Review Process
The manuscript review process of Urban Mass Transit includes: preliminary review by the Editorial Office, peer review by experts, and final review by the Editor-in-Chief. Notification of acceptance, revision, or rejection based on reviewers' comments would be sent to authors via email. The entire review process is shown in the figure below:
Preliminary Review
All submitted manuscripts will be tested by the “Academic Misconduct Detection System” developed by CNKI. It is required that the rate of repetition should be within 15% for general manuscripts, and 20% for articles with innovative results.
The preliminary review focuses on whether the research falls within the scope of the journal and is in line with its aims; the academic nature and innovation of the article; the integrity and clarity of the article's content; and whether the format of figures, tables and formulae conforms to the standards. There would be three editors conducting preliminary review on each manuscript. A manuscript will pass the review if it is approved by two of the editors.
Peer Review
The Editorial Office would select at least two independent experts to conduct a single-blind peer review on the manuscript that passed the preliminary review. In this process, manuscripts are reviewed for reasonable hypothesis, accurate derivation of formulas, repeatable experiment, frontier and innovative points, substantial argumentation, and no confidential contents. Authors will receive review comments after peer review is completed, and they are required to provide a point-by-point response to the comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript to the Editorial Office.
Final Review
After manuscripts pass the peer review, they will be sent to the Editor-in-Chief or experts entrusted by the Editor-in-Chief for final review. In this process, manuscripts are reviewed for academic level, innovation, novelty, and the choice of controversial manuscripts. Based on the results of final review, date of publication for accepted manuscripts would be proposed.
Manuscripts from Editors or Editorial Board Members
For manuscripts submitted by the Editorial Board Members or editors of the journal, they must follow all the review and editing procedures of the journal. Review will be conducted independently of relevant Editorial Board Members, editors, and their research teams. All Editorial Board Members and editors are not allowed to participate in the review, editing and employment decisions of the manuscripts written by themselves, their families, colleagues, or other authors with interests.
