The discussion and decision on the suspected cases are carried out by the Editorial Board.

8. Peer Review

Peer-Review Process

CiSE has on online submission and peer review system at https://submit.cisejournal.org/. Further details on peer review can be found under the Peer Review Policy . The basic policy is as follows.

All papers, including those invited by the Editor, are subject to peer review. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by two accredited experts in the shoulder and elbow with one additional review by prominent member from our editorial board. The editor is responsible for the final decision whether the manuscript is accepted or rejected.

  • • The journal uses a double-blind peer review process: the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and vice versa. During the peer review process, reviewers can interact directly or exchange information (e.g., via submission systems or email) with only an editor, which is known as “independent review.”
  • • CiSE’s average turnaround time from submission to decision is 4 weeks.
  • • Decision letter will be sent to corresponding author via registered e-mail. Reviewers can request authors to revise the content. The corresponding author must indicate the modifications made in their item-by-item response to the reviewers’ comments. Failure to resubmit the revised manuscript within 4 weeks of the editorial decision is regarded as a withdrawal.
  • • The editorial committee has the right to revise the manuscript without the authors’ consent, unless the revision substantially affects the original content.
  • • After review, the editorial board determines whether the manuscript is accepted for publication or not. Once rejected, the manuscript does not undergo another round of review.
  • • All articles in CiSE include the dates of submission, revision, acceptance, and publication on their article page. No information about the review process or editorial decision process is published on the article page.

Submission by Editors

All manuscripts from editors, employees, or members of the editorial board are processed in the same way as other unsolicited manuscripts. During the review process, submitters will not engage in the selection of reviewers or the decision process. Editors will not handle their manuscripts even if the manuscripts are commissioned.
