Journal positioning
《中国管理科学》is supervised bythe Chinese Academy of Sciences, co-sponsored by theChinese Optimization, Overall Planning and Economathematics Societyand theInstitutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is an academic monthly in management science and engineeringmonthly. With operations research and optimization, decision analysis, risk management, financial engineering, supply chain and operations, data-driven management, and complex systems as its core, it emphasizes methodological contributions at the level of model specification, propositions/theorems, or algorithms, and is an important CSSCI / Chinese core journal in the domestic management science and engineering field.
This skill is apositioning / journal selection / rewriting frameworktool and does not replace the journal's latest official submission guidelines. Before formal submission, you must re-check the latest templates published on the official website, the editorial system, or by the editorial office.
When to use
- The user explicitly says the target journal is 《中国管理科学》or Chinese Journal of Management Science
- The manuscript topic is close to this journal, but it is uncertain whether the problem orientation, methodological strength, and readership match
- A general Chinese economics and management manuscript needs to be rewritten into a narrative more acceptable to 《中国管理科学》
- Before submission, it is necessary to list this journal's high-frequency rejection risks and alternative submission directions
Key facts (verification date 2026-05; subject to the latest official 《投稿须知》 on the official website)
- Supervision / sponsorship: Supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences; co-sponsored by the Chinese Optimization, Overall Planning and Economathematics Society + the Institutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences;monthly。
- Abstract: Must be independent and self-explanatory, containing the research purpose, methods, main results, and conclusions, approximately 100–200 characters。
- Keywords：3 or more。
- References: Use thesequential numbering system(numbered in order of appearance in the text, and listed at the end in order), and must be publicly published literature that the authors have read directly,no fewer than 3 items。
- Length: The paper length should not exceed approximately 12 pages (subject to the latest official website).
- Fees: The editorial office has previously announced page charges —approximately 600 yuan for up to 5 pages, and approximately 150 yuan for each additional page beyond 5 pages(subject to the latest 《投稿须知》 on the official website).
- Submission method: Online submission via the official website's editorial system; official website entry: zgglkx.com.
- Review mode: Whether the entire process is anonymous is subject to the latest notice on the official website (to be verified, do not assume).
Topic preferences
- Supply chain, inventory, logistics, and operations optimization
- Decision analysis, risk management, and financial engineering
- Data-driven management, complex systems, and emergency management
Methods and evidence
- Optimization, decision-making, supply chains, systems engineering, simulation, complex systems, games, and algorithms are core
- There must be model setup, assumptions, propositions/theorems, algorithms, or numerical experiments
- Empirical work or case studies fit only when they serve model validation
Structure and writing
- The structure is organized by problem motivation, model, analysis, algorithm/numerical work, and managerial implications
- Notation, assumptions, and proofs must be consistent throughout
- Managerial implications are decision-making patterns, not policy slogans
Routing to prevent mis-submission
- This journal's quick positioning belongs to the "Management Science and Business Administration" channel; only when the manuscript's core contribution satisfies "organization, strategy, innovation management, management science models, systems engineering, or enterprise management mechanisms must be the core contribution" should 《中国管理科学》 be made the first choice.
- For similar profiles, first compare:
china-soft-science(《中国软科学》) /chinese-journal-of-management(《管理学报》) /chinese-public-administration(《中国行政管理》) /chinese-review-of-financial-studies(《金融评论》). If these journals' readership is closer, do not force submission to this journal merely because of similarity in name, region, or variables. - Common mis-submission: if it is only macro policy effects, compare economics/industry/public administration journals. Before formal advice, it is still necessary to go through the official verification checklist.
Official verification checklist
- Before formally giving submission format/process advice, first read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md, start verification from official source anchors, and state the verification date in the response. - Search for "《中国管理科学》 submission guidelines / call for papers / author guidelines", and rely on the latest page of the official website (zgglkx.com); do not follow second-hand agency submission website formats.
- Check mathematical notation, figures and tables, abstract (100–200 characters), keywords (≥3), sequentially numbered references (≥3), and appendix proof requirements.
- Check the length limit, page fee standards, whether an anonymous main text is required, author information page, separate funding information, data/programs/supplementary materials, and copyright agreement.
- Confirm again the review/publication cycle and page fees (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 《中国管理科学》
- The first 3 paragraphs of the introduction already present the problem level, theory/mechanism, and main evidence that this journal cares about
- The literature review dialogues with at least 2-3 recent articles on the same topic in this journal or Chinese journals at the same level
- The abstract is 100–200 characters, keywords are ≥3, references are sequentially numbered and ≥3, and these have been reviewed according to the official manuscript guidelines
- Methods, data, figures and tables, and reference format have been reviewed according to the latest official manuscript guidelines
- Policy/managerial implications are derived from this paper's evidence, not vague slogans
High-frequency rejection pitfalls
- Only regression or questionnaires, with no model/algorithm contribution
- Propositions have no proof or the assumptions are unreasonable
- Numerical experiments only display results without explaining the mechanism
Judgment on changing submission target
More mathematical flagship, with thicker theorem derivation → journal-of-management-sciences-china (Journal of Management Sciences in China); systems engineering/complex systems methods → systems-engineering-theory-and-practice (Systems Engineering — Theory & Practice); industrial engineering and engineering management focus → journal-of-industrial-engineering-and-engineering-management (Journal of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management).
