Publication details

After a manuscript has gone through peer review, an editor will contact the author to discuss the range of options for changes to the material. Editorial revisions (citations, punctualtion, etc.) take place after the author edited the manuscript based on the peer review feedback. As a small journal of faculty who teach during the academic year, we strive to publish manuscripts within a year of submission.

Materials submitted to Glossen may be duplicated or reprinted elsewhere if the original author agrees and if the original source (author and Glossen) is acknowledged. Copyright for individual contributions to Glossen remains with the authors unless indicated otherwise.

Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that they have not been previously published.
