All articles will be peer-reviewed by anonymous referees drawn for our Editorial Board and from relevant scholars around the world.

Our goal is to review and reach an editorial decision on manuscripts as quickly as possible. For this reason, we reject a significant proportion of manuscripts without soliciting outside reviews when the editors feel that a submission is not a good fit for the journal, is not sufficiently developed or is clearly not of the high quality to which we aspire. We aim to reach a first decision within three months of submission and we usually do not allow articles to go through more than one round of revision. When we give a revise and resubmit decision we ask that revised manuscripts be submitted within 12 weeks of our decision. Those sent after this date will be reviewed as though they were new submissions.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, contact the Editor and specify the reason for your appeal. Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editor together with another member of the editorial team who was not involved in the review of the manuscript. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the Editor.
