The CJP is governed by two committees: an Editorial Committee and a Management Committee. Specific duties and responsibilities may be delegated to sub-committees as necessary.

The Editorial Committee has full responsibility for editorial content. Specifically, the committee's content responsibilities include:
Providing editorial direction
Ensuring the overall quality of content
Developing guidelines and timelines for content submission by section editors and others
Appointing section editors
Identifying and recruiting other qualified authors of content
Assisting with promotional efforts
Contributing organizational support, monetary or in-kind, where possible
Ensuring that section editors are contributing material on a regular basis and, where this isn't the case, removing a section editor and replacing them either temporarily or permanently.
