Editorial Policy
JCAS operates under a transparent, accountable, and ethically rigorous editorial framework. The Editorial Board comprises esteemed experts across diverse chemical and interdisciplinary domains who oversee manuscript evaluation, policy enforcement, and strategic direction.
Key tenets of our editorial policy include:
Integrity and Objectivity: Editorial decisions are solely based on scientific merit, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope. Personal biases, institutional affiliations, or commercial interests play no role in publication outcomes.
Confidentiality: Manuscripts and reviewer identities are treated as confidential documents, with strict access controls throughout the submission and review process.
Editorial Independence: The editorial team exercises full independence in decision-making, free from external influence by sponsors, advertisers, or publishers.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Editors and guest editors are required to declare and recuse themselves from handling submissions where conflicts of interest may arise.
JCAS strictly adheres to the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects editors to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
