Authors must carefully read the Submission Guidelines of China Journal of Safety Science (hereinafter referred to as the Journal ) before submitting their manuscripts.
I. Submission Requirements
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the Presentation of Scientific and Technical Reports, Dissertations, and Scientific Papers(GB 7713—1987) and the Rules for the Preparation of Academic Papers(GB/T 7713.2—2022, effective from July 1, 2023).
(1) Manuscripts must clearly present the argument, be concise,and provide reliable data:
(i) Research papers must demonstrate innovation and substantial content.
(ii) Review articles should exhibit strong foresight and guidance, reflecting recent developments in the field.
(2) Length and Structure of Manuscripts:
(i) The manuscript should not exceed 7–8 pages of A4 paper (including figures, tables, and references).
(ii) The manuscript must include an English translation of the title, the authors' names in Pinyin, and the English name of the authors' institution. Additionally, provide 5–8 keywords in both Chinese and English, a Chinese abstract of approximately 400 characters, and an English abstract of about 300 words (written in the third person). At least 10 references must be included.
(iii) The abstract should be an independent summary, containing key information equivalent to the paper, generally including four elements: purpose, methods, results, and conclusions.
(3) Manuscript Formatting Requirements:
(i) Clearly indicate the script type (numerals, Greek, English, Roman), case, superscript/subscript, and the meaning of subscript/superscript letters in the text and formulas. Vectors and matrices should be marked in bold italics.
(ii) Clearly annotate text, variables, units, and numerals in figures and tables.
(iii) Figures, tables, and photographs must include Chinese and English captions or brief descriptions, along with the physical quantity and its unit.
(iv) Submitted manuscripts must include high-quality photographs and graphs (preferably created using Origin and then copied into the document).
(4) References:
References should primarily consist of recently published literature, cited in the text and listed in the order of citation. The reference list at the end of the manuscript must follow Information and Documentation—Rules for Bibliographic References and Citations to Information Resources (GB/T 7714—2015, replacing GB/T 7714—2005).
(5) Academic Ethics:

(iii) The order of authorship must be undisputed; honorary authorship is strictly prohibited.
(iv) Authors are responsible for their work. Violations will result in rejection. If already published, the manuscript will be retracted from relevant platforms, the author’s institution will be notified for disciplinary action, and the case will be publicized on the Journal’s website and reported to peer journals in the safety science field. The Journal will reject all future submissions from the author as the primary contributor.
