Submission Information:
Approximately how many manuscripts do you receive annually?
What file formats are acceptable for manuscript submission?
(Note: The format of the manuscript is an editorial decision and the Journal Manager system currently supports .doc, .pdf, .wpd, and .rtf. Although we can support others, we recommend that editors limit submissions to these formats.)
What academic subfields (e.g., International Relations, Methodology, Economics) are used for categorizing a manuscript?
Is there a logo for your journal? If you would like it to appear on the website, provide the image as a file (.jpg, .png, .gif).
Would you like to display a Welcome and/or a Thank You message for the authors at submission time? If yes, please provide the text.
Reviewer Information:
In displaying information about potential reviewers that one might select for a given manuscript, one can select reviewers either by:
"Last name, First name" alphabetically (if you already have in mind a specific person)
or using a "Search Areas of Specialization" facility.
The results are displayed as:
- Last name, First name
- Personalized Greeting [used in email templates]
- Email
- Institution
- Current Status [customizable]
- Date of last review request
- Date of last review received
- Number of times Reviewer used
- (Additional) areas of specialization
Can you provide any or all of this reviewer information? An Excel spreadsheet is the preferred format, but we will accept others.
How many distinct categories (e.g., Voting Behavior, Institutions, etc.) would you like to use to identify reviewers’ areas of expertise?
Send a text list or Word (.doc) file containing the distinct categories.
Review Process:
What is the maximum number of reviewers that would be simultaneously assigned to any single manuscript at one time?
(Note: There is a mechanism for replacing reviewers, so do not count these in your total).
After a request for review is sent, how many days should be allowed before the due date?
Would you like reminders sent to reviewers in advance of the due date?
If so, how many days before the due date should reminders be sent?
Would you like reminders sent to reviewers past the due date?
If so, how many days after the due date should a reminder be sent to the reviewer if a review has not been received?
