Permissions

Authors are encouraged to submit original papers and review articles with comprehensive analysis of literatures, accurate simulation, detailed data, profound expounding and persuasive conclusions. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published (in print or electronic format) or be currently under consideration by another journal, that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as-tacitly or explicitly-by the responsible authorities at the institution where the work was carried out. Papers with results based on simulations are welcome, but those with clear links to laboratory or field measurements are preferred. These links may include calibration, benchmarking, or comparisons of results. Replication studies should include brief introduction and discussion sections that succinctly report the goal of the original paper, and the original paper should be the work of a different author or group of authors. Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the author(s). All papers will be reviewed by the Editorial Board composing of well-known experts and scholars and a group of professional peer-reviewers with concrete suggestions back to authors for revision before publication.
