1. Open Access
Have you ever been frustrated to find that it costs $30 to download the full text file of an article you wish to read? The full text version of all papers published by CIP is freely available online to anybody.
2. Affordable
Most open-access journals charge more than a thousand dollars per accepted manuscript. From CIP’s perspective, that means, access to publication for authors is not truly open. CIP’s publication fee is affordable. CIP aims to encourage all scientists to work together to share knowledge.
3. High-quality editorial board
CIP is very careful in its selection of editorial board members. All CIP board members are experts in their respective fields.
4. Rigorous peer review
Acceptance of a submission is solely based on recommendations by editors and peer reviewers.
5. Rapid review process
Typically, the review period is complete within 8 weeks.
6. High citation rate
Our open-access policy guarantees that anyone can read an author’s papers online. CIP plans to have CIP journals included in all major databases, and indexed by Thomson Reuters (ISI).
7. Authors retain copyright
All papers published on CIP are open–access, and are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Under this license, authors retain ownership of the copyright for their content, but they allow anyone to download, reuse, reprint, modify, distribute, and/or copy the content, as long as the original authors and source are cited properly.
