This page offers authors considering a submission to Cedid a practical guide to the process. For the journal’s scope and editorial direction see Aim & Scope; for formatting and citation rules see Author Guidelines; and for ethical standards see Ethical Principles and Publication Policy.

Submission Process

Submissions are currently made by e-mail to: editor@cediddergi.com

The following files are uploaded separately at the time of submission:

  • Main text (.docx): The article text, anonymised and prepared for blind review.
  • Title Page (.docx): Author names, institutions, ORCID, e-mail, declarations and signatures.
  • Ethics Committee Approval Document (if applicable): The relevant committee decision.
  • Third-Party Content Permissions (if applicable): Written permissions obtained for images, tables or extended quotations.
  • Table and Figure Files (if applicable): High-resolution files supplied separately.

Reviewer Preferences and Exclusions

Authors may notify the editor in writing at the time of submission, together with their reasons, of reviewers to whom they would prefer their work not be sent on grounds of conflict of interest or similar. The editor does not send a work for review to reviewers who share a publication history with the author, work at the same institution, may derive financial benefit from publication of the work, or are known to have a problematic relationship with the author.

Review Workflow and Timelines

The journal conducts the evaluation process in a transparent and predictable manner. Editorial assessment of a submitted work is completed within a maximum of 30 days. The peer review process takes a maximum of 90 days.

Where a submission is found not to comply fundamentally with the journal’s scope and formatting rules, the work may be rejected without entering the review process; in such cases the reasons are communicated to the author.

Revision Process

Following peer review the editor communicates one of the following decisions: acceptance, minor revision, major revision or rejection. For works requiring revision, the author is expected to submit a file in which the changes are visible (track changes or colour highlighting).

If an author disagrees with a reviewer’s suggestion, the reasons must be stated clearly and in writing. A respectful and academic tone is essential.

Deadline. The period allowed for revision is a maximum of 15 days, depending on the extent of the revision. In cases of force majeure, an extension may be requested by contacting the editor in advance.

Acceptance, Editing and Publication

Once a work has been accepted, the following stages are followed:

  • The full formatting template is sent to the author and the article is brought into conformity with APA 7 and the journal’s adapted rules for legal sources.
  • Language and layout editing is carried out.
  • A typeset proof is sent to the author. The author notifies any necessary corrections within the period given.
  • With the publication of the relevant issue, the article is archived together with its volume and issue information.

Right of Appeal and Complaint

Authors may lodge a reasoned appeal concerning the evaluation process, the editorial decision or the quality of the reviewer reports. Appeals are submitted in writing to the journal editorial office and are examined in accordance with the relevant COPE flowcharts. For details of the appeals process see Ethical Principles and Publication Policy.
