instrumental Techniques)
   2.1.1 2^nd Sub-heading (e.g., Health and safety precautions)
   For the 1^st sub-heading, the first letter of each main word is capitalized.
   For the 2^nd sub-heading, only the first letter of the first word is capitalized.
