Peer review process
Each submission is assessed by the editorial board, who within a month decides whether the manuscript is within the remit of the topics covered by the journal. If considered, the article is anonymized and circulated among two or three guest reviewers with expertise on the topic, method, or theories relevant to the piece. Guest referees are invited to judge the paper according to three basic tenets: 1) its theoretical orientation, 2) its empirical grounding and 3) its originality and policy relevance. The comments from the guest reviewers are collated by the editors and sent back to the author within three months.
