Editorial Workflow ...
The Pan-American Paleontology has established the following timeline goals for the peer review process to help assure a thorough and timely handling of all submissions.
- Generally, within 2 workdays of submission, author is sent an acknowledgment and request for any missing confirmations or materials.
- Manuscript is sent to Journal Editor and Board and then assigned and sent to a Manuscript Editor within 3 weeks of submission.
- Manuscript Editor to send manuscript to two reviewers within 2 weeks of taking assignment.
- Reviewers to complete assessment and return comments to Manuscript Editor within 4 weeks.
- Manuscript Editor to contact author with decision within 2 weeks of receiving reviewer comments.
- If revision is requested, author to revise manuscript and return it to Manuscript Editor within 4 weeks.
- Manuscript Editor to review revised manuscript within 2 weeks of receipt and to either request additional revision or confirm to author that the manuscript is acceptable for publication and that it has been forwarded to the Production Editor.
- Production staff to copy edit and complete layout of manuscript in galley form within 4 weeks of receipt of all appropriately formatted materials. Galley is then sent to Journal Editor, Manuscript Editor, and author for a final review prior to publication.
- Journal Editor, Manuscript Editor, and author to complete review and return galley edits within 2 weeks.
- Production staff to make edits, conduct a final proofing, and publish the manuscript within 2 weeks.
Thus, if authors promptly make sufficient revisions to address all reviewer concerns without necessitating further rounds of revision and review, manuscripts will generally be published within 6-7 months or less from the time of submission.
