• Editorial Process
  

  A manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that it is being submitted to Chinese Journal of Emergency and Critical Nursing alone at that point in time and has not been published anywhere, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. The journal expects that authors would authorize one of them to correspond with Chinese Journal of Emergency and Critical Nursing for all matters related to the manuscript.

  On submission, full-time editors review all submitted manuscripts initially for suitability for formal review. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific or technical flaws, or lack of a significant message are rejected before proceeding to formal peer-review. Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the journal readers are also liable to be rejected at this stage.

  Manuscripts that are found suitable for publication in Chinese Journal of Emergency and Critical Nursing are sent to two or more expert reviewers. The reviewers should not be affiliated with the same institutes as the contributor/s. The selection of these reviewers is at the sole discretion of full-time editors. The journal follows a double-blind review process, wherein the reviewers and authors are unaware of each other’s identity. The journal holds a meeting monthly in or outside Beijing to make a final decision on whether or not to publish a manuscript, with the editor-in-chief and editorial board members of the journal as attendees. The comments and suggestions (acceptance/rejection/revision in manuscript) received from reviewers are conveyed to the corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a point-by-point response to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript. This process is repeated till reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.

  Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy edited by full-time editors in the editorial office. Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs within seven days. The whole process of manuscript submission to final decision and sending proofs is completed online.
