The seminar will provide an in-depth exploration of key strategies and implicit standards for publishing in international academic journals, helping researchers better understand the editorial perspectives and hidden preferences of journal editors. First, the seminar will examine how editors apply implicit criteria to prioritise manuscripts during the review process. Second, it will highlight the pathways to producing highly cited papers, with particular emphasis on innovative topic selection and the construction of theoretical contributions, offering practical insights for enhancing academic value and impact. Third, through case-based discussion, the seminar will analyse the multilayered meanings of reviewers’ comments and demonstrate how to formulate effective revision strategies to improve the likelihood of acceptance. Finally, in light of the growing trend of interdisciplinary research, the seminar will provide guidance on identifying suitable publication outlets across disciplines through structured journal-matching strategies. This session will offer valuable references for scholars to master cutting-edge publishing strategies and enhance their competitiveness in international journals.
