Guidance for contributors to JCCP 作者须知

As a bilingual Journal, JCCP invites submissions of original previously unpublished articles in English, Chinese or in both languages according to the following guidelines:

Bilingual:

• We very much encourage our contributors to submit articles in both English and Chinese versions.
• Articles can be submitted in either English or Chinese without translationIn in an extreme case. However, we ask authors to provide a one-page Summary of approximately 500 characters in Chinese (for articles written in English) and of 500 words in English for articles written in Chinese.
• A translation service can be provided at the contributor’s cost.

Articles and themes:

• Article submissions should be consistent with the aims of the Journal. Please read our statement of aims carefully before submitting.
• We also welcome proposals for whole issues of JCCP organised around a common theme. If accepted, the proposers of successful proposals for theme-based issues are invited to act as Guest Editors of the Journal. Note that each contribution to a specially edited themed issue will have to pass the normal reviewing process.

Book reviews:

• We compiled a list of more than 170 titles for review. The list can be accessed here:
• We also welcome reviews of books and other published related materials not on this list and of interest to readers of JCCP.
• If you would like to write a book review or a review essay please complete the Book(s) request form from JCCP website.  We can then arrange the book(s) to be posted to you at the address you specify in the online form.
• The ‘guidance for contributors’ presented in this document applies both to book reviews and review essays.

Reviewing procedures:

• All submitted articles are blind-read by two editors, who decide whether they are in principle suitable for publication in the Journal.
• If yes, the manuscript is then sent to an editor of the Editorial Board and at least two recommended assessors from the International Advisory Board for further review. The manuscript will then be returned to the contributor(s) with comments for revision and recommendations for final submission.
• The whole reviewing procedure should in normal circumstances take no longer than three months. We expect any required or recommended revisions to the submitted manuscript to be completed within four weeks. We reserve the right to decide whether the revisions have been sufficient to warrant publication.

Title page and affiliation:

The title page of the article should be separated from the main body and should include:
