To promote the advancement of science and express our gratitude to researchers for their continued support of CIF, we are excited to announce the launch of the CIF 2025 Paper Reward Program. The total prize fund for this initiative is 100,000 RMB.

We hope that our products will empower researchers to publish more high-quality articles. The details of our paper reward policy are now officially announced as follows:

✅ Product Information: The article (main text or Supporting Information) must clearly state the product name and model, along with the company name "CIF (Beijing) Tech Co., Ltd." or the brand name "CIF". Please ensure the product model and company name are accurate.

✅ Applicant Eligibility: The applicant must be the first author (the first among co-first authors) or the corresponding author of the first affiliation. Each article can only be applied for once. If both the first author and the corresponding author apply for the same article, the corresponding author's application will take precedence. Each corresponding author is limited to a maximum of 5 applications per year; applications exceeding this limit will not be processed.

✅ Promotional Article: All eligible applications are required to write a promotional article for publication on our official WeChat account, "CIFLAB".

✅ Exclusivity: The article must not contain any product information from other competing companies in the same industry.

✅ Image Requirements: Submitted images must clearly identify CIF products. Schematic diagrams or images where CIF products cannot be clearly identified will not pass the review.

✅ Impact Factor (IF): The IF will be based on the real-time value at the time of online publication.

✅ Eligibility Period: The valid period for online publication dates is from October 17, 2025, to October 15, 2026.

✅ Review Process: The review takes 3-5 working days for pre-online applications and 20 working days for post-online applications. After submitting via the QR code, please wait for the review notification email within the specified timeframe. Please ensure the accuracy of the information filled in during the QR code submission, as this information serves as the basis for the preliminary review.
