Grievance procedure

This procedure outlines how CrossLink Studies addresses complaints from authors who are dissatisfied with the rejection of their articles or have concerns regarding the handling of their submissions. Authors must submit their grievances in writing to the journal's editor. The journal's editorial team will then review the complaint. An acknowledgment of the grievance will be sent within 20 days of its receipt, with a resolution aimed within 45 days. The outcome, provided in writing, will be considered conclusive. For more details on the ethics policies of CrossLink Studies, individuals are encouraged to reach out to Help Desk, or refer to the COPE guidelines.
