Author Guidelines

【官网信息】

Submission

All

manuscripts are submitted and reviewed via the journal's web-based

manuscript submission system. New authors should create an account prior

to submitting a manuscript for consideration. Questions about

submitting to the journal should be sent to the editorial office at

fqs@zju.edu.cn. There are no submission fees for this journal.

Peer review process

This

journal operates single-anonymised peer review, meaning that the

Authors identity is known to the Editor and to the Reviewers, but that

the Reviewers’ identities are known only to the Editor and are hidden

from the Authors. For full details about the peer review process, see

Fair editing and peer review.

All

submissions to the journal are initially reviewed by one of the

Editors. At this stage manuscripts may be rejected without peer review

if it is felt that they are not of high enough priority or not relevant

to the journal. This fast rejection process means that authors are given

a quick decision and do not need to wait for the review process.

Manuscripts

that are not instantly rejected are sent out for single blind peer

review, usually to two independent reviewers. Based on the feedback from

these reviewers and the Editors’ judgment a decision is given on the

manuscript. The average time from submission to first decision is 4-5

weeks. If a paper is not acceptable in its present form, we will pass on

suggestions for revisions to the author.

Language editing pre submission

Language

editing, particularly if English is not your first language, can be

used to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully

understood by the journal editors and reviewers. Please note that edited

manuscripts will still need to undergo peer-review by the journal.

Ethics

Authors

should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set

out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE). Falsification or

fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the

authors’ own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of the

work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical misconduct are

treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with the

COPE guidelines.

Manuscripts

may also be screened, including with services provided by third

parties, to help detect integrity issues such as inappropriate image

alteration and papermill activity.

Human and animal research ethics

Animal experiments

When

reporting animal experiments authors should indicate whether the

institution’s, national research council’s, or any other law on the care

and use of laboratory animals was followed.

Human subjects

When

reporting on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the

procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the

Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association. Manuscripts

should include a statement that the patient’s written consent was

obtained and any information, including illustrations, should be as

anonymized as far as possible. Authors should indicate that the design

of the work has been approved by local ethical committees or that it

conforms to standards currently applied in the country of origin. The

name of the authorizing body should be stated in the paper.

Third-party copyright

In

order to reproduce any third party material, including tables, figures,

or images, in an article authors must obtain permission from the

copyright holder and be compliant with any requirements the copyright

holder may have pertaining to this reuse. When seeking to reproduce any

kind of third party material authors should request the following:

non-exclusive rights to reproduce the material in the specified article and journal;

print and electronic rights, preferably for use in any form or medium;

the right to use the material for the life of the work; and

world-wide English-language rights.

It

is particularly important to clear permission for use in both the print

and online versions of the journal, and we are not able to accept

permissions which carry a time limit because we retain journal articles

as part of our online journal archive.

Further guidelines on clearing permissions can be found here.

Conflict of interest

Oxford

University Press requires declaration of any conflict of interest upon

submission online. If the manuscript is published, conflict of interest

information will be communicated in a statement in the published paper.

At

initial submission, the corresponding author must declare if the

Editor-in-Chief, an editor, or an Editorial Board Member of the Journal

is an author of or contributor to the manuscript. Another editor without

a conflict of interest will oversee the peer review and decision-making

process.

Members of the editorial staff of the journal should include the following COI disclosure in their article:  '[Author

initial] holds the position of [Editor-in-Chief/Deputy

Editor-in-Chief/Assistant Editor/Editorial Board Member] for Antibody

Therapeutics and is blinded from reviewing or making decisions for the

manuscript'

Plagiarism

Manuscripts

submitted may be screened with iThenticate anti-plagiarism software in

an attempt to detect and prevent plagiarism. Any manuscript may be

screened, especially if there is reason to suppose part or all of the

text has been previously published. Prior to final acceptance any

manuscript that has not already been screened may be put through

iThenticate. Please see more information about iThenticate.

Open access charges

Food Quality and Safety is a fully open access journal. All papers will be charged an OA fee of $1,855 once accepted.

Details of the open access licences and open access charges.

Please

note that these prices are subject to change. All stated charges are

exclusive of any applicable value added tax, goods and services tax and

any similar sales or excise taxes (Sales Taxes). Any Sales Taxes will be

added to the invoiced charge at the prevailing rate, as applicable.

The fee may be paid in other currencies at a rate determined when you sign the licence for your manuscript.

As

an open access journal, we rely on article processing charges for the

journal's continued operation, and we ask authors to ensure they are

able to pay these charges before submitting a paper. However, we

acknowledge this is not always possible for all authors. Corresponding

authors based in Low and Middle Income countries and regions may receive

a waiver or discount of their article processing charge (APC). For

further details, please see our open access waiver policy.

OUP

has a growing number of Read and Publish agreements with institutions

and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing. This

means authors from participating institutions can publish open access,

and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution is

participating.
