Peer review information
The Decision-Making Process
Submissions that are appropriate for the journal are typically sent to two referees for anonymous review. The Editor-in-Chief may, at their discretion, seek additional reports. Final decisions regarding publication are made by the Editor-in-Chief in consultation with Associate Editors.
Review process
This journal uses a double-anonymous peer review model. This means that the identities of both the peer reviewers and the authors are kept hidden.
Referees
Referees are selected at the discretion of the Editor and Associate Editors.
Time to Decision
Editorial decisions are made soon after receipt of all reports from referees. Since April 2009, we have typically returned a first decision within two months of initial submission.
