Submission and Review
Submitting a Manuscript
- Prepare your manuscript and illustrations in appropriate format, according to the instructions given below. Please be sure that your paper conforms to the content and style instructions.
- Email a copy of the manuscript to srandol@berkeley.edu along with a separate document that states the title of the manuscript; names of all authors; contact author's phone and email information; and current email addresses for all authors. To ensure author anonymity, this is the only place in the manuscript where the authors' identity information should appear.
The Review Process
Articles submitted to LHS Reports are reviewed anonymously (masked review) by two to three reviewers (one always is an editorial board member). All manuscripts are evaluated for their significance to the field and on their technical quality for the format represented. All submissions are acted upon as quickly as possible. The review process normally takes approximately 16–20 weeks.
Acceptance and Publication
Manuscripts accepted for publication are published within one year. The author will receive proofs of the article to read and correct. Under the provisions of the U.S. copyright law, the transfer of the copyright from author to the publisher, heretofore implicit in the submission of a manuscript, must now be explicitly transferred to enable the publisher to publish and disseminate the author's work to the fullest extent.
