Cover letter

Please prepare a cover letter along with your manuscript, that may describe the main innovations of the study, key results and significance, etc. Authors are required to disclose any essential information, such as the potential conflict of interest, preprint version ID if available, statement of non-submission to other journals, reproducibility of data, signatures of all authors approving the submission of the manuscript.

You are welcome to share a list of recommended or recused reviewers, and the journal office has the right to adopt it or not. Authors are encouraged to list their contributions to a research article, where there are more than two authors.

Article types

Please add an article type at the top of your text. In general, we publish the following types of articles: Article, Review, Editorial, Perspective, Case Report, Commentary, and Opinion (please check the details of each type at the bottom of this page). In case your article does not fall into any of the following types, please contact the editorial office of the journal to check whether your article type is acceptable.

Article structure

Usually, the main structure of a research article should include Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods and Materials, Result, and Conclusion.

A review article should include Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Section Description, and Conclusion.

Other types of articles usually have no regular structure requirements, but authors must state the type of the submission. Note that the submission must be written in English (referring to the Language Policy), whether American or British, while authors should be aware of the uniformity of the language style throughout the text.

Title: The title should summarize the main points of the article with a maximum of 50 words.

Author: Please provide a list of authorship according to the Authorship Policy. The names of authors must be spelled out rather than set in initials along with their affiliations (e.g., department, institution, city, state, postal code, and country). The main contributor should be listed as the first author, and corresponding authors should be identified with an asterisk. At least one corresponding author’s email should be listed for further communication. It is important that the submission has obtained the approval of all authors.

Abstract: The purpose of an abstract is to summarize the main research, methodology, and conclusions, and to guide readers to access the whole paper with interest. Ideally, abstracts should be no more than 300 words, but there are exceptions.

Keywords: Please avoid using the words in the title, and provide no more than 8 keywords.

Text: The length of the content is not quite rigorous, and it depends on the manuscript’s scientific quality.

The main structure & back matters

Figures and Tables

All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc. Figures and tables should be placed as close as possible to the text they refer to and be center-aligned. Photos, graphs, charts or diagram should be labeled as Figures (do not abbreviate), and assigned a number consecutively (e.g., Figure 1). Figure captions should appear underneath figures, and be center-aligned, with no additional blank line.

In cases where a caption needs to be extended over to the second line, the caption should be aligned left.

References

In-text Citations

List and number all bibliographical references that make an important contribution to the paper. When referenced in the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example: 

• Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3,4].
• This effect has been widely studied [1-5,7].

References

This section is compulsory and should be placed at the end of all manuscripts. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should be excluded from this section.
