Vetting Criteria

Manuscripts will be vetted on the basis of standard scholarly criteria:

• Clarity of research question
• Well-conceived research design
• Methodological Appropriateness
• Sufficient understanding of relevant academic literature
• Contributes to the literature
• Clear links to the conclusion
• Well-organized
• Professionally written

Reviewers and Consulting Editors will evaluate manuscripts on each of these items. In addition, they will provide the reasons for their overall recommendation as to whether the manuscript should be accepted, rejected, or revised and resubmitted.
