JRCP adopts a double-blind review process. To ensure anonymity, any identifying information of the author(s) such as name, contact details and acknowledgements should be excluded from the main text. Every manuscript considered for publication will be sent to at least two external referees in the relevant field(s).
Please recommend at least three suitable referees for your article who do not have any research cooperation with the authors within the last three years (please provide names, institution and email address). The Journal will consider carefully any recommended exclusions, but will not always follow the reviewer recommendations.
The initial assessment of manuscript normally takes about 3-4 weeks after submission, while it needs about 2-4 months to complete the review process. You are strongly advised to regularly check the status of your submission through our online system and avoid sending us email during the periods.
