For Authors

【官网信息】

Use of Generative AI

Does your serial title offer an online statement on the use of GenAI?

Yes.

GenAI policy

Authors

may use generative AI tools for language editing (grammar, clarity)

with human oversight, and remain fully responsible for accuracy,

originality, and integrity.

AI tools must not be listed as authors.

If

AI tools are used beyond minor language polishing (e.g., drafting

sections, translation, analysis, figure generation), authors must

include an AI Use Statement describing the tool and purpose.

Reviewers/editors

must not upload confidential manuscripts into third-party AI tools

unless confidentiality and permissions are ensured.

Publication standards

Publication ethics & publication malpractice statement.

1) Purpose and standards

Translation

and Global Communication is committed to maintaining high ethical and

professional standards in scholarly publishing. The journal follows the

Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing and

applies COPE guidance when handling publication ethics issues.

2) Editorial independence and fair decision-making

Editorial

decisions are based on scholarly merit (originality, rigor, clarity,

and relevance to the journal’s scope). Decisions are not influenced by

authors’ nationality, ethnicity, institutional affiliation, political

beliefs, race, religion, gender, or other personal characteristics.

3) Peer review integrity and confidentiality

All

submissions considered for publication undergo peer review by experts

who are independent of the journal’s editorial staff. Editors and

reviewers must treat submissions as confidential and must not use

unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own

research without the authors’ explicit written consent.

4) Authorship and contributorship

Authorship

should accurately reflect who made substantial contributions to the

work and who can take public responsibility for its content. The

corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:

all listed authors meet authorship criteria and approve the final version;

no qualified contributor is omitted (no ghost authorship);

no author is listed without appropriate contribution (no gift/guest authorship); and

any change in authorship after submission is justified and confirmed in writing by all authors.

5) Originality, multiple submissions, and redundant publication

Authors must confirm that their manuscript:

is original and has not been published previously in the same or substantially similar form;

is not under consideration elsewhere (no simultaneous/multiple submissions); and

is not a redundant or duplicate publication (including inappropriate “salami slicing”).

Any

overlapping or related manuscripts (including preprints, conference

papers, theses, or working papers) must be disclosed at submission with

an explanation of the novelty of the submitted work.

6) Plagiarism, text recycling, and permissions

Plagiarism

in any form is unacceptable. This includes unattributed copying, close

paraphrase without citation, and reuse of figures/tables without

permission. Where the journal considers text recycling acceptable (e.g.,

limited reuse in methods sections), it must be transparent,

appropriately cited, and not misleading.

7) Data integrity, falsification/fabrication, and reproducibility

Data

fabrication, falsification, manipulation, or selective reporting that

misleads readers is prohibited. Authors must present methods and

evidence clearly and retain underlying data/materials where applicable.

The journal may request supporting data or documentation as part of

editorial assessment.

8) Citation manipulation and metric gaming

Citation

manipulation is prohibited. This includes coercive citation, adding

irrelevant citations to increase metrics, or any attempt to distort the

scholarly record. Authors should cite sources for scholarly reasons

only.

9) Conflicts of interest (competing interests)

Authors,

reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, professional, or

personal relationships that could be perceived to influence their work

or judgment. Conflicts will be managed through transparent editorial

steps (e.g., assigning an alternative editor or replacing conflicted

reviewers).

10) Ethical oversight (human participants and sensitive data)

Where

research involves human participants (e.g., interviews, surveys,

experiments) or sensitive personal data, authors must confirm that:

ethical review/approval was obtained where required;

informed consent procedures were followed; and

privacy and confidentiality safeguards were implemented.

11) Use of generative AI tools

The journal requires transparency and accountability regarding generative AI use:

AI tools must not be listed as authors.

Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the work.

Any

material use of generative AI beyond minor language editing (e.g.,

drafting text, translation, analysis, figure generation) must be

disclosed in the manuscript (tool and purpose).

12) Screening and handling suspected misconduct

The

journal takes reasonable steps to identify and prevent publication of

papers where misconduct has occurred (including plagiarism, duplicate

submission, data fabrication/falsification, citation manipulation, and

compromised peer review). When concerns are raised before or after

publication, the journal will investigate using a documented process

consistent with COPE guidance, which may include:

contacting authors for an explanation and evidence;

consulting independent experts; and/or

contacting relevant institutions when appropriate.

13) Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions

To maintain the integrity of the scholarly record, the journal may issue:

Correction (for honest errors that do not invalidate the main conclusions),

Expression of Concern (when potentially serious issues exist but an investigation is ongoing or inconclusive), and

Retraction (when findings are unreliable due to major error or misconduct, redundant publication, or unethical research).

All notices will be clearly labeled, publicly available, and linked to the original article.

14) Complaints and appeals

Authors

may appeal editorial decisions or lodge complaints about peer review,

editorial conduct, or publication ethics. Complaints and appeals should

be submitted in writing to the editorial office with supporting

evidence. The journal will investigate fairly and may seek independent

advice.

15) Post-publication discussion and critiques

The

journal welcomes evidence-based scholarly critique after publication.

Readers may submit concerns or critiques to the editorial office. The

editor may invite a response from the authors and may seek independent

expert advice. Outcomes may include no action, publication of a

response/correspondence (if the journal offers this format), or an

update to the scholarly record (correction/expression of

concern/retraction) consistent with COPE-aligned processes.

16) Intellectual property

Authors

are responsible for ensuring that their work respects intellectual

property rights, including obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted

material and properly acknowledging all sources.

17) Advertising and marketing

If

the journal accepts advertising, advertisements are clearly separated

from editorial content and do not influence editorial decisions. Any

direct marketing or manuscript solicitation carried out on behalf of the

journal is accurate, appropriate, and not misleading.
