Copyright

Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. After a manuscript has been accepted the Authors will receive an electronic notification to transfer copyright of the article to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.

Manuscript Style

All pages should be typed double−spaced and numbered (including pages containing the title, authors names and affiliation footnotes, abstract, acknowledgments, references, tables, and figure caption list).

A title page is to be provided and should include the title of the article, authors name (no degrees), authors affiliation, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city, and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the authors name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. For office purposes, the title page should include the complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e−mail address of the one author designated to review proofs.

Declarations

All manuscripts must contain the following sections under the heading 'Declarations', to be placed before the References. If any of the sections are not relevant to your manuscript, please include the heading and write 'Not applicable' for that section:

Funding (information that explains whether and by whom the research was supported)

Conflicts of interest/Competing interests (include appropriate disclosures)

Ethics approval (include appropriate approvals or waivers)

Consent to participate (include appropriate consent statements)

Consent for publication (consent statement regarding publishing an individual’s data or image)

Availability of data and material (data transparency)

Code availability (software application or custom code)

Authors' contributions

An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words.

A list of 5–6 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purpose.

Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate page. Photographs should be large glossy images, showing high contrast. Color art should be in the CYMK color space.

Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page. Center the title above the table, and type explanatory footnotes (indicated by superscript lowercase letters) below the table.

List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include titles of papers.
