PEER REVIEW

If requested by authors, papers offered for publication in the OHAA Journal may be submitted to the OHAA Publication Committee for peer review.

However, note these important points:

• Papers for peer review must show a high standard of scholarship, and reflect a sound appreciation of current and historical issues on the topics discussed.

• Papers for peer review may be submitted at any time; however, if not received by the Publication Committee by 31 December 2007, they may not be processed in time for publication in the 2008 issue of the Journal; furthermore, regardless of when offers are forwarded to the Committee, the review process may not necessarily be completed in time for publication in the next available Journal.

•  Before being submitted for peer review, papers will first be assessed for suitability by the OHAA Publication Committee, and authors will be advised of the outcome.

Papers for peer review should be forwarded to:

Mr Francis Good

Convenor, OHAA Publication Committee
