To ensure a smooth submission and review process, please carefully follow the guidelines below.

1. Submission Process

All manuscripts must be submitted through the journal’s online submission system. The system allows authors to create an account, upload their manuscripts, and track the progress of their submission. To access the submission portal, visit https://submit.jospl.org.

2. Manuscript Categories

• • Special Theme Articles: Each issue will include a featured theme section grouping several articles under a chosen topic.

3. Word Limit

Manuscripts on average should not exceed 15,000 words (about 30 pages single-spaced), including the main text, footnotes, and references. Appendices, tables, and figures may be excluded from the word count but should be essential for research argument purposes.

4. Manuscript Preparation

4.1 General Format

• • Use Times New Roman, 12-point font size (11-point for block quotes), and doublespacing throughout the text.
• • Margins should be set to 1 inch on all sides.
• • Footnotes should be used instead of endnotes.
• • Provide the original text for all quoted passages in non-Latin scripts.
  Romanization—at first occurrence together with original script—is required for proper names, titles, and terms used within the English texts.
• • All illustrative material should be sent both separately, as a tiff or jpeg file, and be embedded in the text. Photographs should be no smaller than 300 dpi resolution, line art no smaller than 1000 dpi, in grayscale. For articles that have been accepted, permission for illustrative material that is not taken from works in the public domain should be in hand and acknowledged in the figure caption.

4.2 Abstract

• Each manuscript must include an abstract of 150–250 words. The abstract should briefly summarize the objectives, methodology, findings, and significance of the research.

4.3 Headings and Subheadings

• Use appropriate headings and subheadings to structure the manuscript clearly. Numbered headings are not required.

4.4 References

• • All references must follow the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition). Please incorporate all the references in the footnotes.

4.5 Figures, Tables, and Appendices

• • All figures and tables should be numbered sequentially and referenced clearly within the text.
• • Appendices, if applicable, should be placed after the main text in the end and should also be referenced in the main text.
• • Ensure that high-resolution versions of figures are uploaded separately, if necessary.

5. Supplementary Files

Authors may submit supplementary materials (e.g., additional data, appendices, or media files) alongside their manuscript, provided that these materials are directly relevant to the research.

6. Plagiarism and Originality

All submissions must be original work that has not been published elsewhere or is not under consideration by another journal. Authors are expected to provide proper citations for all sources used.

7. Peer Review Process

The Journal of Sinographic Philologies and Legacies follows a double-blind peer review process. This means that:

• • The reviewers will not know the identities of the authors.
• • The authors will not know the identities of the reviewers.

Please ensure that any identifying information is removed from the manuscript before submission.

8. Ethical Considerations

Authors are required to adhere to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement of the journal, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and integrity in research reporting.

10. Revisions and Final Submission

If a manuscript is accepted for publication with revisions, authors must submit a revised version via the online submission system within the specified timeframe. The revised submission should include a response to reviewers document, detailing how the reviewers’ comments were addressed.
