I am preparing to send my article to a Springer journal for the first time. I have a long algorithm to put it in the paper, how can I make the algorithm to be automatically split over multiple columns when it get to the margins defined by the template.

\caption{Square Root Cubature Kalman Filter (SCKF)}
\textbf{Time update}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\State Evaluate the cubature points (i=1,2,...,$m = 2n_x$)

X_{i,k-1|k-1} = \hat{x}_{k-1|k-1} + S_{i,k-1|k-1}\zeta_i
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Evaluate the propagated cubature points through the process equation (i=1,2,...,$m = 2n_x$)
\begin{equation}
X_{i,k|k-1}^*=f(X_{i,k-1|k-1},u_{k-1},\theta)
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the predicted state
\begin{equation}
\hat{x}_{k|k-1} = \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m{X_{i,k|k-1}^*}Y
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the square root factor of the predicted error covariance.
\begin{equation}
S_{k|k-1} = Tria([\chi_{k|k-1}^* S_{Q,k-1}])
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
Where $S_{Q,k-1}$ denote the square root factor of $Q_{k-1}$ such that $Q_{k-1} = S_{Q,k-1}S_{Q,k-1}^T $, and the weighted centered matrix:
\begin{equation}
\chi_{k|k-1}^* = \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\left[ X_{1,k|k-1}^*-\hat{x}_{k|k-1} \cdots X_{m,k|k-1}^*-\hat{x}_{k|k-1})\right]
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\textbf{Measurement update}
\State Evaluate the cubature point (i=1,2,...,m)
\begin{equation}
X_{i,k|k-1} = \hat{x}_{k|k-1} + S_{k|k-1}\zeta_i
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Evaluate the propagated cubature point through the measurement equation
\begin{equation}
Y_{i,k|k-1} = h(X_{i,k|k-1})
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the predicted measurement
\begin{equation}
\hat{y}_{k|k-1} = \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m{Y_{i,k|k-1}}
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the square root of the innovation covariance matrix.
\begin{equation}
S_{yy,k|k-1} = Tria(YZ_{k|k-1} S_{R,k}])
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
Where $S_{R,k}$ denote the square root factor of $R_k$ such that $R_k = S_{R,k}S_{R,k}^T $ and the weighted centered matrix:
\begin{equation}
Y_{k|k-1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\left[ Y_{1,k|k-1}-\hat{y}_{k|k-1} \cdots Y_{m,k|k-1}-\hat{y}_{k|k-1})\right]
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the cross-covariance matrix
\begin{equation}
P_{xz,k|k-1} = \chi_{k|k-1}Y_{k|k-1}^T
\label{eq:Ref_3}
\end{equation}
Where the weighted, centered matrix $\chi_{k|k-1}$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
\chi_{k|k-1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\left[ X_{1,k|k-1}-\hat{x}_{k|k-1} \cdots X_{m,k|k-1}-\hat{x}_{k|k-1})\right]

\begin{equation}
\hat{x}_{k|k}=\hat{x}_{k|k-1}+K_k(y_k-\hat{y}_{k|k-1})
\label{eq:Ref_2}
\end{equation}
\State Estimate the square root factor of the corresponding error covariance.
\begin{equation}
S_{k|k} = Tria([\chi_{k|k-1} - K_k Y_{k|k-1}...K_k R_{R,k}]

Best Answer
Remove the
algorithmenvironment and make the caption into a section title. On the other hand, I don't think you really need analgorithmicenvironment for this.
