We welcome manuscripts from scholars and practitioners on related subjects. We strongly suggest authors to check the typesetting and the scope of the journal before submission.
Questions about paper submission, please contact: editor_tracy@sandermanpub.com

-Initial Checks
All submitted manuscripts received by the editorial office will be checked by a professional in-house managing editor to determine whether they are properly prepared and whether they follow the ethical policies of the journal. Manuscripts that do not fit the journal's publishing scope, ethical policy or basic standards will be rejected before peer-review. Manuscripts that are not properly prepared will be returned to authors for revision and resubmission. 
-Peer-Review
Once a manuscript passes the initial checks, it will be assigned to at least two independent experts for peer-review. A double-blind review is applied, where authors' identities are not known to reviewers and reviewers identities are not known to authors. 
-Appeal
The authors may make an appeal if they disagree with the comment of the reviewers. The authors need to write an appeal letter (with the manuscript serial number) and send it to corresponding journal editor. Detailed reasons for appealing must be stated, including a comprehensive and reasonable answer to the reviewers' comment. The editorial department will consider whether to change the decision case by case.
-Correction
If there appears to be an unintended scientific mistake in the article which would not lead to significant impacts on the results and conclusion, the editorial office will publish corrections in the journal as soon as possible, detailing the changes made to the original article and indicating the source of the article. The journal will release the corrected new version of the article, and specify the changes to the original article and the date of update. In addition, the superseded version will also be archived. Readers can obtain it directly, but only the latest version of the article should be used for citation.
-Retraction
In the following cases, the editorial office would retract published articles and issue retraction statements: a. If an article is found to have severe scientific errors making the results and conclusion of the article unreliable; b. For article suspected of academic misconduct, such as plagiarism and data falsification, the editorial office will initiate an investigation and issue a statement to inform readers of the risks associated with the article. Once the investigation is completed, the result will be made public. If the academic misconduct is confirmed, the article will be immediately retracted and a retraction statement will be issued by the editorial office.
