No multiple submissions. It is understood that manuscripts have not been previously published and are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Manuscripts submitted to The CATESOL Journal  often undergo several rounds of substantive revision before they are ready for publication. All manuscripts are first read by the editorial team for fulfillment of the basic requirements listed above.  If deemed "ready for review," manuscripts are sent out for blind review to at least two members of the review board. Often manuscripts receive a revise and resubmit for subsequent blind review.  Because The CATESOL Journal is a “mentoring journal,” contributors are provided with ample feedback to assist them during every step of the revision process.
