Peer Review Process
All submissions in IJC undergo a rigorous single blind review process to ensure fair assessment/evaluation and maintain a high-quality impeccable global standard in publication. In the single blind process, the reviewers will be able to know who the authors are and the authors will have no information about the reviewers. All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents and the peer review process may take a minimum of two to four months from the date of submission. Submitted manuscripts are generally referred to two experts (reviewers) and in few cases, it may go to more than two experts depending upon the reviewer’s response or lack of it. Only critical reviews are considered and preferred for effective evaluation and improvement in the interest of the journal. Authors may submit a list of three experts in the same subject area with complete details including email along with self declaration (about the originality and non-duplicate/parallel submission) at the time of manuscript submission. Such lists may or may not be used for review purpose of that particular manuscript. Only the manuscripts that qualify the peer review process are processed further, others are declined.

Editorial Board
CSIR-NIScPR Policy on Plagiarism
The system of formal communication in science through publication in primary journals is based on originality and quality of information, being the only criteria for publication. However, there have been tendencies to misuse the system and vitiate the process of science communication for personal benefits. One of the ills, afflicting science communication, is plagiarism. Attempts at plagiarism may range from verbatim copying of extensive material of other authors, misappropriating results/data of others with minor changes in language/presentation without giving credit to original source, and to publishing essentially the same information more than once.
As the premier institution of publishing primary scientific journals in various disciplines of science and technology in India, CSIR-NIScPR strongly reiterates its policy of discouraging plagiarism of all kinds. All efforts are made to detect and frustrate attempts at plagiarism through editorial screening and rigorous peer review in respect of communications received for publication in the CSIR-NIScPR publications. Cooperation of the scientific community is sought in our efforts to frustrate all attempts at plagiarism.
In case, any attempt of plagiarism is brought to our attention accompanied with convincing evidence, following steps would be taken:
(a) After consulting the respective Editorial Board Members, authors guilty of plagiarism will be debarred from publishing their papers in CSIR-NIScPR journals.
(b) Heads of the Departments/Institutes of the offending authors will be intimated of such incidences of plagiarism.
(c) Such incidents of plagiarism will be publicized through the concerned CSIR-NIScPR journals in consultation with the respective Editorial Board Members.
