Once the article passes the initial review, the Associate Editors select several referees from the Editorial Board based on their expertise in a particular subject area or topic. Second review level Each article is reviewed by two or three referees and submitted to a double-blind peer review process where both the authors and the reviewers are kept anonymous. Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript based on the following criteria: − Originality − Relevance to journal’s aims and scope − Technical merit and/or validity − Soundness of methodology − Completeness of the reported work − Conclusions supported by the data − Correct acknowledgment of the work of others through reference − Effectiveness of the manuscript (organization and writing) − Clarity of tables, graphs, and illustrations − Importance to color researchers − Relevance to color practices If the article is accepted with major revisions by the referees, the author(s) are asked to improve the article according to the suggestions of the referees. The revised article will then be submitted to a further review. After collecting the referees' reports, the Associate Editors make a recommendation on the acceptability of the article to the Editor-in-Chief.

Since 2019 the CCSJ website is available via the Open Journal System. This allows a better indexing of the published articles and will guarantee the compatibility with Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). In 2020, despite the severe Covid19 crisis, we continued with the publishing activities and we refined our archiving policy to guarantee long-term access of our issues, making agreements with the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Since 2014 we have published 12 volumes for a total of 14 issues. Since 2015 we have applied the double blind peer review and since 2016 we have applied the DOI system. It is also useful to recall the importance of the concept of “diamond open access” under which our journal is published: the journal is completely free for both readers and authors. This is possible thanks to the voluntary support of the members of the "Associazione Italiana Colore" who work in the editorial committee, thanks to the associate editors, thanks to the deputy editor Alessandro Rizzi and the President of Associazione Italiana Colore Marcello Picollo. A special thanks goes to Chiara Storti of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze (BNCF) the main official library of Italy, to Filippo Cherubini of IFAC-CNR who manages the Open Journal System, to Veronica Marchiafava, the secretary of our association, for the management of DOI database and to Andrea Sinicalco, the vice-president of our association, for the graphic support. Many of these people are also involved in the organizing committee of the important meeting in 2021: the AIC 14th Congress that will be held for the first time in Italy organized by the Associazione Italiana Colore (www.aic2021.org). The peculiarity of our journal, also written in the statute of our publisher, the Associazione Italiana Colore, is to collect papers on color and related areas in a multidisciplinary way. This basically means that in our peer review process we could have papers ranging from the science of colorimetry to the culture of color in the history of art. Moreover, these papers have very different styles and ways of writing, as diverse is the group of the peer reviewers that constitutes our editorial board. The CCSJ accept papers on a wide range of topics on color, including and not limited to the following: 1. Color and Measurement/Instrumentation. Colorimetry, photometry and color atlas: method, theory and instrumentation; quality control and food coloring, dyes, organic and sustainable color. 2. Color and Digital.

In an era in which sectoral super-specialisation has reached extreme limits, having a multidisciplinary journal, on a multidisciplinary theme such as color, favors the development of problem solving skills that are based on the psychological methodologies of lateral thinking.
