supplementary information should be submitted as a separate file during submission.
Supplementary figures and tables should be submitted in a single, separate supplementary file, and must be numbered, for example, Figure
S1 and Table S1. All tables must be editable (preferably created from Microsoft Word). The acceptable formats of images and illustrations
used in figures are JPEG, PNG and TIFF. Citations of these items must be appropriately referenced in the manuscript in chronological manner,
for instance, “Additional information can be found in Table S1.” Note the additional letter S helps distinguish the normal from supplementary
items.

supplementary files) as per the review reports and resubmit the revision file, including the manuscript, title page and back matter, cover letter,
and response/rebuttal letter, before the due date.
Revisions should be done on the latest version of the manuscript (or in some rare cases, edited manuscript provided by the editor) with the
track change on. The revisions made should be described and/or clarified in the response/rebuttal letter; ideally, explanation about the revisions
should be made clear with the help of page number and line number. If authors do not agree with reviewers’ comments and suggestions, rebut
their points with strong evidence and reasonable arguments.
