Chinese Journal of Network and Information Security operates a double blind review process.
1. Initial review
All manuscripts are initially evaluated by the editor. The editor uses a web-based program Academic Misconduct Literature Check (AMLC) (https://check.cnki.net/amlc2/) which compares documents and marks similarities as a possible instance of plagiarism, and checks the suitability for the purpose and scope of the journal.
2. Peer review
The manuscript deemed suitable enters into the peer review process. The editorial department selects at least two expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the manuscript. According to the innovation, scientificness and practicability of the manuscript, reviewers evaluate the manuscript and give an objective and fair opinion. When the evaluation opinions are inconsistent, the editorial department will select another reviewer to evaluate.
3. Final decision
The peer review opinion is that the accepted manuscripts shall be sent to the editor-in-chief for final review, and the manuscripts shall be returned for revision, acceptance or rejection. The referees’ comments will be returned to the principal/corresponding author(s) in two months.
