Our Process
We rigorously evaluate every paper
As a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal, Convergence has a robust framework for its
academic publication and review process, which all submissions must go through.
Step 1
Upon submission of a manuscript, our editorial board will make an initial decision as to whether it should be sent for peer review.
Step 2
All submissions chosen for review will be anonymized by the editorial team, before being sent to two reviewers in the relevant field.
Step 3
Reviews are returned to the editorial team with their recommendation regarding publication, as well as substantive feedback. The editorial team will then decide whether to return the manuscript to its author for revision, or to reject the submission.
Step 4
Authors who are selected to move forward with revisions will have one month to implement the recommendations made by the reviewers.
Step 5
Upon receiving the revised manuscript, the editorial team will consider once more whether to move forward with the publication process, suggest resubmission, or reject the manuscript.
Step 6
Accepted manuscripts will be copy edited and then reviewed as a complete issue by the editorial board prior to the publication of the journal.
