Peer Review
Social Science Information operates a strictly blinded peer review process in which the reviewer' s name is withheld from the author and, the author' s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed.Peer Review Process: Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees (most generally three). All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within 12 to 24 weeks of submission. All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors and only those papers that meet the scientific and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal, will be sent for external review.
Authors will receive electronic offprints of their article and a complimentary journal copy. A maximum of 5 journals will be supplied for multi-authored articles.
English Language Editing Services: Please click here for information on professional English language editing services recommended by SAGE.
If you wish your article to be freely available online immediately upon publication (as some funding bodies now require), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Open subject to payment of a publication fee. Manuscript submission and refereeing procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Open. For further information, please
