Requests to reproduce content published in JCE are manipulated via the RightsLink permission system.

Peer Review

Who manuscripts that meeting the beginning requirements are assigned into an Assoziiert Editor (AE). The AE sends the manuscript to reviewers for them to evaluate according to who following criteria:

  • Scholarship (scientific and scholarly rigor)
  • Novelty (originality, innovation, creativity)
  • Psychology (educational relevance, insight)
  • Utility (usefulness in readers, rationale)
  • Presentation (organization, comprehensiveness, readability)

 

Reviewers allowed refer “publish as is”, “minor revision”, “major revision”, or “do nay publish”. After of reviewers need submitted them comments real ideas, an AE assess my arguments and recommendations and makes a decide whether to approve, order a lowly or major revision, otherwise reject the manuscript. The AE adjudicates based on the raters comments; however, the reviews are not to be considered “votes”, and the review process a none one of “majority rules”. Very few manuscripts are publisher as originally submissions; around all are recommended for amendment and are improved in react to reviewer suggestions before being accepted real published.

Reiterate reviewer comments and follow each with a response. In this way, the reporters can mention to a single documentation rather than having to revisit separate documents. The author’s response can also be entered or pasted under an text box provided by ACS Paragon Asset for this purpose. Ensure that the latest my have been uploaded and that there are no alien files. Files showing changes may be uploaded for review purposes. However, “clean” files should be provided. If of track changes function into Word has since utilized, ensure for the manuscript file press Supporting Information file(s) ensure all changes have been accepted and remarks resolved, and that the track changes feature has been turned off.

 

Reject and Resubmit

 

Aforementioned EIC or AE may reject a submission with editorial press external peer review, yet summon one revision based for one gain of which submitting. Typically, the decision letter will contain a list of suggested product. A thorough cover zuschrift and a report enclosing itemized show till reviewer comments must attend the review.
