    contributor-reviewer conflict of interest (e.g., advisors, peers, and collaborators) to exclude unsuitable reviewers.

3. Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a transfer of the copyright of the article to National Taiwan Normal 

    University. Accepted manuscripts should be edited by authors in accordance with the format detailed in “Manuscript Guidelines for 

    Articles”.

    anonymous to authors.

    Reviewers are expected to offer reports objectively.

    in one of the following four  categories:  

    (1) Accept 

    (2) Minor Revision

Authors

Authors should ensure that:

    publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities.

2. All manuscripts should be submitted via the online system: http://ojs.lib.ntnu.edu.tw/index.php/tjeas

3. Where material is taken from other sources (including their own published writing) the source is clearly cited and that where appropriate 

     permission is obtained.

4. All authors must have materially participated in the research and/or article preparation. Only articles in Chinese and English are solicited.

5. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify 

    the editorial board and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. Authors of reports of original research should present 

    an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.
