Review Policy

The editorial staff reads all submitted manuscripts. Those manuscripts that editors evaluated as inappropriate to journal criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated as potentially interesting to our readership are sent to double-blind reviewers. Based on the reviewer’s recommendation, the editors then decide from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted.

The Editor-in-Chief has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process

All articles submitted to CSWR will be reviewed using the double-blind review method. Reviewers need to be made aware of the authors' identity, and authors are also unaware of the identity of reviewers (double-blind review method). Generally, each article will be reviewed by one to two people.
