Congratulations on your decision to submit your manuscript for review.  The Center for Scholastic Inquiry is excited to work with you.  The manuscript review is an extremely time-intensive and comprehensive process.  It is a step in our process that has greatly reduced the rate of frivolous submissions as well as declinations during the peer review process.  We are very proud that our manuscript review is the only fee associated with publication in one of CSI's journals.  The review is conducted by a doctoral-level reviewer and generally takes 2-3 hours.  If your manuscript is accepted for publication, the review fee will be credited to our editing team.  They will spend one-hour reviewing your manuscript for general and APA editing.  Our standard review takes roughly 2-4 weeks.  If you need a quicker response, you have the option to upgrade to an expedited review.  With an expedited review, we will provide you with our preliminary decision within 72 hours (excluding weekends and holidays).  ​Please note, the manuscript review process does NOT result in a publication decision.  That decision is made by our editorial team following our rigorous double-blind peer review process.  During the manuscript review, your manuscript will be reviewed for the following:

-Is the writing scholarly?  Specifically, is the writing formal? 

-Does it comply with CSI's manuscript submission guidelines?
