About the Journal

Focus and Scope

CJET is a peer-reviewed, Open Access multidisciplinary engineering journal that publishes original research articles as well as review articles in all areas of engineering technology. It publishes both theoretical and experimental high-quality papers of permanent interest, not previously published in journals, in the field of engineering technology. In addition to peer-reviewed original research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes original research reports, state-of-the-art reviews, and communications in the broadly defined field of engineering science and technology.

 

[CJET] Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

  1. Editorial Board Responsibilities
  • Editorial Independence: The editorial board of CJET is responsible for making independent and fair decisions on manuscript selection, review, and publication, regardless of any potential conflicts of interest, race, gender, religion, nationality, or political beliefs.
  • Confidentiality: Editors and reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and refrain from disclosing any information about manuscripts to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, and the publisher.
  • Fair Review: Manuscripts will be evaluated based on their academic and intellectual content, regardless of the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
  • Publication Decisions: Editors have the sole authority to accept or reject a manuscript. In cases of conflict of interest or questions regarding the quality or accuracy of the work, the editors should consult with the editorial board.
  1. Author Responsibilities
  • Originality: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original and properly cited if they have used the work and/or words of others.
  • Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their study for editorial review, and they should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
  • Plagiarism and Citation Manipulation: Authors should not engage in plagiarism or inappropriately manipulate citations. All sources should be properly cited.
  • Authorship: All authors should have made a substantial contribution to the research and should be listed as co-authors. Corresponding authors must ensure that all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper and agree to its submission for publication.
  1. Reviewer Responsibilities
  • Confidentiality: Reviewers must keep the content of the manuscript confidential and refrain from using the information for personal gain.
  • Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively, with constructive feedback to help authors improve their work.
  • Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Reviewers should disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may compromise their ability to provide a fair review.
  1. Publisher Responsibilities
  • Publication Decisions: The publisher is responsible for making editorial decisions based on the journal's policies and should not interfere with these decisions.
  • Access and Archiving: The publisher should ensure the journal's content is available to the widest possible audience and should provide proper archiving and digital preservation of the journal's content.
  1. Procedures for Dealing with Ethical Issues

In cases of ethical violations, the following procedures will be followed:

  • Identification of Ethical Violations: If ethical violations are suspected, the editors will conduct a preliminary investigation.
  • Investigation: An investigation may be initiated to gather evidence and determine the appropriate course of action.
  • Resolution: Depending on the severity of the ethical violation, actions may include contacting the author, reviewers, or institutions involved, retracting the manuscript, and publishing a formal retraction notice.
  • Appeals: Authors have the right to appeal editorial decisions, and reviewers have the right to appeal a decision to reject a manuscript for publication.

CJET encourages its editors, reviewers, and authors to uphold the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. Violations of these principles may result in appropriate actions to uphold the integrity of the journal and the academic community.
