Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
Original Submission Date Received: .
At MDPI we have slightly revised the layout for articles to be published in 2022 volumes, starting from 21 December 2021. The revised template has been made available for download from the Instructions for Authors page, which has been updated.
To summarise these revisions briefly, the most noticeable change to the template is that the captions and footnotes of large figures/tables are to be left-indented with standard indentation, instead of being center-aligned; the other formats of tables/figures remain unchanged.
(1) The captions and footnotes of large figures/tables are to be left-indented, which is the standard indentation.
In addition, to improve the user experience of LaTeX templates, we used the marginnote package instead of the paracol command in the LaTeX template. This revision will not affect the formatting style of the article. Lastly, we adjusted the spacing from 12pt to 6pt for each element in the information bar, which can be found on the left side of the front page of the article.
Hope the new version could bring a better experience and convenience.
