FAQ
1.How can authors submit or track the processing status of papers?
Authors have to register online and submit papers online. You can contact the editorial board when meeting any problems. Before submission, authors have to read the submission guidance on “submission guidance” page and register on “submit online” website, where you should set your “user name” and “password” and fill in your personal information. After that, please log in the submission system to submit your paper and recommend reviewers. To track your paper’s procession status, you need also log in this system.
2.Why I failed to register?
(1) Please make sure that your user name includes no special characters.
(2) Your email address must not be a used one in this system. Once it has already been used, it can’t be registered again.
3.Why I failed to log in?
If you cannot log in, maybe you have to pay attention to the following situations:
(1) A wrong user name or password. If so, the system will inform you, then please click “find the password”, but never register again.
(2) If it shows “login failure”, it is mainly due to the existence of the same user name in the system, which cannot be solved by the author. Then the editorial board needs to combine the user names. If this is your situation, please contact the editorial board in time for help. We’ll be on the prompt service.
4.How will the review process go?
The review process contains the preview of the editorial board, review process (1st, 2nd and 3rd review) by our reviewers and the final review of editorial board. How many review times a paper will go through depends on the review decisions and the revision of the paper.
