Through analyzing revised manuscripts not returned to Clean Coal Technology for more than half a year in 2010-2012,it is found that there are several causes to this phenomenon: authors are not able to revise the manuscripts as per the comments,they are not content with the column,manuscript processing period is too long,they have duplicate submission or have other target journals,they forget to modify or are out of touch. It is suggested that several means, such as careful selection of reviewers, understanding authors,excavating new ideas of papers and appropriate use of right of revision can give editors' initiatives into full play. By clarifying time of manuscripts revision, developing mechanism of urging revision and network office,preventing duplicate submission,the manuscripts revision process will be perfected. By above means,the return rate of revised manuscripts in 2013 was up to 98%,and editorial department had a better development.
