Editorial Structure

The Journal of Joining and Corrosion Protection operates through a multi-level editorial structure designed to ensure academic quality, editorial independence, and efficient manuscript handling.

Editorial responsibilities are distributed among the Editorial Office, Associate Editors, Deputy Editors, and Editorial Board Members.

All submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment, external peer review, and final academic evaluation before publication decisions are made.

The journal is committed to maintaining high standards of scientific integrity, fairness, and transparency throughout the editorial process.
