Formatting Guidelines

In the review process, we focus on the quality of the content rather than the correctness of the format. However, in order to save the lengthy proofreading process between the editorial team and the authors, it is strongly recommended that the author submits according to the format of this journal.

Once a manuscript is accepted, the journal will edit and proofread it in accordance with its rules and communicate with the author to make corrections.

Submission Format

All manuscripts must include a cover page and the main text.

Cover Page

The cover page should provide the following information:

  • Article Title
    The title should be concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae unless they are widely recognized (e.g., ESG or FDI).
  • Author Names
    Provide the given name(s) and family name(s) of all authors.
  • Affiliations
    List the institutional affiliation(s) and address(es) of the authors, indicating where the work was conducted. Affiliations should appear below the author names.
  • Corresponding Author
    Clearly indicate the corresponding author, who will manage all correspondence during the review process, publication process, and after publication. The corresponding author is responsible for responding to inquiries regarding the study’s data, methodology, materials, and results. Please ensure that the email address and contact information of the corresponding author are accurate and kept up to date throughout the submission and publication process.

Main text

The text structure should be clear and easy to read. Any content or information that may convey the author’s message should be removed. Figures, tables, and equations should be numbered by order. Strikethrough and underlined text should be deleted from the manuscript.
We ask corresponding author to provide editable source files for the entire submission (including figures, tables and text graphics) when submission is accepted.

Reference and Note

The manuscript should follow the formatting guidelines of the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 7th edition.
