Manuscripts are accepted throughout the year. After peer review, revision, final editorial evaluation, and production, an accepted manuscript is assigned to an upcoming issue.
Articles per Issue
The number of articles in an issue depends on how many manuscripts complete the editorial evaluation and the peer review. Issue capacity does not influence editorial decisions. Decisions rest on scholarly quality, originality, fit with the scope of the journal, research integrity, and the outcome of peer review.
Submission and Editorial Timeline
| Stage | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Submission | Submissions are open throughout the year. Editorial screening starts as soon as a manuscript is submitted. |
| Notification of acceptance | Notification of acceptance normally takes about 1 to 2 months. This is an estimate and not a guarantee, because the availability of reviewers, the complexity of the manuscript, and the number of revisions and review rounds can change the timing. |
| Publication | After production, an accepted manuscript is placed in an appropriate upcoming issue. |
Summary
