CESTJ is a biannual publication, releasing its issues in June and December.
The Editor-in-Chief conducts an initial examination of all submitted papers to ensure they are aligned with the journal’s stated objectives and scope, as well as meeting the fundamental requirements of academic and methodological quality. Submissions that are judged appropriate are subsequently transmitted for external peer assessment.

Submissions that are judged appropriate are subsequently transmitted for external peer assessment.
Following peer review, the Editor-in-Chief is solely responsible for the ultimate decision on acceptance, amendment, or rejection. If modifications are required, authors will get thorough feedback and must submit a new paper addressing the reviewers’ and editor’s suggestions within 4 to 8 weeks. In rare situations, amended submissions may be subjected to an extra round of peer review to verify that all issues have been adequately addressed.
Following final acceptance, modest editing changes may be asked to ensure clarity, consistency, and compliance with publishing standards.
While the journal strives for rapid judgments, delays may arise owing to a lack of qualified reviewers. In such circumstances, authors may be encouraged to suggest other experts who can act as reviewers, subject to journal permission.
