Peer Review Process
Scholarly Articles and Essays
Scholarly articles submitted to continent. are reviewed using an Open Peer Commentary.
Open Peer Commentaries
The purpose of the Open Peer Commentary service is to provide a concentrated, constructive interaction between the author of a Target Article and commentators on a topic judged to be of broad significance to the community. Commentaries are original text limited to 1500 words and should provide substantive criticism, interpretation, and elaboration as well as any pertinent complementary or supplementary material, such as illustrations. Proposals for Open Peer Commentary are solicited for select Target Articles, which may be read and downloaded via the contintent. site. All authors interested in writing a commentary must first submit a short proposal (2-4 sentences) via the continent. site, uploaded as a .doc, .pdf, or .txt file. Authors of selected proposals will then have 2-3 weeks to submit their final manuscript, also uploaded as a .doc, .pdf, or .txt file.
