Frontiers of Engineering Management

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

August 1, 2023

General information

Frontiers

of Engineering Management (FEM), supervised by the Chinese Academy of

Engineering, administered by Chinese Academy of Engineering, Higher

Education Press, Tsinghua University and Huazhong University of Science

and Technology and published jointly by Higher Education Press and

Springer Nature in English in both print and online versions quarterly,

provides a high quality international platform for the academicians,

researchers and professionals in the broad field of engineering

management to impart and share knowledge newly advanced and created, in

the four main forms of research article, review, comments, and super

engineering.

Types of Articles

The following types of articles can be submitted to the journal:

RESEARCH ARTICLE: Original research report.

REVIEW:

An in-depth overview of certain topic or a review of the author’s own

work or the work of one research group. The format and length of review

articles are more flexible than a full article.

COMMENTS:

A discussion/remark on an article, a view point, a book, etc. It should

be within 1000–1500 words. In this case, the authors are allowed to

respond to any comments.

SUPER ENGINEERING: An introduction to mega projects focusing on technological innovation and management innovation.

Duplicate/previous publication or submission

Manuscripts

submitted to this journal must not be under simultaneous consideration

by any other publisher and should not have been published elsewhere in

substantially similar form. No part of a paper which has been published

by Frontiers of Engineering Management may be reproduced or published

elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher.

Ethical responsibilities of authors

This

journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific

record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the

journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential

acts of misconduct.

Authors

should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage

the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor.

Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be

achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice, which

includes:

● The manuscript has not been submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.

●

The manuscript has not been published previously (partly or in full),

unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work (please

provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of

text-recycling (“self-plagiarism”)).

●

A single study is not split up into several parts to increase the

quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one

journal over time (e.g., “salami-publishing”).

● No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support your conclusions.

●

No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the

authors own (“plagiarism”). Proper acknowledgements to other works must

be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim),

summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim

copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is

copyrighted.

Important note: The journal may use software to screen for plagiarism.

●

Consent to submit has been received from all co-authors and responsible

authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been

carried out before the work is submitted.

●

Authors whose names appear on the submission have contributed

sufficiently to the scientific work and therefore share collective

responsibility and accountability for the results.

In addition:

● Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript.

●

Requests to add or delete authors at revision stage or after

publication is a serious matter, and may be considered only after

receipt of written approval from all authors and detailed explanation

about the role/deletion of the new/deleted author. The decision on

accepting the change rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

●

Upon request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation

or data in order to verify the validity of the results. This could be in

the form of raw data, samples, records, etc.

If

there is a suspicion of misconduct, the journal will carry out an

investigation following the COPE guidelines. If, after investigation,

the allegation seems to raise valid concerns, the accused author will be

contacted and given an opportunity to address the issue. If misconduct

has been proven, this may result in the Editor-in-Chief’s implementation

of the following measures, including but not limited to:

- If the article is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.

-

If the article has already been published online, depending on the

nature and severity of the infraction, either an erratum will be placed

with the article, or, in severe cases complete retraction of the article

will occur. The reason must be given in the published erratum or

retraction note.

- The author’s institution may be informed.

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest

Authors

are requested to disclose interests that are directly or indirectly

related to the work submitted for publication. Interests within the last

3 years of beginning the work (conducting the research and preparing

the work for submission) should be reported. Interests outside the

3-year time frame must be disclosed if they could reasonably be

perceived as influencing the submitted work. Disclosure of interests

provides a complete and transparent process and helps readers form their

own judgments of potential bias. This is not meant to imply that a

financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research

or compensation received for consultancy work is inappropriate.

Editorial

Board Members and Editors are required to declare any competing

interests and may be excluded from the peer review process if a

competing interest exists. In addition, they should exclude themselves

from handling manuscripts in cases where there is a competing interest.

This may include – but is not limited to – having previously published

with one or more of the authors, and sharing the same institution as one

or more of the authors. Where an Editor or Editorial Board Member is on

the author list they must declare this in the competing interests

section on the submitted manuscript. If they are an author or have any

other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another Editor

or member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to assume

responsibility for overseeing peer review. These submissions are subject

to the exact same review process as any other manuscript. Editorial

Board Members are welcome to submit papers to the journal. These

submissions are not given any priority over other manuscripts, and

Editorial Board Member status has no bearing on editorial consideration.

This

journal also publishes special/guest-edited issues. The peer review

process for these articles is the same as the peer review process of the

journal in general. Additionally, if the guest editor(s) authors an

article in their special issue, they will not handle the peer review

process.

Interests that should be considered and disclosed but are not limited to the following:

●

Funding: Research grants from funding agencies (please give the

research funder and the grant number) and/or research support (including

salaries, equipment, supplies, reimbursement for attending symposia,

and other expenses) by organizations that may gain or lose financially

through publication of this manuscript.

●

Employment: Recent (while engaged in the research project), present or

anticipated employment by any organization that may gain or lose

financially through publication of this manuscript. This includes

multiple affiliations (if applicable).

●

Financial interests: Stocks or shares in companies (including holdings

of spouse and/or children) that may gain or lose financially through

publication of this manuscript; consultation fees or other forms of

remuneration from organizations that may gain or lose financially;

patents or patent applications whose value may be affected by

publication of this manuscript.

It

is difficult to specify a threshold at which a financial interest

becomes significant, any such figure is necessarily arbitrary, so one

possible practical guideline is the following: “Any undeclared financial

interest that could embarrass the author were it to become publicly

known after the work was published”.

●

Non-financial interests: In addition, authors are requested to disclose

interests that go beyond financial interests that could impart bias on

the work submitted for publication such as professional interests,

personal relationships or personal beliefs (amongst others). Examples

include, but are not limited to: position on editorial board, advisory

board or board of directors or other type of management relationships;

writing and/or consulting for educational purposes; expert witness;

mentoring relations; and so forth.

Primary

research articles require a disclosure statement. Review articles

present an expert synthesis of evidence and may be treated as an

authoritative work on a subject. Review articles therefore require a

disclosure statement. Other article types such as editorials, comments

(amongst others) may, dependent on their content, require a disclosure

statement. If you are unclear whether your article type requires a

disclosure statement, please contact the Editor-in-Chief.

Please

note that, in addition to the above requirements, funding information

(given that funding is a potential competing interest (as mentioned

above)) needs to be disclosed upon submission of the manuscript in the

peer review system. This information will automatically be added to the

Record of CrossMark, however it is not added to the manuscript itself.

Under “summary of requirements” (see below) funding information should

be included in the “Declarations” section.
