Abstract
The abstract should include information for readers to allow them to judge the original ESMS Journal's significance and multi-disciplinary topic. Either a classical investigatory sectioning of the paper (literature review, data and method, results and discussions, conclusions, etc.), or some different and renamed structures should summarize the paper's objectives, methodology, results and conclusions. In order to increase the visibility of the article, the abstract should reiterate two or three keywords, and even significant phrases.
