Are all manuscripts submitted to PAR peer reviewed?
Most manuscripts are reviewed, but perhaps not all. Guest editorials or invited pieces may not be peer reviewed. Some pieces authored by practitioners should go through a simpler process that is less intimidating. The goal of the simpler process would be to find out if the piece is considered useful by those it is aimed at and to make sure the piece is not off the wall in terms of accuracy of description or analysis. The editors will work with practitioner authors and novice academics to get to a cleanly written manuscript. Any author can tell if a piece has been peer reviewed because the reviews will be returned to the author with the editors’ judgment about publication prospects. Authors of invited pieces may request peer review.
