Please note that the journal follows a HYPERLINK "https://www.elsevier.com/en-gb/reviewer/what-is-peer-review/guidelines" double anonymised peer review process, therefore a separate title page and an anonymised manuscript should be submitted.

Legends/captions are mandatory for all figures and tables. Please ensure they are included in the manuscript. Please make sure to provide the table in editable format, using the extension .doc/.docx for Word files. Please refer the “Reference” section regarding various styles while preparing your manuscript. For equations, please try to use “Math Type” coding in the manuscript We encourage you to submit the figures as a separate file.

It should be emphasised, however, that the final appearance of your paper in print and in electronic media will very likely vary to greater or lesser extent from the presentation achieved in this Word® document. Title page Naturally, your paper should start with a concise and informative title. Do not use abbreviations in it. Next, list all authors with their first names or initials and surnames (in that order). Collaborators (sometimes called non-author contributors) will be listed on PubMed as collaborators rather than authors. In order to be indexed as collaborators, the names of the consortium or working group members should be listed in acknowledgement section in the main text document. The consortium or working group should also be included in the main author list. PubMed will list the names of individual group members who are authors or collaborators. Present addresses can be inserted as Word® footnotes using the ‘Insert’ → ‘Footnote’ menu. After having listed all authors’ names, you should list their respective affiliations. Link authors and affiliations using superscript lower case letters from the ‘Author Footnote Symbols’ menu in the toolbar Abstract An abstract is required for every paper; it should succinctly summarise the reason for the work, the main findings, and the conclusions of the study
