All manuscripts submissions are sent out for external peer review by one or more referees, as well as being reviewed internally at the Yale Peabody Museum by the Executive Editor in consultation with the Curatorial Editor-in-Chief and one or more members of the appropriate curatorial division.

Submissions that require revision will be returned to authors with referee comments and recommendations. Substantial changes may require a new electronic files and print out (including revised figures, if any). Manuscripts may go through a single or several revision cycles; the failure of an author to make required changes can result in the rejection of the manuscript; unrequested changes without written justification may be treated as a new submission if substantial, or may result in rejection. Delays may result if materials are not in proper form. The author should keep copies of all materials submitted.

Extensive revisions other than typographical errors will not be allowed at the page proof stage of the production process unless the author is willing to cover the costs of any such revisions.

As at present there are no page charges for accepted manuscripts, authors who can provide financial support to defray production expenses will receive expedited priority for publication.
