Editorial Process
All papers submitted to CJLAS are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer-review. This begins with a preliminary assessment to ensure that all submission requirements are met and that the paper embodies the general scope of the Journal. The peer-review process also ensures all submissions are checked for quality of research, importance and novelty of the topic, as well as adherence to the Journal’s scope and publication guidelines.
Authors should expect to receive one of the following decisions from the Editorial Board:
- Accepted, no revisions needed: The manuscript is accepted for publication without any revisions or edits required by the author.
- Accepted, minor revisions needed: The manuscript is accepted, but minor revisions need to be made by the author prior to publication.
- Returned for major revisions and resubmit: Major revisions need to be made to the manuscript. The author is advised to make all recommended edits and resubmit for consideration. Manuscripts are limited to one offer of resubmission.
- Rejected: Manuscript is rejected with no offer to resubmit due to either a major flaw or incompatibility to the journal’s scope.
