Peer review policy
CFSMR uses a double-blind peer review model for original research submissions: author identities are not disclosed to reviewers, and reviewer identities are not disclosed to authors. Editors manage conflicts of interest, monitor fairness, and may seek additional reviewers when scores diverge materially.
Reviewers evaluate significance, methodological soundness, clarity, and alignment with the journal's scope. Editorial decisions synthesize reviewer guidance with journal standards; appeals follow a documented pathway overseen by the editor-in-chief.
Open access policy
Published articles are made freely available online to support global access to peer-reviewed research. Unless otherwise noted, works are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, allowing reuse with appropriate credit to authors and the original publication.
Authors retain copyright while granting CFSMR the right to distribute and archive the Version of Record. For licensing exceptions (e.g., third-party content), editors work with authors to obtain necessary permissions.
