Review Process for Articles Submitted to
The Rocky Mountain Review
- Upon receipt at the RMMLA Secretariat, each manuscript undergoes an in-house editorial review.
This first evaluation focuses strictly on the suitability of the topic for The Rocky Mountain
Review,
the appropriateness of the style for an academic audience, and the presence of reference to other
scholarly works.
- Authors are informed within four weeks whether their manuscript has been rejected
or if it will be sent to external, anonymous readers who have expertise in fields suitable
to the subject. These external readers are selected by the Editorial
Board member representing that general area of study.
- The external reviewers consider the author's grasp of the theoretical
framework and relevant previous scholarship, the originality and strength of the main thesis,
and the effectiveness of the supporting evidence.
- The external reviewers are asked to complete their review of
manuscripts within eight weeks, at which time they decide if the article is publishable as is,
acceptable with certain specific revisions, recommended for more substantial revision and
resubmission, or unacceptable.
