Overview of Publishing Workflow

Publishing Workflow

Our publishing workflow moves through eight phases: Proposal, Submission, Initial Edit, Revision 1, Open Peer Review, Revision 2, Sustainability + Accessibility, and Publication. It is supported by the professional services of our Publishing Team, guided by our Managing Editors, with the expertise of a cohort of volunteer editors from our Project Team.
