Review Process

The first review should always be by the faculty mentor prior to submission.Submissions will be read by a member of the editorial board and if basic quality standards are achieved, sent to a faculty member who is in the field and
a student reviewer. Reviews will be completed, comments on the document
itself will be generated, and the reviewer will return a decision of ‘publish-as-is,’ ‘publish-following-revision,’ ‘revise-and-resubmit for review,’ or ‘do not publish.’ The editorial board member will then make a final determination and return their decision to the author, along with the reviews. Every effort to complete the review process within two months will be made. Should revisions be necessary, the editor will work
with the author and mentor to guide them through the revision process.
