Author contributions

Sin-Chn Scientific Press asks authors to comply with the authorship policy before submitting a manuscript, and requests all the authors in a research article to declare their specific contributions if there are more than one author. The declaration of authors’ contributions is not mandatory in other types of articles.

Those do not act as the authorship but do support this study should be credited in the Acknowledgments section.

 

 

Funding

Journals in the publisher encourage authors to declare grant funding, e.g., name of fund, number, funder, project duration, etc.

 

 

Conflict of interest

All the publications must declare potential conflicts of interest, including funding or relationship among the editors, authors, and reviewers.

 

 

Production

Manuscripts accepted by the journal will be produced by type-setting editors. Authors and editors must do their best to minimize errors in the article. Authors are required to proofread the galley. Galleys that have been proofread by both authors and editors will undergo final review by the Editor-in-Chief. Only after the final review will the article be posted on the journal website.

Errors are inevitable. Please refer to the Correction, Retraction and Withdrawal policy for some situations.

 

 

Appeal and complaint

Authors should reply a report with point-by-point details of explanation, or appeal against a rejection by e-mail to the Editorial Office within 30 days. The Editor-in-Chief will organize a team of experts to hold an academic debate, and the final decision will be validated by the Editor-in-Chief at this stage.

Any appeal or complaint against unethical issues before or post publication is welcome to reach out to the Editorial Office. The Editor-in-Chief will investigate these allegations regardless of whether the article is at the editorial decision stage or the processing stage.

 

Article

It is very common, and suitable for kinds of fields and different types of studies based on original research. Generally, it includes full introduction, methods, results, discussion, etc. These articles are usually long with more than 6,000 words.

Review

A review could also be called a review of literature. It is a survey of previously published research on a topic. It should put forward an overview of current thinking on this topic.

Opinion

Opinion articles are a reflection of the author(s)' insights on a particular topic. In these pieces, the author offers an analysis that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the subject under discussion. While an opinion article shares some structural similarities with a commentary, it is more succinct and sharply directed towards presenting the author's point of view.

Brief Report

A brief report usually reports preliminary results or a short complete study. It may be interesting to many researchers, and even could stimulate further exploration in this field. This type of articles is usually short with results which are time sensitive, especially in those quickly-changing disciplines.

Commentary

These articles typically begin with an analysis of published works, such as articles, books, and reports, to highlight aspects that are pertinent to the field of study. They often serve to critique or draw attention to specific topics within the literature. It's important to note that critical essays do not present new empirical data; instead, they rely on the author's insights, opinions, or personal experiences to substantiate their arguments.
