Editor Roles and Responsibilities
Decision on the Publication of Articles: The editors of JCF are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. Manuscripts shall be evaluated solely on their intellectual merit without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
Confidentiality: The editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher.
Disclosure and conflict of interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.
Reviewer Roles and Responsibilities
Peer review assists the editor and the editorial board in making editorial decisions and may also help the author improve the paper. Reviewers must treat manuscripts as confidential documents, conduct reviews objectively, and notify editors of any substantial similarity with other published work.
Author Responsibilities
Authors should submit entirely original works, avoid duplicate submission, ensure proper authorship credit, acknowledge sources and funding, and notify the journal promptly of significant errors in published work.
Corrections and retractions follow COPE guidance when errors, plagiarism, or ethical concerns invalidate findings.
