In domestic journals, some journals will clearly state that they will charge a review fee at the author's submission stage. Review fee is the fee for periodical companies to submit manuscripts submitted by contributors to experts for review. Expert evaluation is not free, but will be paid according to the actual situation.

Only after collecting the review fee will the manuscript be sent to the editorial department for expert review. After the expert review is passed, the editorial department will inform the author to make changes according to the revision opinions, and charge a page fee according to the length of the article. Every periodical agency will charge different standard page fees. If the expert's final result is that the article is unqualified, the editorial department will reject the manuscript and the review fee will not be refunded.

Review process: the review of various manuscripts usually adopts a three-level review system: preliminary review, review and final review.

1. First trial: read through the manuscript and put forward basic evaluation and handling opinions.

2. Review: it is required to review the preliminary examination opinions, judge their correctness, and solve problems that cannot be solved in the preliminary examination.

3. Final review: A final decision should be made on the quality and acceptability of the manuscript. Third-level reviewers should have written review opinions, which is an important record in the process of manuscript editing, an important part of manuscript files and an important basis for professional assessment of editors at all levels.
