What is the JOST Certificate for Prospective Studies (JCPS)?

​

The JCPS is the certificate that certify that your study has been developed prospectively. When you get the JCPS, you can put the register number of the JCPS on the manuscript of your paper regardless the journal whereby your are going to publish, and that means that your work has been registered on our databases and the method has been followed correctly according with the planning of the study

​

 

What is it important?

​

Prospective studies have a higher value on the methodology, and it is important to reflect it in the works. Our journal offers this service with two main objetives:

​

• To asses the authors of the work at the beginning of their project to avert methodology errors, and to rectify it before they start to work

​

• To certify that the work has been developed according with the plan, defined before the study.

​

This certificate validates that the objectives prior and after the study haven’t changed, and manifests that the methods haven’t changed during the work, which is one of the most frequent causes of methodology errors nowadays.
