Peer Review Process

General Procedures

The suitability of all manuscripts for publication in APP is judged by the reviewers and associate editors, division editors, and the editor-in-chief. All communications regarding a submitted manuscript should maintain confidentiality. Associate editors handle correspondence with the author and promptly advise the division editor whether a manuscript should be rejected or accepted. The division editor’s decision to reject or accept is based on the associate editor’s recommendation and his or her own review of the manuscript. The division editor forwards document files for accepted manuscripts to the editor-in-chief for further review and editing, after which the editor-in-chief forwards the document file(s) to the technical editors. Note that most manuscripts that are eventually published are first returned by the associate editor to the author for revision, and in addition, the division editor may ask for changes before acceptance. The editor-in-chief is the final arbiter regarding acceptance or rejection of manuscripts submitted for publication.

 Rejections
There are 3 main grounds for rejection of manuscripts. First, manuscripts that are not written clearly, concisely, and coherently or that do not conform to APP style and form guidelines will be rejected without review. Authors whose first language is not English are urged to have their paper reviewed by an editing service. Second, the substance of the manuscript may not meet APP standards: the work may be incomplete, the evidence may not support the conclusions, the experimental approach may be poorly conceived, or the work may repeat established fact or represent no advance of existing knowledge. Third, although the work may be sound and the results valid, the paper may be better suited for publication elsewhere.

Appeals
If a manuscript is rejected, as a first course of action the author may discuss the matter with the associate editor or division editor responsible for the manuscript. Decisions must be appealed to the editor-in-chief if the author(s) believe(s) that the judgment was erroneous or unfair. A letter presenting the reasons for the appeal should be sent to the editor-in- chief. The editor-in-chief will review the author’s reasons, as well as all materials related to the manuscript and, after consulting with the editors who reviewed the manuscript, will render a decision whether to accept or deny the appeal. A rejected manuscript may be resubmitted for publication in another division of APP only if this course of action has been specifically recommended by the associate editor or division editor originally assigned to the manuscript and the transfer has been approved by the editor-in-chief.

Revisions
Most manuscripts that are eventually published are returned to the author(s) for revision. Normally, the revised manuscript must be returned to the associate editor via APP Manuscript Central within 6 weeks from the date of receipt by the author or the manuscript will be withdrawn. Extenuating circumstances must be communicated to the technical editing staff, who will consult with the editor-in- chief before granting an extension.
