Review Policy
Manuscripts are reviewed in an unbiased manner, receiving prompt attention by the editorial office and its referees. After a preliminary assessment of the suitability of the paper by the Editor, any paper will follow at least double-blinded peer-review process (in some cases, more than two reviewers will assess submitted manuscript). The goal of the Editorial office is of providing the referees' reports, and the final decision by the Editor, within eight weeks since submission.
The whole process will be handled by the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Assistant, to whom all inquiries should be addressed. Articles for consideration should be submitted using the online submission form. Submissions through e-mail will be considered in the case of technical difficulties with the online submission form.
The JCE is committed to keeping the content of all submissions confidential until the publication date. Although we make every possible effort to ensure reviewers honor their confidentiality commitments, we cannot be held responsible for the conduct of reviewers. Reviewers should be aware that it is our policy to keep their names confidential, and that we do our utmost to ensure this confidentiality.

Every author who has published a paper in our journal will be able to track the number of hits of his published paper by using Crossref, which will be a significant reference in selection of candidates for teaching and associate positions and in evaluation of submitted applications for scientific-research projects.
