High visibility
The Journal of Chinese Sociology's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience.
Speed of publication
The Journal of Chinese Sociology offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles will be published with their final citation after acceptance, in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through The Journal of Chinese Sociology and SpringerOpen.
Flexibility
Online publication in The Journal of Chinese Sociology gives you the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles).
