Special Issues

All Special Issues (Special Topics) are governed by the same editorial standards as regular issues of CJIF, including single-blind peer review, ethical compliance with COPE's Core Practices, and the journal's access policy.

Special Issues are coordinated by two or more Guest Editors who are recognized experts in the relevant topic area. Guest Editors are responsible for soliciting contributions, conducting an initial scope assessment, and managing the peer review process within the journal's submission system. Guest Editors must declare any conflicts of interest and may not handle manuscripts in which they have a personal or professional stake.

For full details on proposing a Special Issue, Guest Editor responsibilities, submission requirements, and author guidelines specific to Special Issues, please refer to the Editorial Process and Author Guidelines pages.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism detection is performed at ICCK using the iThenticate- Crossref Similarity Checking tool. This web-based tool is employed in the editorial process to identify potential text plagiarism. It's important to note that while iThenticate can identify matching text, it cannot independently determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Manual examination of the matching text is still necessary, and judgment must be exercised to ascertain the presence or absence of plagiarism. The similarity report might be sent to the author for revision whenever needed.

Publication Ethics Statement

ICCK is responsible for implementing rigorous peer review and strict ethical policies and standards to ensure that high quality scientific work is added to the field of scholarly publishing. ICCK takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously, and our editors are trained to enforce COPE's Core Practices and Guidelines, with a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism, data falsification, and other behaviours. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate/Crossref Similarity Check to check submissions against previous publications.

Advertising

The journal does not accept any commercial product advertisements until policy changes otherwise.

Direct Marketing

Journal propagation has been done through the journal website and distribution of an introduction pamphlet. Invitations to submit a manuscript are usually targeted towards presenters at conferences, seminars, or workshops related to the journal's aims and scope.
