All article submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process, with each being evaluated by two scholars with expertise in the subject matter. Articles are deemed "Publish with minor revisions" "Revise and Resubmit" or "Reject as Unpublishable."

 

Publication Frequency

We will publish two issues per year, in the Summer and Winter.
