CABTI uses double-blind review: the reviewers' identities remain anonymous to authors and vice versa. Manuscripts submitted to the journal first go through an initial screening by the editorial team. Those that clear the screening are then sent to at least two experts for peer review. Email address for submitting your manuscript: cab@jhkpress.com. Visit the editorial process page for more information.


The Journal is indexed by Google Scholar and OpenAIRE.
The editorial staff consists of translation studies scholars who received their PhDs from universities including Newcastle University and Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. They are passionate about developing the discipline of translation studies and assisting new scholars with their academic research.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, they should ensure that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

While submitting the manuscript to our Journal, the authors should be the copyright owner of the respective material and should not copy past anything from someone else’s work. The original work should be attributed in the form of citation. It is the responsibility of the authors to assure that they are not reporting fake or fraudulent results under their authorship. The Editor in Chief can send the paper to international agencies (for example, Turnitin, Plagiarism Checker X) for authentication of originality. For the plagiarized articles which might evade the peer-review process will be retracted temporarily from publication. The authors will be asked to explain their point of view. In case of unsatisfactory response, the article will be permanently retracted. The notice of such retraction will be published on line immediately and in the next issue of the Journal. 

We will pre-screen your paper with Grammarly and  Plagiarism Checker X at our expense. However, if the Grammarly similarity report result is higher than 5% or Plagiarism Checker X is higher than 10%, then the paper should be sent to Turnitin and the author is required to cover the Turnitin cost. The journal only accepts papers with a Turnitin similarity index less than 20% (with the reference list deleted or excluded for similarity check).
