Submission Process and Instructions
How to submit a manuscript
Manuscripts can be submitted in our online peer-review tracking and submission system, which is accessible to authors, reviewers, editors, and staff.
Before beginning the submission process, be sure that you have read our Guidelines for Authors for general article information and submission requirements. In brief, please log into the online submission system and click the "Submit New Manuscript" link, and then enter the required information as prompted. All papers must have a cover letter, abstract, full manuscript, references, and, if applicable, tables, figures, photos, and supplementary data files. Authors can save their work in progress, submit revisions, download and review proofs, check the status of their article, update personal information, and review their past submission records. Throughout the reviewing process, however, communications between editors at JCivilAvia and authors are held via email. JCivilAvia does not accept papers that have been considered for publication in other academic outlets. Authors should certify that neither the manuscript nor its main contents have already been published or submitted for publication in another journal.
Manuscripts may be rejected without peer review by the Editor-in-Chief if they do not comply with the instructions for authors or if they are beyond the scope of the journal. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author will not be permitted to make changes that constitute departures from the manuscript that was accepted by the editor.
The use of someone else’s ideas or words in their original form or slightly changed without a proper citation is considered plagiarism and will not be tolerated. Even if a citation is given, if quotation marks are not placed around words taken directly from another author’s work, the author is still guilty of plagiarism. Manuscripts judged to be plagiarized, based on any source of information, will not be considered for publication.
Online submission
Manuscripts must be electronically submitted via the journal’s online submission system. After creating an author's account, follow the step-by-step instructions.

The online submission system requires the following information at the time of submission. Manuscripts will not be considered unless they include the following components:
Name of the corresponding author, his or her full mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
The working title of the manuscript.
A statement that the manuscript has not been previously published and is not under consideration in the same or substantially similar form in any other journal. See Prior and Duplicate Publication; Simultaneous Submission.
A statement that, to the author's knowledge, no conflict of interest, financial or other, exists. (If a possible conflict exists, the author must describe the circumstances.).
Acknowledgment of funding, in whole or in part.
For any manuscript that includes one or more studies involving human participants, it is the author's responsibility to indicate ethical approval by the appropriate committee (e.g., Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Board) to conduct such research.
All authors are required to accept/sign the copyright transfer agreement upon submission.
