Submissions to CPPJ are accepted via two different paths. The first path is via direct submissions at https://iscap.us/papers . The second submission route is via the ISCAP annual conference . All submissions (direct or via the annual conference) are subjected to a double-blind, peer review process, where reviewers do not know the names and affiliations of paper authors, and paper authors do not know the names and affiliations of reviewers. All submissions (articles, teaching tips, and teaching cases & notes) to the journal will be refereed by a rigorous evaluation process involving at least three blind reviews by qualified academic, industrial, or governmental computing professionals. Submissions will be judged not only on the suitability of the content but also on the readability and clarity of the prose. Currently, the acceptance rate for the journal is under 35%.

August 2025 Update - we are pleased to announce that Cabell's has reviewed CPPJ and CPPJ will appear in their future updates as a listed journal.
