Research in Government and Economics publishes original academic research findings in the field of Government and Economics. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published, must be free of intellectual property disputes, and must comply with academic integrity standards. Multiple submissions to different journals simultaneously are strictly prohibited.

The journal accepts only online submissions. Authors are required to register using their real names to facilitate editorial processing. After registration and system approval, authors may upload their manuscripts. Upon successful upload, the system automatically generates a unique manuscript ID, through which authors can track the real-time processing status of their submissions via the online submission system.

Submitted papers should include the full title, abstract, keywords, and detailed author information (including mailing address, postal code, telephone number, email, fax, institutional affiliation, academic title, and research interests) to facilitate reviewer access and editorial workflow. For papers with multiple authors, the corresponding author must be clearly designated.

The main body of the paper should be formatted in the following order:
Chinese title → Chinese author names (separated by commas for multiple authors) → Chinese abstract → Chinese keywords (separated by semicolons) → main text → appendices → references → English title → English author names and affiliations → English abstract.

Mathematical formulas should be numbered sequentially in the order they appear. The equation numbers should be placed in parentheses (e.g., (1)) and aligned to the right margin. All formulas must be composed using Word’s built-in equation editor or MathType (images pasted as pictures are not acceptable).

Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively in the order they appear in the text (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2, …). Table numbers and titles should be placed above the corresponding tables; figure numbers and titles should be placed below the corresponding figures. Each figure must meet publication-quality standards.

References: Please ensure that all references cited in the text or footnotes appear in the reference list at the end, and vice versa. A strict one-to-one correspondence between in-text citations and the reference list must be maintained.
