Peer review

All Articles, Replies, Squibs and Review Articles are subject to double-anonymous peer review and they will normally be read in anonymised form by two anonymous referees. 

Once you have submitted your piece, one of the Editors will be assigned to your paper and will respond to you. At busy times this process can take a few days.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, please contact the Editors in Chief (at ellsubmissions@cambridge.org) and specify the reason for your appeal. 

Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editors in Chief and/or an Editor who did not review the manuscript. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the ELL Editors in Chief and Editorial Board.
