This journal uses a single-anonymised model of peer review. The author does not know the identity of the reviewers, but the reviewers know the identity of the author.
Manuscripts are normally reviewed by two external peer reviewers and a member of the Editorial Board.
When substantial revisions are required to manuscripts after review, authors are normally given the opportunity to do this once only; the need for any further changes should at most reflect only minor issues. If a paper requiring revision is not resubmitted within 2 months, it may, on resubmission, be deemed a new paper and the date of receipt altered accordingly.
Appeals process
Appeals against an editorial decision will be considered under exceptional circumstances only. Any appeal should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief via the Editorial Office (NRR.edoffice@cambridge.org) and must be received within 3 months from the date of the rejection letter. Such appeals must state clearly the grounds for the appeal. Uninvited resubmissions will not be considered.
If you have any other concerns about the handling of a manuscript or editorial processes of the journal, please contact the Editorial Office at: NRR.edoffice@cambridge.org or the journal’s publisher, Cambridge University Press, at publishingethics@cambridge.org.
