Journal of Northwest Anthropology

Peer Review Policy and Form

JONA’s REVIEW PROCESS

The Journal of Northwest Anthropology is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication.  Our peer-review process is straightforward. As papers are received, the editors conduct an initial review to ensure that the manuscript meets our publication criteria and is in sufficient condition to warrant peer review.  Manuscripts are then sent to reviewers who are known to be knowledgeable about the topic.  Reviewers are given approximately eight weeks to complete their review. 

To ensure publication of high quality, timely information in a clear and concise format, it is important that we have a wide range of professionals to conduct manuscript reviews.  If you would like to serve as an occasional peer reviewer, please contact Darby Stapp. The commitment is only 2 or 3 hours a year, assuming an article gets submitted on a topic for which you have expertise.
