Submission Guidelines

【官网信息】

Submit online

Please

visit life.scichina.com, click “Submission & Review”, and use

ScholarOne Manuscript System to submit a manuscript. For a new user,

please create an account and submit a manuscript following the guidance.

Authors

should also submit such accompanying materials as a short statement on

the research background, area/subarea and significance of the work, a

brief introduction to the first and corresponding authors including

their mailing addresses, post codes, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and

email addresses. Authors may suggest several referees (please supply

full names, addresses, phone numbers, fax and emails), and/or request

the exclusion of specific reviewers.

Ethical responsibilities of authors

This

journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific

record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the

journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential

acts of misconduct.

Authors

should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage

the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor.

Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be

achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice, which

includes:

·The manuscript has not been submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.

·The

manuscript has not been published previously (partly or in full),

unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work (please

provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of

text-recycling (“self-plagiarism”)).

·A

single study is not split up into several parts to increase the

quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one

journal over time (e.g., “salami-publishing”).

·No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support your conclusions

·No

data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the

authors own (“plagiarism”). Proper acknowledgements to other works must

be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim),

summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim

copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is

copyrighted.

·Important note: the journal may use software to screen for plagiarism.

·Consent

to submit has been received from all co-authors and responsible

authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been

carried out before the work is submitted.

·Authors

whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to

the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and

accountability for the results.

In addition:

·Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript.

·Requests

to add or delete authors at revision stage or after publication is a

serious matter, and may be considered only after receipt of written

approval from all authors and detailed explanation about the

role/deletion of the new/deleted author. The decision on accepting the

change rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

·Upon

request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or

data in order to verify the validity of the results. This could be in

the form of raw data, samples, records, etc.

If there is a suspicion of misconduct, the journal will carry out an investigation following the COPE guidelines.  If,

after investigation, the allegation seems to raise valid concerns, the

accused author will be contacted and given an opportunity to address the

issue. If misconduct has been proven, this may result in the

Editor-in-Chief’s implementation of the following measures, including,

but not limited to:

·If the article is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.

·If

the article has already been published online, depending on the nature

and severity of the infraction, either an erratum will be placed with

the article or in severe cases complete retraction of the article will

occur. The reason must be given in the published erratum or retraction

note.

·The author’s institution may be informed.

Copyright

A

completed form assigning copyright to Science China Press must be

returned to the editorial office when the paper is accepted for

publication. The copyright covers the exclusive right to reproduce and

distribute the article (in various languages), including reprints,

translations, photographic reproductions, microform, electronic form

(offline, online) or other reproductions of similar nature. The

Copyright Transfer Statement is available at www.life.scichina.com.

Authorship

Authorship

should be limited to those who have contributed substantially to the

work. Submission of a manuscript is taken to imply that all the named

authors are aware that they are listed as co-authors, and they have seen

and agreed to the submitted version. The corresponding author is the

one who should take the major responsibility to ensure that the

submitted manuscripts are properly prepared in all aspects.

Disclosure of potential conflict of interests

Authors

must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or

bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts,

disclosure of relationships and interests affords a more transparent

process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work.

Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interests is a perspective

to which the readers are entitled and is not meant to imply that a

financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research

or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate. Examples of

potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related

to the research may include but are not limited to the following:

·Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)

·Honoraria for speaking at symposia

·Financial support for attending symposia

·Financial support for educational programs

·Employment or consultation

·Support from a project sponsor

·Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships

·Multiple affiliations

·Financial relationships, for example equity ownership or investment interest

·Intellectual property rights (e.g., patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)

·Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work

In

addition, interests that go beyond financial interests and compensation

(non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be

disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal

relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this

research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may

influence your research.

The

corresponding author will include a summary statement in the text of

the manuscript in a separate section before the acknowledgements.

See below examples of disclosures:

Funding: This study was funded by X (grant number X).

Conflict

of Interest: Author A has received research grants from Company A.

Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock

in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z.

If no conflict exists, the authors should state:

Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.

Informed consent

All

individuals have individual rights that are not to be infringed.

Individual participants in studies e.g. have the right to decide what

happens to the (identifiable) personal data gathered and to what they

have said e.g. during a study or an interview as well as to any

photograph that was taken. Hence it is important that all participants

gave their informed consent in writing prior to inclusion in the study.

Identifying details (names, dates of birth, identity numbers and other

information) of the participants that were studied should not be

published in written descriptions, photographs, and genetic profiles

unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the

participant (or parent or guardian if the participant is incapable) has

given written informed consent for publication. Complete anonymity is

difficult to achieve in some cases, and informed consent should be

obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in

photographs of participants is inadequate protection of anonymity. If

identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in

genetic profiles, authors should provide assurance that alterations do

not distort scientific meaning.

The following statement should be included:

Informed consent: “Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.”

If identifying information about participants is available in the article, the following statement should be included:

“Additional

informed consent was obtained from all individual participants for whom

identifying information is included in this article.”

Statement of Human and Animal Rights

When

reporting studies that involve human participants, authors should

include a statement that the studies have been approved by the

appropriate institutional and/or national research ethics committee and

have been performed in accordance with the ethical standards as laid

down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments or

comparable ethical standards.

If

doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the

1964 Helsinki Declaration or comparable standards, the authors must

explain the reasons for their approach, and demonstrate that the

independent ethics committee or institutional review board explicitly

approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

The following statements should be included in the text before the References section:

Ethical

approval: “All procedures performed in studies involving human

participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the

institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964

Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical

standards.”

The

welfare of animals used for research must be respected. When reporting

experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the

institutional and/or national guidelines for the care and use of animals

were followed.

For studies with animals, the following statement should be included:

“All applicable institutional and/or national guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed.”

If

articles do not contain studies with human participants or animals by

any of the authors, Springer recommends including the following

sentence:

“This article does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors.”

For retrospective studies, please add the following sentence:

“For this type of study formal consent is not required.”
