2.  Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Chinese Society for Corrosion and Protection undergo a single-blind peer review process.  The review process involves the managing editor, at least two external reviewers, and two final reviewing editors. The final decision on the manuscript is made jointly by the managing editor and the final reviewing editor.

All submitted manuscripts are first subject to a preliminary screening by the editorial office and a plagiarism check using CNKI’s similarity detection system.  The editor will conduct an initial evaluation of each submission.  Manuscripts that fail to meet the journal’s basic standards, fall outside the journal’s scope, involve ethical issues, show high similarity to existing works, lack originality, or exhibit flaws in research design or methodology will be rejected at the initial review stage. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary screening will be sent to at least two independent expert reviewers, or assigned to a member of the editorial board who will invite reviewers to evaluate the scientific quality of the manuscript. All reviewer comments will be communicated to the authors. The final decision on acceptance or rejection is made jointly by the managing editor and the final reviewing editor.  All peer reviews are conducted independently of the handling editors and their research groups. Submissions from the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Editorial Board Members, editorial staff, or authors with conflicts of interest with them are subject to strict conflict of interest and recusal policies.
