Processing of Manuscripts and Production

  • Once reviewers have made their recommendations about a contribution, the editors will make a final judgement whether to reject or accept, or to accept, subject to minor or major revisions.
  • Once accepted, manuscripts are copyedited and scheduled for publication. Authors will be notified of the year and issue number, as soon as it has been determined.
  • Page proofs will be sent to the designated (first) author in PDF format by email. The proofs should then be returned within the scheduled time requested (usually no more than seven days). With rare exceptions, only printer’s errors and authors’ minor typographical errors will be corrected.
  • Authors receive a PDF file and one complimentary copy of the issue.
