Frequently Asked Questions

How do I submit a manuscript to your journal?

Submitting to our journal is straightforward. Visit the page of the journal you're interested in, click on the "Submission Guidelines" link, and follow the instructions. All submissions must be made through our online system, where you'll need to create an account and upload your manuscript and all necessary supplementary materials according to the system prompts.

How long does it take to get a response after submission?

We typically send an email confirming receipt of your submission within 1-2 business days. Initial editorial review is usually completed within 2 weeks, and if the manuscript progresses to peer review, the entire review process typically takes 6-8 weeks. We strive to provide efficient review processes while ensuring academic quality and rigor.

Are your journals open access? Do I need to pay to publish?

Yes, all of our journals are fully open access, meaning readers can freely and unrestricted access all published content. Authors are required to pay article processing charges (APC) upon acceptance of their manuscript. Specific fees vary by journal, and you can find detailed information on each journal's webpage. We also offer fee waivers for authors from low-income countries.

How can I become a reviewer for your journal?

We welcome experts in your field to join our reviewer team. If you're interested in becoming a reviewer, please send an email to our editorial office (editorial@atlantic-press.com) with your resume and research specialty description. Our editorial team will evaluate your qualifications and invite you to participate in manuscript review when suitable.

Are your journals indexed in major academic databases?

Most of our journals are indexed in leading academic databases and indexing systems, including CNKI, DOI, Google Scholar, etc. Specific indexing details vary by journal. Each journal's webpage lists the specific databases and indexing systems in which the journal is indexed. We continuously strive to expand the international visibility and impact of our journals.
