The draft paper should clearly present the research objectives and scope, and include a thorough review of the literature to demonstrate original contributions to the state of the art. The methodology should be presented in full to enable reproduction of the results in the paper. The graphic results must be presented clearly and well-designed, with in-depth discussion and analysis.

Articles are recommended to be 6-10 pages in length (including tables, figures, and references). Please note, however, that the page count is not an impediment to acceptance.
