The International Journal of Conformity Assessment
The International Journal of Conformity
Assessment (IJCA) is an international, peerreviewed journal for conformity assessment
academics and practitioners. IJCA aims to
contribute substantially to the fields of testing,
inspection, certification, and accreditation
by providing a high-quality medium for the
dissemination of new knowledge and methods.
Among IJCA’s targeted audience are conformity
assessment scholars, practitioners, and
other interested groups and individuals. Main
conformity assessment fields covered are
testing and calibration laboratories, inspection
agencies, product certification bodies,
management system certification bodies,
organizations offering certification of persons,
and training course developers and providers.
IJCA welcomes contributions in various aspects
of conformity assesment. The editors, while
accepting a wide array of scholarly contributions
from different disciplinary approaches,
especially encourage research that is novel,
visionary, or pathbreaking. Submissions
considered for publication must be interesting,
relevant to the conformity assessment field,
sufficiently rigorous both conceptually and
methodologically, and written in a clear, concise,
and logical manner.
