After Acceptance

Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Computers, Mechanical and Management, the corresponding author receives an acceptance email and the manuscript enters the production stage. This page describes what authors can expect.

Production workflow

  1. Copyediting. The accepted manuscript is copyedited for grammar, style, consistency, and journal house style. The Proofing Editor may contact the corresponding author with queries.
  2. Typesetting. The manuscript is typeset in the journal's article format with a final layout in PDF.
  3. Author proofs. The corresponding author receives a typeset proof for review. Authors are asked to check for typesetting errors and to respond within five working days. Substantive content changes are not normally accepted at this stage.
  4. DOI registration. The article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier of the form 10.57159/jcmm.[volume].[issue].[id], registered with Crossref.
  5. Online publication. The article is published in the next available issue or, where the journal operates continuous online publication, immediately upon completion of production.
  6. Indexing. Article metadata is submitted to indexing partners, including Google Scholar, Crossref, and Scopus, in accordance with each partner's harvesting schedule.

Copyright and licensing in the published article

The published version of your article will carry a copyright and licensing footer in the standard form: "© [year of publication] The Author(s).

You retain copyright in your work; the licence governs how readers may reuse the published article. Full terms are on the Copyright and Licensing page.

For articles published before Volume 5 Issue 2, 2026, the footer copyright line uses an earlier formatting convention. The journal's authoritative position on legacy article footers is set out in the Statement of Licensing Clarification.

Corrections after publication

If you discover an error in your published article, contact the Editor-in-Chief at editor@jcmm.co.in as soon as possible. The journal handles corrections in line with COPE guidance; minor errors are addressed through a published correction notice linked to the original article. Substantive errors that affect the conclusions may require an erratum, a corrigendum, or in rare cases a retraction. Full procedures are described on the Publication Ethics page.
