Peer Review Policy

Criteria for Publication
The CEJPP accepts original manuscripts with sound theoretical, methodological and empirical grounding. For „standard“ articles „IMRAD“ rules should be respected, research questions or hypotheses stated and responded. The CEJPP publishes papers within the broad field of public policy including recent developments in research, scholarship and practice within public policy, public administration, government, public management, administrative law and public policy theory. For any specific submission the authors are welcome to email an abstract to the Editor-in-Chief, prior to formal submission, if they wish for guidance on the appropriateness of their proposed article, as the CEJPP welcomes innovative ideas and approaches. We will not review manuscripts that are currently under review for publication or that have been printed in another journal.

Authorship
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. Those who contributed to the work but do not meet the authorship criteria can be mentioned in the Acknowledgments. The principal author must be prepared to sign the license agreement on behalf of all the authors.

Plagiarism
The CEJPP takes issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication seriously. Plagiarism is not acceptable and plagiarized content will not be considered for publication. If plagiarism is identified, we will follow the COPE plagiarism guidelines. The CEJPP uses CrossCheck to screen submitted content for originality, and a follow-up investigation is done if the software raises any concerns. If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, we may issue a correction or retract the paper, as appropriate. We reserve the right to inform authors’ institutions about plagiarism detected either before or after publication.
