Author Guidelines

1.  Publication Scope

The journal publishes innovative, high-quality and scientifically significant research articles and brief reports, as well as reviews and informative articles that reflect the latest developments in the fields. Submissions must present clear viewpoints, supported with sufficient arguments and reliable data. A clear structure and a coherent language should be used throughout the article.

2. Requirements for Submissions

(1) Article title, author names (generally no more than 6 authors), author affiliations and postal codes, and keywords should be provided in both Chinese and English. If the study received funding or project support, the name and number of the fund must be included in both Chinese and English. When submitting your manuscript, please include the first author's name, gender, year of birth, title, and degree, and the corresponding author's name, title, phone, fax, and e-mail address.

(2) The title should accurately and concisely describe the content of the article without using abbreviations. The Chinese abstract should be between 200-300 words in length. The abstract should include the objective, methods, and results. The English abstract should be around 300-400 words (expanding on the content of the Chinese abstract) and briefly introduce the research background, content, and results.

The number of keywords should be between 3 and 8.

(3) The use of quantities, units, and symbols in the text should comply with international and national standards. Foreign names and terms in the text should be in English and not translated into Chinese.

(4) Figures, tables, and formulas should be numbered throughout the article, and captions for figures and tables should be provided in both Chinese and English. Tables should follow a three-line format, and the content should be presented in English.

(5) If the study involves human subjects, the authors must state in the manuscript that the study has been approved by the relevant ethics committee and provide the approval documents for review by the editorial office. In general, identifiable information about subjects should be avoided. If it is necessary for the research to include the identifiable information, informed consent must be obtained from the subjects (or their legal guardians).

(6) If the study involves animal experimentation, the authors must state the species and source of the animals in the manuscript, declare that the study has been approved by the appropriate ethics committee, and submit the approval documents to the editorial office for review.

(7) Data sharing is beneficial to the reproducibility of scientific research. This journal encourages authors to share research data, such as original data, observational records, experimental results, etc. Authors may also share the software, code, model, algorithm, and other materials used in the research. Authors may upload the shared data or materials to open storage platforms (such as the Science Data Bank) and provide links at the end of the paper.

(8) For specific manuscript formatting and style, please refer to recent issues of the journal.

3. Submission Agreement

(1) Manuscripts submitted must be original works that have not been published in any official domestic or international publications. Our journal strictly prohibits submitting an article to multiple journals at the same time, repeated submissions of identical content, and submitting the same content in different languages. Should any of the aforementioned practices be detected, the manuscript will be immediately rejected. Furthermore, the author's affiliated institution will be notified, as will other journals in the relevant academic field. Subsequent submissions from the offending author will not be considered for publication.

(2) After submission, the author will be notified of the results of the review within three months. During this period, the author may not submit the manuscript elsewhere. Some manuscripts may take longer to review. If the author decides to submit the manuscript to another journal or to withdraw the manuscript, please inform the editorial office before proceeding. If the editorial office decides to accept the manuscript, the author will be notified in a timely manner.

(3) During the manuscript revision process, if revisions are not completed within the stipulated 30-day timeframe, the editorial office will consider the date on which the revised manuscript is returned as the new submission date. If the revision period exceeds 30 days, the editorial office reserves the right to reject the manuscript.

(4) The author is responsible for the content of the manuscript. The editorial office has the right to make technical and textual changes to the manuscript, and content changes may be made with the author's consent.

(5) After acceptance of the manuscript, the author will be required to sign a "Copyright Transfer Agreement" to transfer copyright in the article to the editorial office of this journal (including copyright in the online version of the article). In addition, the author should complete and sign an "Authors' Declaration Form" to disclose potential conflicts of interest related to the research and each author's personal contribution to the research.

4. Fees

The fees that authors will be required to pay are as follows:

(1) A review fee of CNY 2000 per article should be paid after the manuscript passes the initial review. No fee is required if the manuscript does not pass the initial review.

(2) After a manuscript is accepted, the author will be required to pay a publication fee of CNY 3000 per page and an English abstract polishing fee of CNY 1000 per article.

After the article is published, the author will receive a remuneration and two copies of the current issue from the editorial office.
