As of 2025, the journal will request that authors submit manuscripts accompanied by a graphical abstract. A graphical abstract serves as a visual synopsis of the manuscript, succinctly conveying its objectives and distinctive contributions. This facilitates readers' rapid and effective comprehension of the paper's core message, encouraging them to explore the text further, including the abstract, conclusion, introduction, and figures. It also assists reviewers in forming an initial assessment and understanding of the manuscript.

Please ensure that all authors are informed of this requirement. Manuscripts lacking a graphical abstract may experience delays in entering the peer-review process.
