Dear Authors and Contributors,

At JCLC, we value the trust you place in us when choosing to share your scholarly work with our journal. To enhance our submission system and related processes, we are temporarily pausing the acceptance of new article submissions, effective immediately. As a result, we will not be able to receive new manuscripts until 31 October 2026.

We understand that this may be disappointing, particularly for authors preparing to submit their work. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we make these necessary improvements.

Please be reassured that manuscripts that have been submitted to the system will be processed like normal.

We remain committed to keeping you informed. Updates on the reopening of submissions will be posted in the Announcements section of our website.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of the JCLC community. We look forward to receiving your work when submissions reopen.

Yours sincerely,

JCLC Editorial Team
