1.Review Policy: The journal follows a double-blind review process. After submission, the editorial office will conduct a preliminary review of the manuscript. The editorial office will reject the manuscripts which are insufficient in originality, having serious scientific or technical mistakes, lacking valuable information, or not in the scope of the journal. The manuscripts which have passed the preliminary review will be anonymously sent to two or more reviewers. The reviewers’ comment and decision (accept / reject / modify) will be passed onto the corresponding author. The authors must respond to the reviewers' every comment and submit the revised version in time. This process would be repeated until the reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.

2.Editing: All authors shall be responsible for their own writing. For accepted manuscripts, the journal may make some technical or wording amendments. However, if the amendment involves a change of meaning, the editorial office will contact the authors for confirmation.

3.Timing: The duration of peer review generally does not exceed two months. The authors must contact the editorial office in advance if they want to submit the manuscript to another journal during the review period. Otherwise, it will be regarded as multiple submission. If the revised manuscript is not received in 20 days, it would be regarded as a withdrawal.

4.Submission by Editors: The editorial staff / editors / editorial board members should not be involved in publishing decisions on papers which they have written themselves or have been written by their family members or colleagues. Any such submission should be strictly subject to the journal’s usual editorial process. Peer review should be handled independently from the relevant author/editor and their research groups.

5. Appeal: If authors have objections against the review comments, they can file an appeal. Authors should write an "Appeal Letter" stating the manuscript serial number and send it to the journal's email at scjsws@163.com. The letter needs to provide detailed reasons for the appeal, including a comprehensive and reasonable explanation responding to the review comments, and it must be stamped by the author's institution for validation. The editorial department will decide whether to accept the appeal as appropriate.

6. Post-publication Discussions: We warmly welcome authors and readers to participate in discussions on our published articles. Comments can be sent to the journal's email at scjsws@163.com. The editorial department will handle them promptly and provide feedback as necessary. Furthermore, the journal actively encourages readers and authors to engage in mutual supervision and offer feedback on pertinent information, aiming to cultivate a vibrant and positive academic environment.
