Guide for Authors

1. Editors should treat each manuscript objectively. The academic and application values without regard to race, religious belief, gender, qualification, and job title of the authors must always support decisions. Editors may review a paper’s research relevance and readability, and may make decisions regarding authors’ records of unethical behavior.

2. Editors shall select reviewers to review papers from professional perspectives. If a study reported does not meet with the aim and scope of the journal, editors have the right to reject the article without peer review.

3. Except where necessary editors need to seek experts’ opinion, editors must not share the information about the paper with anyone, and use the unpublished information, argument and interpretation disclosed in a submitted paper in editors’ own research.

4. Editors should respect authors’ exploration and innovation sprit in research work and encourage diverse thinking. Editors should encourage authors to express academic views that differ from the existing theories and views, and should especially respect authors’ research findings that differ from those in the published articles and the editors’ own research.

5. Editors are not encouraged to submit manuscript that he/she wrote him/herself to the journal that the editor is involved in. Any such submission must be reviewed independently of the relevant editor in avoiding conflicts of interest.

6. Editors should handle the submitted manuscripts in a proper time limit and timely decide which of them should be published. The time of submission should be taken into account when editors arrange the table of content of an issue. Editors may publish some articles and the invited articles in advance based on the column types, topic selection, and topic hotness.

7. Editors should remind the authors to appropriately cite the relevant publications comprehensively. Editors should remind authors that the information obtained privately may only be used with explicit written permission of the owners. Editors should remind authors of the potential conflicts of interest, including breach of confidence of the country and the relevant institutes, and infringement of legitimate rights and interests of others.
