Authors should write their articles by making comparisons with a sufficient number of relevant papers (i.e. closely related to what is being proposed/discussed/analyzed) that are among the most recently published. In this way, Authors should make the argument that there is novelty compared to the state of the art and thus hopefully convince the Reviewer(s) about the merits of their submitted manuscripts. In fact, it is the Authors’ responsibility to (1) clearly state what they think the novelty is; (2) provide evidence that the novelty is not incremental; and (3), add appropriate statements in the manuscript (such as in the Introduction section and/or other appropriate sections).
