本刊的編輯政策以服務學術社群為本,每篇來稿皆以高效與專業的編審流程進行處理:
- 作者需於線上投稿系統提交稿件。
- 編輯部收到稿件後會先作初審,通常一個月內做出初審決定。
- 如果稿件不符合本刊範疇或稿件質量未達本刊要求,將於初審階段做內審退稿處理。
- 如果稿件符合本刊範疇且稿件質量達到本刊要求,將由主編指定責任編輯,由責任編輯提名兩名或以上外審委員進行匿名評審。
- 如評審委員提出修改意見,本刊會把審查意見寄回,請作者參考修改後,將修改稿連同修改說明再次提交至投稿系統。
- 如果兩位評審委員意見相左,本刊會安排第三位評審委員或由責任編輯參與評審決定。
- 如果責任編輯做出修改後再審決定,作者需在合理的時間內提交修改稿以及對評審意見的逐點回覆。責任編輯收到修改後的稿件將對其再次審核,以決定修改稿的質量是否可進入第二輪外審。
- 在第二輪及其後的外審中,外審評委將依據上述流程再次評審。通常情況下,一篇稿件在被接受以前至少會經歷兩輪外審評委的評審。
The journal’s editorial policies are designed to serve the academic community. Each submission is handled through a rigorous, efficient, and professional editorial and review process:
- Authors must submit their manuscripts through the online submission system.
- Editorial Office will make an initial vetting editorial decision within one month of receiving a manuscript.
- If a manuscript falls outside the journal’s scope or does not meet the journal’s quality standards, it will be desk-rejected at the initial vetting stage.
- If a manuscript is within the journal’s scope and meets the journal’s quality requirements, the Editor-in-Chief will assign an Editor, who will take charge of this manuscript and nominate two or more external reviewers for double-blind peer review.
- If external reviewers ask authors to revise and resubmit, authors must submit the revised manuscripts and responses to reviewers through the submission portal.
- If two external reviewers hold opposite opinions, the editorial office will invite a third reviewer or the Editor who takes charge of this manuscript will make a decision by reviewing the submission.
- If the Editor makes a revise-and-resubmit decision, the author will submit the revised manuscript and a point-by-point response to reviewers within a reasonable time. After receiving the revised manuscript, the Editor will review it to decide whether it is qualified to be sent for a second round of review.
- In the second round and in subsequent review stages, external peer review is carried out using the same approach. Typically, a manuscript goes through at least two rounds of external review before it is accepted.
