Dear sir, thank you for responding, I started this research while I was doing my PhD because I found it similar in methodology that I used in my thesis. it is not a part of the research that I conducted for my thesis and it was of course not mentioned in the thesis manuscript. My supervisor only knows that I try something new but she did not interfere in anything, just she showed her interest for this new item. At the beginning, I used the institute's resources to conduct this study but I did not complete all this study. After passing 3 years from my defense, I continue this alone with another lab resources. So, please, I need your answer before I send it to an article
