Peer review

All submissions are initially read by the Editor, or the Editor and an Associate Editor, to check whether, with regard to readability and content, they are appropriate to send to reviewers. 

All eligible manuscripts are then sent, anonymously, to two reviewers. 

When the reviewers’ reports are received, each manuscript is evaluated by the Associate Editor and then the Editor. The Editor informs the author of their decision.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, please contact the Editor in Chief (at [email protected] ) and specify the reason for your appeal. 

Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editor in Chief and/or an Editor who did not review the manuscript. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the JCL Editor in Chief and Editorial Board.
