Review Process

We accept articles at any time throughout the year and will review articles as they are submitted. Keep in mind that the highest volume submission periods are at the beginning of each semester in August and January, and our Journal is most likely to extend offers during those time frames.

Upon either electronic submission, allow at least 20 days for review.

Authors selected for publication will be notified by email confirming the offer to publish. Once accepted, authors will then work exclusively with the Editor-In-Chief and the Articles Editor throughout the publication process. This close relationship with the author allows for superior editing and efficiency.
