Before uploadingReplace all instructional placeholders. Keep the title page separate from the anonymous manuscript and remove identifying comments and document metadata from the review file. Research abstracts should contain 200–300 English words and 4–6 keywords. For LaTeX manuscripts, provide an anonymous compiled PDF and the required sources in a separate archive.
Interface language and manuscript languageUse English or 简体中文 in the page header to change the operation interface. The journal accepts English-language manuscripts; switching the interface does not translate the manuscript title, abstract or uploaded files.
Complete the final stepSaving a draft is not the same as submitting. Check the final summary and choose Submit. Return to the same submission record for revisions, rather than creating a duplicate.
