Online first publish refers to the method of first publishing a paper online, confirming the right to publish the paper according to the publishing website and publication time, and then publishing all or its root references in the printed version of the journal. The 'root literature' refers to the main body of a paper published online.

In the future, all manuscripts approved and accepted by our journal can be published online for the first time. The author of the paper can apply to the editorial department, and the editorial department will publish the finalized and completed manuscript of the four schools on China National Knowledge Infrastructure. However, after the first publication of the paper, in the subsequent typesetting and publishing process, the author is not allowed to modify the title, authorship, affiliation, funding projects, academic viewpoints, and academic data of the paper. Only a small amount of textual modifications can be made based on editorial standards.

According to the relevant national regulations on the management of online continuous publications, the first published paper on the internet is considered as an officially published paper. The author of the paper can download or print the paper from "China National Knowledge Infrastructure" and submit it as an officially published paper to relevant departments such as personnel and scientific research management.

Both online first published papers and printed papers comply with the relevant statements of the copyright agreement. If there is any illegal or academic misconduct, after verification, the consent of the electronic journal will be obtained, and the paper and its publication certificate will be deleted from CAJ-N, and the author and their affiliation will be notified.
