Authorship & Contribution Policy

Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Those who do not meet that criterion should be acknowledged (see Instructions for Authors for details). It is the sole responsibility of contributors to determine the authors of the manuscript submitted to the journal.

As part of JOCCD’s commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent, and fair peer review and publication process, CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is used. CRediT is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, which is used to describe each author’s individual contributions to the work.  See our detailed instructions for CRediT to make a contribution statement

Acknowledgements

Authors must ensure that anyone named in the acknowledgments agrees to being so named. Editors of Journal of Childhood Literacy and Societal Issues may require that the corresponding author obtain written permission to be acknowledged from all acknowledged individuals.

Addition or Removal of Authors

The authors’ request for the addition or removal of an author should be properly justified. Please note that a change in authorship (order of listing, addition or deletion of a name, or corresponding author designation) after submission of the manuscript will be implemented only after receipt of signed statements of agreement from all parties involved (all listed authors and the author to be removed or added).

Erratum

If any errors are detected in the published material, they should be reported to the Managing Editor. The corresponding authors should send the appropriate corrected material to the Managing Editor via email. This material will be considered for publication as soon as feasible.

Reprints

Because the journal is published in an open-access model and has no printed version, the authors receive no reprints.
