What is the review process at ANNALS? Are submissions blind reviewed? When will I hear back about my submission?

Proposals are first screened for acceptable format and suitable content by the Editors in Chief. Each proposal is then subjected to blind peer review by two associate editors. Author CVs are NOT required and should not be submitted. Decisions about proposals are made approximately 75 days after the proposal deadline. If invited to progress to the next stage, authors will have 3 months to submit a full manuscript, which will be reviewed by an Associate Editor. From that point forward, the process is no longer a blind review; rather, it is a collaborative development process.
