01

Manuscripts can be submitted at any time during the year.

02

All submissions will undergo an internal review by the Editorial Committee to ensure that they a) are within the scope of the journal, b) have a coherent thesis, c) are in dialogue with the appropriate secondary literature, d) employ appropriate forms of evidence, e) are original, and f) are written in an understandable English prose.

03

Submissions that pass the internal review will be forwarded for external peer review.

04

Referees are asked to focus on the originality, creativity, and academic integrity of each manuscript.

05

Manuscripts will be classified into one of five categories: “publishable,” “minor revision,” “major revision,” “revise and resubmit,” and “not publishable.”

06

All manuscripts, regardless of categories, will receive reviewers’ comments. Authors may make enquiries about the status of the evaluation process if they have not received communication within six months.

07

Once a manuscript has been approved for publication, the editors will notify the authors by e-mail and provide instructions for any required revisions. The editors reserve the right to make emendations in matters of style, grammar and romanization without prior consultation with the authors.

08

Editors will make due efforts to send final proofs to the authors, but given the tight publication deadlines, this may not always be possible. Proofs are only sent so that they may be checked for errors; no changes in content can be made at this stage.

09

By submitting to the journal, authors agree to accept the outcome of the internal review and the external double-blind peer review. Submitting authors do not have any right to object to or appeal the results of either the internal review or the external peer review processes.
