SEEJ evaluation timeline

[gerald janecek]

Dear Colleagues,

As a result of my recent note encouraging submissions to SEEJ, I
received several inquiries from scholars whose work is under
consideration by SEEJ and whose evaluation is taking more than the
two months I indicated was possible.  In trying to be encouraging and
optimistic, I overstated the typical speed of the process.  Therefore
let me elaborate.  While two months is possible, FOUR months is more
typical.  And, although we try to get an evaluation to the author in
four months (or sooner), occasionally the process takes somewhat
longer than that, especially if we have initial difficulty
identifying or receiving the consent of appropriate evaluators, or
because, due to any number of factors, an evaluator takes more time
than originally planned.  Therefore, while we will do our best to be
speedy, we ask submitters to be patient if the process takes longer
than we might like.  We DO have our act together and are moving
forward vigorously.

Cordially,
Jerry Janecek
Editor, SEEJ
