Review process

The Review Process Each manuscript is handled by one of the editors. MTED uses a double-blind (blind author, blind reviewer) review process. The manuscript is reviewed blind by one of the Editorial Board members and two other referees. Working from the referees’ reports the editors then jointly decide on publication. They may require the authors of accepted papers to make specific revisions, and they may suggest to authors of rejected papers general revisions that might make them publishable. All authors receive copies of the referees’ reports. Books for review, or completed book reviews, should be sent to the MERJ Editor who will forward them to the Book Review Editor.
