The Editorial Process

After your paper is accepted members of the editorial board will be assigned to edit your paper and provide feedback. They will meet with you one or more times to discuss these edits and help you improve your paper. An edited version of your paper must be sent to the editorial board by the due date (typically 3-4 weeks after edits are provided). While you do not need to make all suggested edits, and are certainly free to disagree with your editors about what changes should be made, the editorial board reserves the right to reject papers if major flaws remain in the final version of your paper.
