The CJEM board provides expert advice and guidance to the staff on policy, content, organizational direction, and attracting new authors and subscribers. The editorial board reserves the final right to accept or reject submitted papers, at its discretion.
Editorial Process
Editorial Review
The editorial board reviews the proposal/abstract submission, and decides whether to proceed with a peer review. If the decision is to proceed, the paper’s lead author will be invited to submit a full manuscript and peer reviewers will be assigned.
Peer Review
The full manuscript is reviewed by peers. Reviewers may decide to reject the manuscript, to ask the lead author to revise the manuscript based on accompanying comments, or to proceed directly to the final stage.
Review of Papers
All final manuscripts will be reviewed by the editorial board for suitability for publication. The final decision regarding acceptance will be made by the editorial board, at its sole discretion. Confirmation of acceptance will then be communicated to authors.
