Each year, all of the ASHA scholarly journals publish data on the percentage of submitted manuscripts that were accepted, the percentage that were rejected, and a few other bits of information. What these numbers do not tell you is the process by which manuscripts are ultimately accepted or rejected for publication. Let me take the time now to briefly discuss the process used in manuscript acceptance for AJSLP. It is my hope that understanding the process will allow the readership to gain insight into the thoughtful and supportive manner with which we try to review manuscripts and just what it means to have the distinction of a peer-reviewed journal.
