Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square

brackets. The list of references at the end of the paper should be
given in order of their first appearance in the text. All authors
should be included in reference lists unless there are 10 or more,
in which case only the first 10 should be given, followed by ‘et
al.’. Do not use individual sets of square brackets for citation
numbers that appear together, e.g., [2,3, 5–9], not [2], [3], [5]–[9].
Do not include personal communications, unpublished data,
websites, or other unpublished materials as references, although
such material may be inserted (in parentheses) in the text. In the
case of publications in languages other than English, the
published English title should be provided if one exists, with an
annotation such as “(article in Chinese with an abstract in
English)”. If the publication was not published with an English
title, cite the original title only; do not provide a self-translation.
Font size of references are Time New Roman, normal, size 8.
Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper
nouns and element symbols. References should be formatted as
follows (please note the punctuation and capitalization):
Note that you should include DOI of correspondence
reference at the end. No need to categorize the references into
journal, conference and thesis headings. References should be
cited in text in ascending order.
Journal articles: Journal titles should be abbreviated according
to ISI Web of Science abbreviations.
