Guide for Authors

Editorial Policy

1.      The journal implements a three-round review system. Upon successful submission, the editorial office will first conduct a preliminary review. Manuscripts that lack sufficient originality, contain serious scientific flaws, provide no valuable information, or fall outside the journal's scope will be rejected.

2.      Manuscripts that pass the initial review will proceed to peer review. The journal engages many well-known experts across the country to implement a strict single-blind peer review. Each manuscript is sent to three experts in the same field who hold an associate senior professional title or above.

3.      Authors must respond to each of the reviewers' comments point by point and submit a revised version of the manuscript. If the revised manuscript is not returned within the specified time, it will be considered automatically withdrawn. The revised manuscript undergoes a final review by the Editor-in-Chief, who makes the final decision on its acceptance.

4.      Manuscripts submitted by editorial board members and editors must also strictly adhere to the entire review procedures of the journal. The review of these manuscripts will be conducted independently from the editorial board members, editors, and their research teams. Editorial board members and editors must avoid participating in the review of manuscripts authored by individuals with whom they have competition, collaboration, or other conflicts of interest.

5.      The review process for supplementary issues, special issues and special columns follows the same procedure as the regular articles, including identical review and editorial processes, with the Editor-in-Chief making the final acceptance decision. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the content of the entire journal. The journal may invite authoritative experts in the field to serve as Guest Editors, responsible for selecting topic, inviting contribution, and taking peer review under the supervision of the Editor-in-Chief to ensure fairness in the review process.

Authors who disagree with editorial or peer review decisions may submit an appeal. The author must prepare a written request indicating the manuscript number and providing detailed reasons for the appeal, and it must be stamped by the author’s affiliated institution to be valid. The editorial office will decide whether to accept the appeal based on the specific circumstances. If authors experience any unfair treatment during the submission and review process, or encounter situations in which journal staff clearly violate publication ethics, they may submit complaints or suggestions via email to the journal. Upon receipt, the editorial office will handle the matter promptly and provide feedback as appropriate. The journal encourages readers and authors to mutually supervise and actively provide relevant information to help foster a positive academic environment. Appeals, complaints, and suggestions should be sent to the journal’s email: editor@jeesci.com
