* Prepare The Manuscript 

- Peer Review.

The Journal employs a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential. All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial evaluation by the editorial team to assess their relevance to the Journal’s scope. Manuscripts deemed appropriate are forwarded to at least two independent reviewers for a thorough assessment of their scientific quality and rigor. The Editor-in-Chief retains the ultimate authority over the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts, and their decisions are final. To maintain objectivity, editors are excluded from decisions on manuscripts which they are authors, co-authors, or have a direct personal or professional interest, including manuscripts authored by their family members, close colleagues, or those involving products or services with which the editor has a vested interest. All submissions are processed in accordance with the Journal’s established protocols, with peer reviews conducted independently of the involved editor and their research teams.

- Detailed instroductions

1. Guidelines for citation and annotation

- Ensure that all references are properly cited within the article's content.

- When citing references, use Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, ... enclosed in square brackets, e.g., [2]. The citation should come before the punctuation mark if it appears at the end of a sentence, e.g., [1].

- The consecutive order (1, 2, 3, ...) correspond to the order in which references are cited in the text and to their listing in the bibliography at the end of the article.

- When citing two references, separate them with a comma, e.g., [1, 2] or [3, 6].

- For three or more non-consecutive references, separate the initial references with commas and use "and" before the final reference, e.g., [2, 3, and 6]. For three or more consecutive references, indicate the range using a hyphen, e.g., write [2-7] instead of [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].

- For direct quotations or when specifying the exact location of the cited material is necessary, include the page number following the reference number, e.g., [4, p. 97].

2. Formulas and Equations

Formulas and equations should be presented using Equation Editor and numbered sequentially from (1) to (n) throughout the article, with the equation numbers aligned to the right. Importantly, formulas should be in an editable text format, not as images. For equations that extend beyond one line, place the equation number on the right of the continued line below. For example:

                                                                                          (1)

                                                                                                                 (2)

All formulas and equations should be inserted in the appropriate location within the text. Note the correct format for subscripts and superscripts. For example: H₃PO₄ instead of  H3PO4.

3. Tables and Figures

All graphs, tables, and figures originating from external sources must be fully cited and sequentially numbered (Table 1, Table 2, …; Figure 1, Figure 2, …). Figures (including photographs, diagrams, illustrations, charts, maps, and graphs) should be centered on the page without surrounding borders. able titles should be positioned above each table, while titles for figures and diagrams should be placed beneath the respective figure. Annotations included should appear centered, in italicized text, without bold formatting. A 6-pt space should be maintained between the title and the corresponding table or figure. Use bold text for "Table 1," "Figure n," etc. "Table 1," "Figure n," etc., should be in bold. After this label, insert a period followed by a single space, then present the title in sentence case. Tables should be provided in an editable text format rather than as images.

Example of Table:

Table 1. Herbicides in Operation Ranch Hand (Hoang Dinh Cau, 2003)

Example of Figure:

Figure 1. Coral gamete sampling

4. Units of measurement

All units of measurement ( in the international system of units - SI) should follow the numerical value, separated by a single space, except in specific cases where the unit is placed directly after the number, such as for angular units (degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″)), temperature (°C), and the percent symbol (%). For example: 15 m; 120 mg/L; 12 kg; 120 people/km²; 90°; 40%; 30°C (noting that the temperature unit should be formatted as °C rather than 0C).

Additional guidelines include:

For units of volume (liter, milliliter, etc.), use uppercase letters to prevent confusion with the number “1”. For example, use 2 mg/L; 5.0 mL (not 2 mg/l or 5.0 ml).

For other unit abbreviations, such as kWh, use lowercase as in “kWh” (not KWh).

Ensure consistency with SI conventions by writing “GPa” or “Pa” instead of “Gpa” or “pa.

5. Guidelines for referencing format

* Author name formatting in references

- Write the author’s name exactly as it appears on the reference.

- For two authors: List both of the authors, separated by commas.

- For three or more authors: List all authors, separated by commas, adding "and" before the last author.

* Order of references

- References should be arranged in ascending order according to the order they appear in the text.

- The format should be set to display reference numbers in a "hanging" style, where all lines after the first are indented to align with the first line.

* References in foreign languages

- For references in English, the titles should remain unchanged, without transliteration or translation.

- For references in other languages, the title should be translated into English, with the original title placed in parentheses right after the translated title. The author's name should be transliterated into the Latin alphabet.

* Presentation of references of different types: Pay attention to periods, commas, spacing, italics, and parentheses when formatting references of different types.
