HAMILTON Review Process
The editorial team begins manuscript review in January of each year. Manuscripts for all three HAMILTON quarterly journals are accepted year round. After initial acceptance from the editor in chief, the manuscript will be sent to blind reviewers with a 10 day review cycle per reviewer. The manuscript must be accepted by each reviewer, up to three reviewers. Once the secondary preview process is complete the author will be informed of the change suggestions with a limited time frame for submitting all changes to the editor. Once all changes are satisfied the author will be given a publication date. All manuscripts will be published in a PDF format and available to readers on-line through the HAMILTON website and other university library search databases.
