Review process

This journal uses a double-anonymous model of peer review. Neither author nor reviewers know the identity of each other. 

How articles are reviewed

Our review process involves two stages. The author may be asked to make changes after either the first or the second stage; the article may also be rejected after either review. The comments of our anonymous reviewers will be passed on to the author, whether or not the essay is accepted. If a submission seems obviously inappropriate to HTR, it may be rejected without entering the review process. Since we depend on peer review by scholars, who are often quite busy, we cannot guarantee a date by which a decision will have been made. We hope to have a decision within three months of the time the essay is submitted.

Appeals

To appeal an editorial decision, please contact the Managing Editor, Faye Bodley-Dangelo (at [email protected]) and specify the reason for your appeal. 

Your appeal will be reviewed by the Editor. The final decision regarding your appeal will rest with the HTR Editor and Editorial Board.
