Peer Review Process

All manuscripts undergo a pre-review by the handling editor before being reviewed anonymously by appointed reviewers in a single-blind process, according to their field of expertise. The decision to accept, revise, or decline a manuscript will be communicated in writing via email. Authors are given one month to make revisions based on feedback from reviewers and editors. If additional time is needed or if there are issues with submitting revisions, please get in touch with editorial.jcta@gmail.com.

AUTHORSHIP:

Authorship and co-authorship should be based on a substantial intellectual contribution. It is assumed that all authors have had a significant role in the creation of an article that bears their names. Therefore, the list of authors in an article serves multiple purposes; it indicates who is responsible for the work and to whom questions regarding the work should be addressed. Moreover, the credit implied by authorship is often used as a measure of the contributors’ productivity when they are evaluated for employment, promotions, grants, and prizes.

  1. The JCTA affirms that authorship credit must be reserved for individuals who have met each of the following conditions: (a) Made a significant intellectual contribution to the theoretical development, system or experimental design, prototype development, and/or the analysis and interpretation of data associated with the work contained in the article; (b) Contributed to drafting the article or reviewing and/or revising it for intellectual content; and (c) Approved the final version of the article as accepted for publication, including references.
  2. The inclusion of deceased persons is deemed appropriate, as authors should be included with a footnote reporting their death.
  3. In articles with multiple authorship, the order of the authors shall be at the discretion of the authors.
  4. Once the list and order of authors have been established, the list and order of authors should not be altered without permission of all living authors of that article. Change in the author list is considered rare and exceptional, and the decision to allow such changes rests with the Editor. An exception to such decisions is in the case of a request by an author to change their name.
  5. Any part of an article essential to its main conclusions must be the responsibility of at least one author. In the case of articles with multiple authors, a “corresponding” author must be designated as having responsibility for overseeing the publication process and ensuring the integrity of the final document. The corresponding author accepts the responsibility for: (a) Including as co-authors all persons appropriate and none inappropriate; (b) Obtaining from all co-authors their assent to be designated as such, as well as their approval of the final version of the article as accepted for publication; and (c) Keeping all co-authors apprised of the current status of an article submitted for publication, including furnishing all co-authors with copies of the reviewers’ comments and a copy of the published version, as appropriate.
  6. Co-authors have responsibility for work submitted under their names. They should remain knowledgeable in so far as possible regarding the contents and status of the article, including the nature of any revisions.
  7. If an article is revised, coauthors should be asked by the corresponding author to reaffirm their assent to be listed as co-authors and to approve the revised version. In addition, if the article is rejected or withdrawn from a journal and then submitted to a different journal, the co-authors should be asked again by the corresponding author to affirm their assent to authorship even if no substantive changes have been made.
  8. Co-authors added at any time during the review process shall satisfy the requirements of authorship outlined in point 1, and the corresponding author shall notify the responsible editor regarding the addition of co-authors.
  9. A co-author has the right to withdraw that person’s name from an article at any time before acceptance of the article by an editor. The corresponding author shall notify the responsible editor regarding the removal of co-authors.

If the article has been accepted, the author must fill out an Author Statement regarding the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications, which the corresponding author signs.
