Initial Submission: hardcopy and electronic file

The review process takes at least three months. Receipt of your manuscript and the electronic file is acknowledged with a card, sent to you in one of the stamped envelopes you provide with copies of your manuscript and an email.  The co-editors initially read all manuscripts to assure that they are appropriate to the audience of the journal. Authors are notified by letter if a manuscript is deemed inappropriate and suggestions for other publication sources are made.

• Manuscripts cannot be returned.
• To find out if your article is appropriate before submittal, discuss the topic with the editors first.

After the Editors read the manuscripts

• Copies are sent to at least two outside reviewers whose interests and expertise are matched to the subject of the manuscript.
• The Reviewers make recommendations for publication and revision.
• After receiving all recommendations, final decisions are made by the Editors.

If your manuscript is selected

Our decision will be communicated to you in a letter, sent in the second stamped envelope you provide and via email. The letter will summarize the reviewers ’ comments, and suggest revisions. A "supervising editor " will be assigned to you. This person will assist you in revisions and the details of preparing the final copy of your manuscript for publication.
