Evaluation Procedures

While some submissions are declined upon initial internal review by the editor as inappropriate, improperly prepared, too long, too weak, etc., the great majority of submissions are sent blind to two philosophers expert in the area of the topic. Reports on submitted articles are provided by members of the HPQ Board of Consults and also by a very large array of expert scholars from across the world who are not directly connected with the journal's editorial management. Reviews are always anonymous and the choice of evaluators is solely dependent on area of expertise. In order to expedite getting decisions to authors, in rare cases the editor might make a decision on the basis of one reviewer when their review is particularly thorough and authoritative.

The evaluators are asked to supply a recommendation of accept, decline, revise & resubmit, etc., and comments. They frequently respond with generous reports containing detailed critical comments and suggestions for authors. The varying multi-step process of arranging for expert readers, evaluation, revision, reconsideration, and final revision can take six or more months. The current acceptance rate is ca. 10% and declining due to an increase of highly competitive submissions.
