General Editorial Procedure

Authors are requested to submit their articles electronically by using the following website:

https://journal.hep.com.cn/fde/

This journal has adopted a double-blind reviewing policy, meaning both the referees and author(s) remain anonymous throughout the process. Authors are therefore requested to submit two documents—a title page and a blinded manuscript—at the same time of their submission. The detailed requirements for these two documents can be found in the section of Submission (see below)."

Ethical issues

Authors submitting to the journal should not simultaneously submit the manuscript to another journal, nor should the manuscript have been published elsewhere in a substantially similar form or with substantially similar content.

In signing the statement it is assumed that author(s) have obtained permission to use any copyrighted or previously published material. Authors shall agree to the conditions outlined in the statement, and co-authors must sign a Power of Attorney commissioned to the first author. Articles cannot be published until a signed Copyright Transfer Statement and/or a Power of Attorney (if any) is received by the publisher.

Text formatting

The submitted documents must be typed on a standard 8""×11"" (21.0×27.9 cm, size A4) white paper with 1"" margins (2.54 cm) on all sides. Please use 12-point Times New Roman for the text and the lines should be double-spaced.
