As a prospective author, I want to understand the key submission requirements for the Code4Lib Journal. Specifically, what are the general article guidelines, how does the peer review process work, are there any submission or publication fees, and what is the typical publication frequency of the journal?
Navigate to journal.code4lib.org. Click on the 'Article Guidelines' link under 'For Authors' to understand general requirements. Navigate to the 'Process and Structure' page to find details on peer review and fees. Review the 'Current Issue' and 'Previous Issues' dates to infer the typical publication frequency. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise summary for a prospective author.
State that the journal generally uses an open peer review process. Confirm that there are no article processing charges, submission charges, page charges, or color charges. Describe the general article guidelines, including emphasis on practical applications, code examples, clarity, and a target length of 1500-5000 words. Infer and state the approximate publication frequency based on the issue dates (e.g., approximately two to three times a year).
