- 7. This specification applies to all publications edited and published by the Journal of Historical Studies, and will be adjusted accordingly to the technological development of generative artificial intelligence.
- 8. These Norms shall come into force on March 1, 2025, and shall be interpreted by the Journal of Historical Research of the Chinese Academy of History.
