Due to the current column arrangement, academic translations and academic conference reviews are by invitation only. Unsolicited submissions in these categories will not be accepted.

All manuscripts should be submitted online at clc.shisu.edu.cn. Authors are requested to register and log in before going to the submission page. CLC is committed to protecting authors’ privacy of personal data. Manuscripts submitted for consideration should first be prepared according to the journal’s required format and style specified by the eighth edition of MLA Handbook.

CLC only accepts the manuscript submitted by a single author, and the one submitted by two or more authors will be returned. Authors can log in by clicking on “Author Submission” button to track the status of submitted manuscripts. The review process for submissions involves initial screening, further review, and double-blind final peer review. The status of “under review” indicates that the manuscript has passed the editor’s screening and been assigned to the external reviewers for peer review. The status of “final review” indicates that the manuscript has been considered as usable by the editorial team, but still not necessarily accepted for publication, and some of them may need revising or resubmitting. Only the “accepted” status indicates the manuscript is officially selected for publication. Editors will contact authors via the editorial office email (clc@shisu.edu.cn).

Each author may submit no more than two manuscripts per year.

For all accepted manuscripts, the editorial board reserves the right to make technical and stylistic edits. Any modifications involving the author’s intended meaning will only be made with the author’s consent. If the author refuses to cooperate with the editorial team in making necessary revisions, the editorial board reserves the right to revoke the acceptance of the manuscript.

Due to the journal’s extended publication cycle, the typical processing time for submitted manuscripts is approximately four months. If authors do not receive a notice of acceptance from the editorial office within four months, they are free to submit their work elsewhere.
