General Principles
-
The Journal accepts a manuscript on the understanding that it represents original, unpublished work, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in MS Word format (.doc or .docx) to jcs1@hku.hk.
-
Research articles, after the initial screening by the editors, receive external peer reviews in line with a set of standardized evaluation criteria. Book reviews are subject to the editors’ screening and reviews. Once an article or a book review has been accepted for publication, the copyright shall reside with the Journal.
-
All manuscripts should include a title, abstract (maximum 250 words), and keywords (4 to 6, capitalize first letter of major words, use comma to separate words) in both English and Chinese, together with the author’s full name, title, institution name, and email address.
-
In general, a research article should not exceed 15,000 words, including the main text and footnotes. A book review is normally within 3,000 words, and there is no need to add the title, abstract, sub-headings, or footnotes.
-
Footnotes, not endnotes, should be used; they should be numbered consecutively throughout the work. Bibliography is required at the end of an article, primarily arranging the authors’ surnames in alphabetical order. See the examples listed in the webpage titled "STYLE SHEET (ENGLISH)" of this website for citation of references. Note that sources in Chinese or other non-English languages should be given English translations. Any article not following the format and style requirements will be returned to the author for correction.
-
Galley proofs will normally be sent to authors in .pdf format before publication. Corrections in proof should be kept to a minimum. These must be returned within two weeks of receipt by email. The editors will not proceed to publication without having received corrected proofs.
