Additional Information For Authors

Editorial Process
Each academic work published by the Press will be subject to a rigorous process of peer evaluation by three or more scholars, including the editors and members of the editorial board (if one is created). The Press guarantees that each work will be subjected to blind peer evaluation by one or more outside readers. The author will be entitled to written reports of each blind evaluation. (More blind evaluations and/or written reports are available by arrangement with the Press.) If the manuscript is recommended for publication subject to revision, the author will be allowed to respond to these reports, revise the manuscript, and resubmit for final evaluation and publication.

Non-academic works will also be subject to blind peer evaluation by one or more members of the editorial board or outside readers.
