Optimizing Journal Management to Meet the Challenge of Multi-Submission: Deep Analysis and Strategic Innovation of Review and Publication Cycle

As the competition in the academic publishing market intensifies, the phenomenon of simultaneous submission of a single manuscript to multiple journals poses a serious challenge to journal management. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the issue and the current state of the publication review cycle. Utilizing theoretical frameworks and methodologies, it constructs a model for analyzing the peer review and publication process. This model employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses, and involves data collection and preprocessing to define research hypotheses. At the strategic innovation level, this study uses both domestic and international journals as case studies to compare the effectiveness of different response strategies and to investigate the challenges they face as well as potential opportunities. Through comprehensive analysis, this paper proposes innovative strategies to optimize journal management and effectively address the issue of simultaneous submissions. These strategies promise to have a positive and profound impact on the academic publishing industry.
