CANNT Journal operates on a double-blind peer review process. The names of the reviewers will not be disclosed to the author(s) submitting the manuscript, and the name(s) of the author(s) will not be disclosed to the reviewers.
All contributions will be initially assessed by the editors for suitability for the journal. Manuscripts deemed suitable are sent to two independent expert reviewers to assess the quality of the paper. A manuscript will only be sent for review if the editors determine that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements in keeping with the particular aim and scope of CANNT Journal.
The editors are responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. All manuscript submissions are subject to the journal’s usual independent peer review process.
The criteria for acceptance for all manuscripts include the quality and originality of the research or intellectual material, its significance/appeal to journal readership, and the general writing style.
Letters to the Editor
We also encourage letters to the editor as a way to promote dialogue and alternative perspectives to articles published in CANNT Journal.
