It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to guarantee that the paper has not been published elsewhere and is not currently submitted to other journals for consideration. CIP journals adopt a single-blind review policy. Authors do not know who reviewers are. Typically, the review period is complete within 6 weeks. If authors do not receive a decision letter by email within 8 weeks after the submission, the corresponding author may send an email to inquire as to the submission’s status. Authors can also track the review progress through our online system. If you need a shorter review period due to special circumstances, you may request such along with your explanation of the situation by email; however, CIP cannot guarantee its ability to grant the request because high-quality judgment of a scientific work in a short time is a challenge.
CIP journals do not charge subscription fees to readers or libraries. Therefore, your publications are more likely to have a higher impact and citation rate. To partially compensate for costs, including housing, editing, electronic office supplies, employee salary, and manuscript management systems, CIP charges $500 for each accepted submission. CIP editorial board members and reviewers get reduced publication fee.
All submissions are free of publication fee if submitted before Sep. 1, 2012.
