Peer Review Process
Publication of articles by JPAL is dependent primarily on their validity and coherence, as judged by blind peer reviewers, who are also asked whether the writing is comprehensible and how interesting they consider the article to be. All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff and only those articles that seem most likely to meet our editorial criteria are sent for formal review. All forms of published correction may also be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the editors. Reviewer selection is critical to the publication process, and we base our choice on many factors, including expertise, reputation, and specific recommendations. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:
- Accepted, with or without editorial revisions
- Invite the authors to revise their manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision
- Rejected, but indicate to the authors that further work might justify a resubmission
- Rejected outright, typically on grounds of specialist interest, lack of novelty, insufficient conceptual advance or major technical and/or interpretational problems
