Peer review
A careful route from submission to decision.
Initial editorial screening
Scope, originality, completeness, and ethical declarations are checked.
Double-anonymised review
At least two subject experts assess the manuscript independently.
Revision and decision
Authors respond to reviewer comments before a final editorial decision.
Production and publication
Accepted articles are copyedited, typeset, and published open access.
Publication ethics
Integrity is a shared responsibility.
CJE does not tolerate plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, manipulated images, or undisclosed conflicts of interest. Authors should retain supporting data and respond promptly to editorial queries.
Concerns about a published article are investigated fairly, with corrections or retractions issued when the evidence requires it.
