About this skill

Submission to 《中国软科学》(china-soft-science)

Journal positioning

《中国软科学》is supervised bythe Ministry of Science and Technology, and sponsored by the China Soft Science Research Association and the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China，1986founded in,monthly. It is an authoritative journal in the fields of soft science and science and technology policy, oriented towardinnovation strategy, science and technology governance, industrial policy, decision-making consulting, and countermeasures for major issues, emphasizing high-level analysis and judgment of hot and focal issues at the national and regional levels. Compared with the more academically theoretical 《科学学研究》, this journal places greater emphasis onthe national/strategic positioning of the problem and the depth of its policy implications, but it still requires sufficient evidence, standardized methods, and high originality.

This skill is apositioning / journal selection / rewriting frameworktool, and does not replace the journal's latest official submission guidelines. Before formal submission, the latest template published on the official website, submission and editorial system, or by the editorial office must be rechecked.

Trigger timing

  • The user explicitly says the target journal is 《中国软科学》or China Soft Science
  • The manuscript topic is close to this journal, but it is uncertain whether the problem awareness, methodological strength, and readership match
  • A general Chinese economics and management manuscript needs to be rewritten into a narrative more acceptable to 《中国软科学》
  • Before submission, it is necessary to list the journal's high-frequency rejection risks and alternative submission directions

Key facts (verification date 2026-05; subject to the latest 《投稿须知》on the official website)

  • Supervision/sponsorship: supervised by the Ministry of Science and Technology; sponsored by the China Soft Science Research Association and the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China;1986founded in,monthly。
  • Plagiarism check: Before submission, it must pass an academic misconduct check,with a repetition rate required to be below 10%。
  • Structural requirements: title (generally within 20 characters), authors and affiliations, postal code, Chinese and English abstracts, keywords, main text, references, etc., must be complete; any use of others' theories must be noted and explained.
  • Review cycle: about 5 months(about 2–3 weeks from mailing the paper copy to the system showing receipt) — subject to the editorial office's latest notice.
  • Official website: zgrkx.juqk.net (editorial office entry); address: No. 54 Sanlihe Road, Xicheng District, Beijing.
  • The above values and procedures are subject to the latest 《投稿须知》on the official website.

Topic preferences

  • Science and technology innovation strategy, industrial policy, and regional innovation
  • Soft science methods, policy evaluation, and decision support
  • Digital economy, green transformation, and the national innovation system

Methods and evidence

  • Enterprise/patent/project data, policy pilots, network analysis, text mining, case studies, and systematic reviews are all acceptable.
  • Mechanisms should be grounded in innovation resource allocation, incentives, knowledge spillovers, and organizational capabilities, and elevated to the strategic/policy level.
  • Empirical studies must address identification and robustness; decision-making consulting manuscripts must have solid evidence rather than general recommendations.

Structure and writing

  • The introduction connects science and technology policy issues with gaps in innovation theory, highlighting national/regional strategic significance.
  • Variable construction needs to specify the definitions of patent quality, R&D investment, project performance, or knowledge networks.
  • Policy implications are oriented toward science and technology governance, enterprise innovation, and industrial upgrading, and are derived from the evidence in this paper.

Routing to prevent mis-submission

  • This journal quickly positions itself as belonging to the "Management Science and Business Administration" channel; only when the core contribution of the manuscript satisfies "organization, strategy, innovation management, management science models, systems engineering, or enterprise management mechanisms must be the core contribution" should 《中国软科学》 be taken as the first choice.
  • For similar profiles, first compare:china-rural-economy(《中国农村经济》) / china-rural-survey(《中国农村观察》) / chinese-journal-of-management(《管理学报》) / chinese-journal-of-management-science(《中国管理科学》). If the readership of these journals is closer, do not force submission to this journal merely because of similar names, regions, or variables.
  • Common mis-submissions: if it is only about macro policy effects, compare economics/industry/public administration journals. Before formal recommendations, it is still necessary to go through the official verification checklist.

Official verification checklist

  • Before formally giving submission format/process recommendations, first read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md, start verification from the official source anchors, and state the verification date in the response.
  • Search for "《中国软科学》 submission instructions / call for papers guidelines / author guidelines," and rely on the latest official website page; do not follow the format of second-hand submission agency websites.
  • Check: title within 20 characters, Chinese and English abstracts and keywords, references with annotations, repetition rate <10%, fund/author information listed separately, copyright and inclusion authorization.
  • Confirm again the review cycle and submission entry point (the values above may change with official website updates).
  • If this skill conflicts with the latest official requirements, the official requirements shall prevail.

Pre-submission self-check

  • Explain in one sentence why this manuscript falls within the core readership scope of 《中国软科学》
  • The first 3 paragraphs of the introduction already present the strategic/policy issue level, mechanism, and main evidence of concern to this journal
  • The literature review engages in dialogue with at least 2-3 recent articles on the same topic from this journal or Chinese journals at the same level
  • The repetition rate has been controlled below 10%; title, Chinese and English abstracts, keywords, and references have been checked against the official manuscript guidelines
  • Policy/management implications are derived from the evidence in this paper, rather than being vague slogans

High-frequency rejection minefields

  • It reads like a general policy commentary or work report, lacking evidence and originality
  • Patents are counted only by quantity without distinguishing quality
  • Writing science and technology management issues as general industrial policy

Judgment on alternative submission

More academic science studies/science and technology management → studies-in-science-of-science (《科学学研究》)/ science-of-science-and-management-of-st (《科学学与科学技术管理》); leaning toward decision models and systems engineering → scientific-decision-making (《科学决策》).
