The HKJSW does not accept submission that has been previously published, nor manuscript that is under concurrent consideration of another publication.

Upon completing submission of a manuscript, it implies that the Author agrees to the binding that if the manuscript is accepted for publication, copyright of the article should be assigned exclusively to the HKJSW.

Starting from 2011 onward, manuscripts should be submitted through the HKJSW Online Submission System. Screenshots of the five-step submission process can be viewed here.

Step 1
