The English abstract is a concise article that provides an overview of the paper's content. It aims to accurately and succinctly describe the essential information of the paper, adhering to the principle of maintaining equal importance as the main paper. The Chinese "research paper" abstract should consist of five elements: "research background, objective, method, result, and conclusion," with a word limit of 500 words. It should strive for detailed coverage by presenting crucial aspects such as research background, primary objectives, methodologies employed, key findings and conclusions in addressing the problem at hand. Emphasis should be placed on highlighting innovative contributions while incorporating significant arguments and pertinent details (including important data) from within the paper itself. The English abstracts for an English "research paper," Chinese "review," and Chinese "Research brief" should encompass four elements: "research purpose, methods, results, and conclusions." These abstracts are expected to range between 200-300 words. Avoid including figures, tables or chemical structural formulas in addition to non-public symbols or terms within any abstracts; referencing figure/table/formula numbers is also deemed inappropriate.
