Conflict of Interest Policy

Editors are tasked with assigning journal submissions in an attempt to reduce any potential conflicts of interest. The following interactions between authors and editors are seen as a problem and should be avoided: Recent co-authors, current co-workers, recent colleagues, and PhD students for whom the editor chaired the committee. Individual editors must notify the managing editor of any conflicts not on the above list after articles are assigned. The manuscript will be assigned to the co-editors who are least conflicted if none of the editors meet all of the conflict screens. Additionally, sitting editors designate the least conflicting co-editors for each article submission. In order to prevent conflicts of interest, referees are also given journal submissions. Referees are asked to notify the editor of any potential conflicts of interest when papers are assigned.

Confidentially

All information pertaining to the editorial and peer review process of submitted articles must be kept private by editors, authors, and reviewers. The peer review process is anonymous and confidential, and the identity of reviewers are not disclosed unless specifically stated as part of open peer review. Reviewers are required to keep manuscripts private. When evaluating a manuscript, a reviewer who wants to consult with colleagues must speak with the editor, make sure anonymity is upheld, and the colleagues ‘names attached in final report of the journal.

No correspondence with the journal, referees' reports, or other confidential material may be published, divulged, or otherwise made public without prior written agreement, regardless of whether a submitted work is published. Reviewers should be informed that we take every precaution to maintain the privacy of their names as our policy. However, we cannot promise to uphold this privacy if the lawsuit of identity disclosure is successful.

In the event of suspected research or publication misconduct, Cities and Urban Development Cities and Urban Development Journal retains the right to get in touch with sponsors, regulatory agencies, publications, and the institutions of the authors.

Peer Review Process

CUDJ arrange the double-blind peer review process, which involves two or more reviewers with national reputations and experience in the specific field of economics for each publication. The board of editors oversees these reviewers, who are occasionally assigned to each series. Referees will be assigned after the board has approved an article for submission and determined that it is in line with the topic established by CUDJ.

There are four key questions by the referees to determine if a work is appropriate for publication:

1. Academic depth in terms of how well research questions and methodologies align
2. Academic depth in terms of how well analysis and conclusion are matched
3. The references' completeness and accuracy
4. The article's originality and distinctive contribution

To determine if the item is accepted or not, the process typically takes two weeks to a month. It is dependent on how the referees' review is going. The average time to complete the edit-layouted process for an accepted article is three months.

Turnitin, a web application for plagiarism detection, is used. CUDJ has a policy against plagiarism of less than 25%.
