Recommended sections for typical original experimental communications:
Introduction: Should not be longer than one paragraph providing an appropriate background for the research work.
Methods: The methods should provide enough detail of all the procedures used in the extended abstract to allow the reproducibility of the presented research. We encourage authors to provide information related to the experimental design as suggested in ARRIVE and NIH guidelines (e.g., information about replicates, randomization, blinding, sample size, and the criteria for inclusion and exclusion of any data or subjects).
Results and discussion: The results should be clear and concise. The discussion should be precise and not longer than one or two short paragraphs.
SI units and IUPAC recommendations: Manuscripts must adhere to SI units and IUPAC recommendations. MitoEAGLE recommendations on terms and symbols are to be implemented.
