For each category, detailed application requirements were outlined to ensure clarity for applicants. The submission deadline was set for October 21st to the 24th of 2024, with a centralized location at the CAS's comprehensive business office. The exact address for paper submissions is Beijing City Haidian District, Academy South Road 86, West 301 Room of the Chinese Science and Technology Association. Applicants were instructed to submit their papers in A4 size format on both sides, ensuring a complete submission.

Each category presented its unique requirements for applicants:

English Single Journals: This category focused on journals publishing solely in English, with specific requirements including the application form (China Journal Excellence Action Plan II Project Application), a certified copy of the publication license, and proof of continuous publication from June 2023 onward. The submission also included the journal's cover pages, and any supporting documents that aided their eligibility for the program.

Chinese Single Journals: This category focused on Chinese journals that published solely in Chinese, with similar requirements as English single-journals. For both categories, applicants were required to include other materials like research publications, peer reviews, or editorial contributions to strengthen their application. The focus was on showcasing strong scholarly work and potential for scientific advancement.

Cluster-Based Pilot Projects: This category catered to teams of journals that aimed to collaborate through a pilot project, often centered around shared research areas. This involved a detailed application form with specific requirements including the formation of a joint editorial board, a legal document verifying the consortium's existence (e.g., incorporation documents), and other supporting materials showcasing the potential for scientific collaboration.

The CAS emphasized transparency throughout the process, outlining clear communication channels to assist applicants with any queries or clarifications. The CAS also highlighted their commitment to ethical standards by stressing that falsifying information would disqualify applicants from the program.

This comprehensive framework for the "China Journal Excellence Action Plan" provides a structured environment for supporting impactful scientific endeavors within China's vibrant academic landscape. By encouraging collaboration, innovation, and high-quality publications, this program aims to propel scholarly progress within the country's research ecosystem.
