Author guidelines

【官网信息】

Before you start

For

queries relating to the status of your paper pre decision, please

contact the Editor or Journal Editorial Office. For queries post

acceptance, please contact the Supplier Project Manager. These details

can be found in the Editorial Team section.

Author responsibilities

Our

goal is to provide you with a professional and courteous experience at

each stage of the review and publication process. There are also some

responsibilities that sit with you as the author. Our expectation is

that you will:

Respond swiftly to any queries during the publication process.

Be

accountable for all aspects of your work. This includes investigating

and resolving any questions about accuracy or research integrity.

Treat communications between you and the journal editor as confidential until an editorial decision has been made.

Read about our research ethics for authorship. These state that you must:

Include

anyone who has made a substantial and meaningful contribution to the

submission (anyone else involved in the paper should be listed in the

acknowledgements).

Exclude anyone who hasn’t contributed to the paper, or who has chosen not to be associated with the research.

In

accordance with COPE’s position statement on AI tools, Large Language

Models cannot be credited with authorship as they are incapable of

conceptualising a research design without human direction and cannot be

accountable for the integrity, originality, and validity of the

published work. The author(s) must describe the content created or

modified as well as appropriately cite the name and version of the AI

tool used; any additional works drawn on by the AI tool should also be

appropriately cited and referenced. Standard tools that are used to

improve spelling and grammar are not included within the parameters of

this guidance. The Editor and Publisher reserve the right to determine

whether the use of an AI tool is permissible.

If

your article involves human participants, you must ensure you have

considered whether or not you require ethical approval for your

research, and include this information as part of your submission. Find

out more about informed consent.

Emerald’s Policy on AI Usage

Emerald’s overarching principles of AI usage:

1) Authors and peer reviewers are responsible and accountable for the accuracy and integrity of their work.&

2) AI tools and technology must be used responsibly and transparently.

3) AI tools and technology should not replace human involvement in the publication process but instead supplement it.

Copywriting

(creating, drafting, or writing) any part of a submission using

generative AI tools and technology to generate new material is not

permitted.

Copy-editing

(correcting, editing, formatting, modifying, or refining) all or part

of an author’s own original existing work using generative AI tools and

technology the content to improve its structure and the clarity of the

language and grammar is permitted, ensuring users adhere to the

following overarching principles.

Emerald’s full policy, including examples of use cases can be found on our Publishing Ethics page.

Research and publishing ethics

Our

editors and employees work hard to ensure the content we publish is

ethically sound. To help us achieve that goal, we closely follow the

advice laid out in the guidelines and flowcharts on the COPE (Committee

on Publication Ethics) website.

We

have also developed our research and publishing ethics guidelines. If

you haven’t already read these, we urge you to do so – they will help

you avoid the most common publishing ethics issues.

A few key points:

Any

manuscript you submit to this journal should be original. That means it

should not have been published before in its current, or similar, form.

Exceptions to this rule are outlined in our pre-print and conference

paper policies.  If any substantial element of your paper

has been previously published, you need to declare this to the journal

editor upon submission. Please note, the journal editor may use Crossref

Similarity Check to check on the originality of submissions received.

This service compares submissions against a database of 49 million works

from 800 scholarly publishers.

Your work should not have been submitted elsewhere and should not be under consideration by any other publication.

If

you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it upon submission;

this allows the editor to decide how they would like to proceed. Read

about conflict of interest in our research and publishing ethics

guidelines.

By submitting your work to Emerald, you are guaranteeing that the work is not in infringement of any existing copyright.

If

you have written about a company/individual/organisation in detail

using information that is not publicly available, have spent time within

that company/organisation, or the work features named/interviewed

employees, you will need to clear permission by using the consent to

publish form; please also see our permissions guidance for full details.

If you have to clear permission with the

company/individual/organisation, consent must be given either by the

named individual in question or their representative, a board member of

the company/organisation, or a HR department representative of the

company/organisation.

You

have an ethical obligation and responsibility to conduct your research

in adherence to national and international research ethics guidelines,

as well as the ethical principles outlined by your discipline and any

relevant authorities, and to be transparent about your research methods

in such a way that all involved in the publication process may fairly

and appropriately evaluate your work. For all research involving human

participants, you must ensure that you have obtained informed consent,

meaning that you must inform all participants in your work (or their

legal representative) as to why the research is being conducted, whether

their anonymity is protected, how their data will be stored and used,

and whether there are any associated risks from participation in the

study; the submitted work must confirm that informed consent was

obtained and detail how this was addressed in accordance with our policy

on informed consent.

Where

appropriate, you must provide an ethical statement within the submitted

work confirming that your research received institutional and national

(or international) ethical approval, and that it complies with all

relevant guidelines and regulations for studies involving humans,

whether that be data, individuals, or samples. Specifically, the

statement should contain the name and location of the institutional

ethics reviewing committee or review board, the approval number, the

date of approval, and the details of the national or international

guidelines that were followed, as well as any other relevant

information. You should also include details of how the work adheres to

relevant consent guidelines along with confirming that informed consent

was secured for all participants. The details of these statements should

ensure that author and participant anonymity is not compromised. Any

work submitted without a suitable ethical statement and details of

informed consent for all participants, where required, will be returned

to the authors and will not be considered further until appropriate and

clear documentation is provided. Emerald reserves the right to reject

work without sufficient evidence of informed consent from human

participants and ethical approval where required.

Third party copyright permissions

Prior

to article submission, you need to ensure you’ve applied for, and

received, written permission to use any material in your manuscript that

has been created by a third party. Please note, we are unable to

publish any article that still has permissions pending. The rights we

require are:

Non-exclusive rights to reproduce the material in the article or book chapter.

Print and electronic rights.

Worldwide English-language rights.

To

use the material for the life of the work. That means there should be

no time restrictions on its re-use e.g. a one-year licence.

We

are a member of the International Association of Scientific, Technical,

and Medical Publishers (STM) and participate in the STM permissions

guidelines, a reciprocal free exchange of material with other STM

publishers.  In some cases, this may mean that you don’t

need permission to re-use content. If so, please highlight this at the

submission stage.

Please

take a few moments to read our guide to publishing permissions to

ensure you have met all the requirements, so that we can process your

submission without delay.

This

is a sponsored open access journal, also referred to as diamond open

access. Because it is published in partnership with an organisation,

your article will be published open access, but you will not have to pay

an APC (article processing charge) - publication is free. Your article

will be published with a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 user licence, which

outlines how readers can reuse your work.

Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines

We

are a signatory of the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP)

Guidelines, a framework that supports the reproducibility of research

through the adoption of transparent research practices. That means we

encourage you to:

Cite and fully reference all data, program code, and other methods in your article.

Include

persistent identifiers, such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), in

references for datasets and program codes. Persistent identifiers ensure

future access to unique published digital objects, such as a piece of

text or datasets. Persistent identifiers are assigned to datasets by

digital archives, such as institutional repositories and partners in the

Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS).

Follow

appropriate international and national procedures with respect to data

protection, rights to privacy and other ethical considerations, whenever

you cite data. For further guidance please refer to our research and

publishing ethics guidelines. For an example on how to cite datasets,

please refer to the references section below.
