In order for an article to be accepted for publication, the assigned editor will first consider if the manuscript meets the minimum editorial standards and fits within the scope of the journal. If an article is considered suitable for the journal, the editor will ideally solicit at least two external peer reviewers (who will remain anonymous to the authors unless they choose to disclose their identity by signing the review report) to assess the article before confirming a decision to accept. Decisions to reject are at the discretion of the editor.
为了让一篇文章被接受发表，指定的编辑将首先考虑稿件是否符合最低编辑标准并符合期刊的范围。如果一篇文章被认为适合该期刊，理想情况下，编辑将征求至少两名外部同行评审员（除非他们选择通过签署审稿报告来披露自己的身份，否则他们将对作者保持匿名）来评估该文章，然后再确认接受决定。拒绝的决定由编辑自行决定。
Our research integrity team will occasionally seek advice outside standard peer review, for example, on submissions with serious ethical, security, biosecurity, or societal implications. We may consult experts and the editor before deciding on appropriate actions, including but not limited to: recruiting reviewers with specific expertise, assessment by additional editors, and declining to further consider a submission.
我们的研究诚信团队偶尔会在标准同行评审之外寻求建议，例如，关于具有严重道德、安全、生物安全或社会影响的提交。在决定采取适当行动之前，我们可能会咨询专家和编辑，包括但不限于：聘请具有特定专业知识的审稿人，由其他编辑进行评估，以及拒绝进一步考虑投稿。
Special Issues 所属专题
Special Issues are subject to extensive review, during which journal Editors or Editorial Board input is solicited for each proposal. Our approval process includes an assessment of the rationale and scope of the proposed topic(s), and the expertise of Guest Editors, if any are involved. Special Issue articles must follow the same policies as described in the journal's Author Guidelines.
特刊需要经过广泛的审查，在此期间，每个提案都会征求期刊编辑或编辑委员会的意见。我们的审批流程包括对拟议主题的基本原理和范围的评估，以及客座编辑的专业知识（如果涉及）。特刊文章必须遵循与期刊作者指南中描述的相同政策。
Editor/Editorial Board papers
编委论文
Papers authored by Editors or Editorial Board members of the title are sent to Editors that are unaffiliated with the author or institution and monitored carefully to ensure there is no peer review bias.
由该标题的编辑或编委会成员撰写的论文将发送给与作者或机构无关的编辑，并受到仔细监控，以确保没有同行评审偏见。
Concurrent submissions 并发提交
In order to ensure sufficient diversity within the authorship of the journal, authors will be limited to having three manuscripts under review at any point in time. If an author already has three manuscripts under review in the journal, they will need to wait until the review process of at least one of these manuscripts is complete before submitting another manuscript for consideration. This policy does not apply to editorials or other non-peer-reviewed manuscript types.
为了确保期刊作者的充分多样性，作者在任何时间点都只能有三份稿件接受审查。如果作者已经有三篇稿件在期刊上被审稿，他们需要等到其中至少一篇稿件的审稿过程完成后，才能提交另一份稿件以供考虑。本政策不适用于社论或其他未经同行评审的稿件类型。
Article processing charges
物品加工费
The journal is open access. Article processing charges (APCs) allow the publisher to make articles immediately available online to anyone to read and reuse upon publication.
该期刊是开放获取的。文章处理费 （APC） 允许出版商立即在线提供文章，供任何人在出版后阅读和重复使用。
Preprints 预印本
The journal accepts articles previously published on preprint servers, and does not consider this to compromise the novelty of the results. Articles based on content previously made public only on a preprint server, institutional repository, or in a thesis will be considered. The preprint should be cited.
该杂志接受以前在预印本服务器上发表的文章，并且不认为这会损害结果的新颖性。基于以前仅在预印本服务器、机构存储库或论文中公开的内容的文章将被考虑。应引用预印本。
Clinical Trials 临床试验
When publishing clinical trials, the journal aims to comply with the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) on trial registration. Therefore, authors are requested to register the clinical trial presented in the manuscript in a public trial registry and include the trial registration number at the end of the abstract. Trials should be registered prospectively before patient recruitment has begun. Where this has not happened, the study must be registered retrospectively, and the date of registration should be clearly stated in the manuscript.
在发表临床试验时，该杂志旨在遵守国际医学期刊编辑委员会（ICMJE）关于试验注册的建议。因此，要求作者在公开试验注册处注册手稿中呈现的临床试验，并在摘要末尾注明试验注册号。在开始招募患者之前，应前瞻性地注册试验。如果没有发生这种情况，则必须对研究进行追溯性注册，并在手稿中明确说明注册日期。
Preregistration of studies
研究预注册
Authors are encouraged to indicate whether the conducted research was preregistered in an independent, institutional registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, AEA RCT Registry, OSF, Registry – EGAP, RIDIE). Preregistration of studies involves registering the study design, variables, and treatment conditions prior to conducting the research.
鼓励作者说明所进行的研究是否在独立的机构注册处（例如，http://clinicaltrials.gov/、https://www.socialscienceregistry.org/、http://osf.io/、https://egap.org/registry/、http://ridie.3ieimpact.org/）中预先注册。研究的预注册涉及在进行研究之前注册研究设计、变量和治疗条件。
Preregistration of analysis plans
分析计划预注册
Authors are encouraged to indicate whether or not the conducted research was preregistered with an analysis plan in an independent, institutional registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, AEA RCT Registry, OSF, Registry – EGAP, RIDIE). Preregistration of studies involves registering the study design, variables, and treatment conditions. Including an analysis plan involves specification of sequence of analyses or the statistical model that will be reported.
鼓励作者说明所进行的研究是否在独立的机构登记处（例如，http://clinicaltrials.gov/、https://www.socialscienceregistry.org/、http://osf.io/、https://egap.org/registry/、http://ridie.3ieimpact.org/）中预先注册了分析计划。研究的预注册涉及注册研究设计、变量和治疗条件。包括分析计划涉及分析顺序的规范或将要报告的统计模型。
