Open Access Policy:
As per BOAJ a new definition for open access was coined i.e “The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant(s) to all users free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit, and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship” and from which every article is “deposited immediately upon initial Publications in at least one online repository”
Complementing the efforts and initiatives of different scientific organizations, societies, and institutions, the concept of Open Access (OA) has now established its own identity in the scientific world.
Open Access means unlimited access and unrestricted use and reuse of all peer-reviewed research articles with the rights to use fully in the digital environment. Everyone can access publications freely which are available online. Open access is rapidly growing in the area of publishing domain and researchers can publish their novel and innovative research in their respective area of discipline.
Open Access Journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader “without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.” They not only give royalty to free literature, but also reduce costs for paper-copy production, physical storage, and distribution through digitalized copies.
Open Access Publishing:
Since Open Access publishing allows the permanent restoration of scientific data through digital copies, other than the constraint of Internet access, scientists around the world can freely share information and collaborate to enhance the growth of science. We are passionate about working with the global academic community to promote open scholarly research to the world.
Through Open Access publication process, scientists/ researchers can avoid subscription fees, copyright and licensing restrictions to access free scholarly literature.
Publication Ethics:
Publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is a main building block in the development of an intelligible and respected network of knowledge. It’s reflecting the quality of the work of the authors and the publishers.
» CMJ Publishers follows principles of publication led by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
» Editors should be accountable for everything published in their journals.
» Editors’ decisions to accept or reject a paper for publication should be based on the paper’s importance, originality and clarity, and the study’s validity and its relevance to the remit of the journal.
» We suppose our authors to obey with, best practice in publication ethics.
» Misconduct, Plagiarism Check
» Authors should present their results clearly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation. Duplication of a published article with another published article is not acceptable.
» When this is identified we will consider publishing a notice of redundant publication. The research being reported should have been conducted in responsible and an ethical manner.
» CMJ refuse to publish any article that is found to have been plagiarized in any way. We encourage fresh and original work that adds value to our publication and are always on the lookout for a scholar who can be relied on to provide such work.
Editorial Assessment and Peer Review Process:
Scholarly peer review in scientific journals is a quality control mechanism, where an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas are subjected to a critical evaluation undertaken by experts specializing in the related area, prior to publication in a journal or as a book.
We only publish articles that have been approved by highly qualified researchers with expertise in a field appropriate for the article.
All Journals of CMJ Publishers follow a rapid thorough double blind peer review system through electronic submission, assignment and communication.
The details of neither author nor reviewer are disclosed to each other. The manuscripts submitted will be subjected to an unbiased primary screening to determine if the manuscript fits into the scope of the journal.
The peer review process ensures that the articles published, meet the accepted standards of the discipline.
CMJ follows an initial editorial review process (pre-quality editorial assessment-PQA), where the experts first assess the manuscript for their overall quality and suitability for publication in the journal; based on this system of evaluation, manuscripts are then accepted or rejected, followed by a double- blinded peer review process.
Payment Policy:
In Open access Publication, the readers will have the free access to the published articles. It provides unrestricted usage of the published data by anyone with proper citation of the article. So, in open access the authors are charged the cost of production of full text, pdf and digital articles and permanent maintenance of digital archives.
The processing charges include editorial and peer review cost, journal publishing, website hosting and administrative costs.
The submitted author is responsible for the payment of Article Processing Charge. However, fee discounts, waivers will be provided to the authors from middle- and low-income nations. The waiver is also applicable when the institution covers the charge under membership scheme.
The author must agree the payment policy while submitting the article and make the payment once the article is accepted for publication. We encourage authors who cannot afford to pay the processing charges to explain the reason and apply for a waiver during the submission.
The author will be notified to pay the processing charges only when the manuscript completes the peer review process and received editorial acceptance for publication. The article will be published online successfully only after the payment of publication charges.
