Where to Submit Your Manuscript

Submit manuscripts via Peer X-Press^®, the journal’s online manuscript submission system, located at http://jcp.peerx-press.org.

Author instructions are available through a link after you successfully log into Peer X-Press^®. After registering and submitting information and files, you may use Peer X-Press^® to check on the status of your manuscript throughout the peer review process.

A cover letter should specify authors, title, Journal, corresponding author’s e-mail address, and any special requests. Unless otherwise stated, submission of a manuscript will be understood to mean that the paper has been neither copyrighted, classified, published, nor is being considered for publication elsewhere.

A duly signed transfer of copyright agreement form is required for publication in this journal. No claim is made to original U.S. Government works. Upload a signed AIP Transfer of Copyright Agreement Form when submitting your original or revised manuscript to the journal's online submission site (http://jcp.peerx-press.org).

Authors are invited to suggest appropriate referees for the manuscript. They may also request that specific people not be used as referees, and they may include reasons for such a request. In both cases, these suggestions must be advisory to the editors, not a condition of submission. Authors submitting manuscripts that contain material critical of, or in conflict with, previously published work of other authors should bring this fact to the attention of the editors. In such cases, the editors will usually ask an author of the previously published work to review the new manuscript as an interested party. The identity of the interested party is made known to the authors of the new manuscript and to subsequent independent and anonymous referees.
