Submission Guidelines

Visited:

Initial submission

All submissions should include a manuscript file and optional Supplementary Information files and should be made via ScholarOne online submission system. Using this system, authors can upload manuscript files (text, figures and Supplementary Information) and check on the status of their manuscript. A single file including all text, tables, figures and references in Word Format is preferred, although attachment of separate files in MS Word, text, jpeg, tiff or other commonly used file formats is acceptable.

If an acknowledgement by email is not received within 5 working days, please contact the Editorial Office via the email of each journal.

Please download Technology Manuscript Template.

Revised submissions

If editors or referees propose revision to the manuscript, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revising and the author will be notified by Email. After revising the manuscript and writing a detailed reply to the reviewers with a list of changes made to the manuscript, the corresponding author will log onto ScholarOne system to submit a revised manuscript. Please be careful not to submit the revised draft as a new submission.

The author should carefully read the format requirements in the manuscript template and modify it as required. This will reduce possibilities of publication delays in the event the editor decides to offer publication of a suitably revised manuscript.

Final proofread

All accepted papers are subject to editing to ensure readability and conformity to Technology style. Authors will receive page proofs of their papers by e-mail with a PDF file. Page proof corrections should be returned to the editorial office as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of receipt and preferably by e-mail, to avoid publication delays.

Permissions from other publications

If a table or figure has been published before, the authors must obtain written permission to reproduce the material in electronic format from the copyright owner and submit it with the manuscript. The original source should be cited in the figure caption or table footnote. Permission to reproduce material can usually be obtained through the Copyright Clearance Center（https://www.copyright.com/）.
