5) For manuscripts recommended by experts, please indicate the name and relevant contact information of the expert in the submission.
6) Authors must ensure their manuscripts do not contain political errors or disclose state secrets, technical secrets, or commercial secrets (articles involving confidentiality must have a confidentiality review certificate issued by the institution). Authors will bear responsibility for any such issues.
7) This journal is included in the "China National Knowledge Infrastructure" (CNKI) database. Articles published in this journal are included in this database, and no additional remuneration is provided.

Please provide contact details, including telephone number and email address, on the manuscript for timely communication.
9) Disorganized formatting can negatively affect the reviewers' impression of the manuscript and reduce the acceptance rate. To improve the acceptance rate and enhance the efficiency of expert review, please format your submission according to the template file available in the download center.
10) Data sharing benefits the replication of scientific research. The journal encourages authors to share research data, such as raw data, observation records, and experimental results. Authors can also share software, codes, models, and algorithms used in their research. Authors can upload shared data or materials to open storage platforms (e.g., Scientific Data Bank) and provide the link at the end of the article.
11) The journal charges review fee and APCs. Review fee: 500 RMB per manuscript. APCs: for up to 8 pages, 5,000 RMB; for more than 8 pages, an additional 500 RMB per page, with a maximum of 8,000 RMB.
