Authors submitting to the Journal of Law, Psychology, and Communication Studies (JLPCS) should prepare manuscripts according to the journal’s formatting, anonymization, referencing, and ethical transparency requirements.
向《法律·心理学·传播研究学刊》（JLPCS）投稿的作者应按照本刊稿件格式、匿名化、引用规范和伦理透明度要求准备稿件。
1. How to Use This Template / 如何使用本模板
This template is designed to help authors prepare manuscripts for editorial screening and double-blind peer review. Authors should prepare two separate files where applicable:
- Anonymized Manuscript: used for double-blind peer review and must not contain author-identifying information.
- Title Page: contains author names, affiliations, corresponding author details, ORCID iDs, funding information, conflicts of interest, and other declarations.
本模板用于帮助作者准备符合编辑初审和双盲同行评议要求的稿件。作者通常应分别准备匿名稿件和标题页，以避免在评审过程中暴露作者身份。
