1 . This page explains how to prepare your article for submission to any of our journals.
Note that length limits, article types and other journal specific information are available on the “Author information” page on each journal website.
The submitting author will be required to provide an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) via the online submission system. The benefits of registering an ORCID are outlined here. Provision of ORCIDs by co-authors is strongly encouraged, but not a must.
You are permitted to suggest suitably regular reviewers (审稿人), especially if you are from underrepresented groups, such as women, scientists with disabilities, early life researchers. However, we may choose to use other reviewers.
Editorial rules
Please carefully read our rule page before submitting and review our licensing and open access conditions. Papers submitted to our journals are normally peer reviewed in a single-blind fashion (author names are not hidden, but judge names are).
Unless you have selected for publication of peer review information for accepted papers, the review reports and other contact information relating to your paper should not be shared or made publicly available.
Formatting (编排格式) your article
In order to make submission as easy as possible for authors, we have introduced format-free first submission for the majority of our journals, apart from Biology Letters which requires a Word version upon first submission to enable accurate length calculation.
Once an article has been accepted for publication the main contribution must be submitted as an editable file, not a PDF, and the source files of any figures and tables must be provided.
