Author Information
( Graphical Abstracts )

Graphical abstracts should represent the content of the text abstract. The abstract must not introduce information that is not contained in the text of the paper, but the graphical abstract should not contain new information or data that are not contained in the text of the paper.

Graphical abstracts should not duplicate any figure already included in the paper.

Graphical abstracts do not have titles, a caption, or note sections, so they should be completely self-explanatory.

Graphical abstracts should not exceed one third of the page of an A4.
