Supervised by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), Strategic Study of CAE (SSCAE) is an academic journal jointly sponsored by the CAE Center for Strategic Studies and Higher Education Press Co., Ltd. It mainly publishes key achievements in strategic research projects of the engineering field and aims to provide a reference for scientific decision-making by the government and to encourage academic achievements.
SSCAE is a Chinese journal, published bi-monthly. All articles published in this journal can be accessed for free on this website.
Manuscripts that pass the review of peer experts and the editorial department are initially published on this platform and that of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), prior to print publication in the journal.
The authors of original research papers must describe their research work accurately and provide an objective discussion of the significance of their research work. The data that underpin research conclusions must be as accurate as possible. The manuscript must contain sufficient details and reference data to facilitate the reproduction of research work. Unethical behavior (e.g., fraudulent and deliberately inaccurate statements) is not acceptable.
When submitting a manuscript, authors are required to complete, sign, and submit the "Letter of Authorization for Publication" and "Confirmation Form for Manuscript" (see templates at the end of this page).
SSCAE implements a strict academic review system and requires a duplicate checking rate lower than 15%. If the manuscript is found to have serious plagiarism, it will be rejected directly.
All peer-reviewed manuscripts must be further reviewed by the editor-in-chief meeting, prior to acceptance. The editor-in-chief makes the final decision on whether to accept the manuscript based on the viewpoints of the peer experts and editors. The production editor then informs the author of the final decision with detailed reasons.
All authors must disclose any existing or potential conflicts of interest associated with them, namely, any financial, personal or relational conflicts of interest with other individuals or organizations within three years subsequent to the submission of their articles. These conflicts of interest may unfavorably affect or be considered to affect publication of their articles.
You need to expressly state who provides financial support for your research work and/or article writing, and briefly describe the role that the sponsors (if available) played in the process of research design, data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, report writing, and decision-making of article publishing.
Only individuals that satisfy the following three criteria are recognized as authors: the named author should have (1) retained or shared the responsibility of research design, data collection, and data analysis and interpretation; (2) drafted the manuscript or provided substantial modifications to its core content; (3) determined or agreed on its final version to be published. Given these criteria, individuals that only provide funding, data, or general guidance to the research team are not recognized as the authors of said research. All individuals recognized as authors should meet the authorship qualification requirements, and all individuals that meet the authorship qualification requirements should be clearly listed as the authors. Each author should thus have fully participated in the research and taken visible responsibility in developing the content.
Changes in the list of authors include adding, deleting, and rearranging the names of authors of an accepted manuscript. Before an accepted manuscript is published through an online special issue, an application for the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names must be sent by corresponding authors to the person responsible at the journal's end, and must contain the following contents: (1) reasons for addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names; and (2) written confirmation concerning the consent of the modification by all authors (by email, fax, or letter). Authors whose names are added or deleted must send written confirmation. An application sent by persons other than corresponding authors must be forwarded to corresponding authors via the person responsible at the journal's end, after which the corresponding authors must perform the aforementioned steps to mail the application to the journal.
Note: (1) The responsible person of the journal will forward the application to journal editors; and (2) before a consensus on authorship is reached, the publication of the manuscript will be suspended. After an accepted manuscript is published in an online special issue, an application for the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names should be governed by the aforementioned policy, and the modifications should be displayed separately in a corrigendum.
