The UISPP Journal is PCI‑friendly and supports Peer Community In Archaeology (PCI Archaeology). Following the submission of a PCI-recommended manuscript, authors will receive a rapid initial decision, usually within five working days.
Within this short turnaround time, the UISPP Journal will inform authors of one of the following outcomes: (i) acceptance with no further peer review but potentially minor modifications; (ii) need for further peer review before a final decision; or (iii) that the journal is unable to accommodate the submission in one of its upcoming issues, for editorial reasons such as scope or thematic fit.
All articles submitted to the UISPP Journal without a PCI recommendation are subject to a peer-review process. This includes submissions to thematic (special) issues.
UISPP employs double blind reviewing: the referees remain anonymous (except when expressly requested by the same) as well as the authors remaining unknown to the reviewers. The referees are selected according to their expertise, the UISPP Journal welcomes suggestions for referees from the authors, although those suggestions may not necessarily be followed.
Referees are asked to comment on the originality of the publication, the stringency of the methodology used, the clarity with which results are presented, and also to evaluate correct referencing. Linguistic corrections are not part of the remit of the peer-review process.
The duration of the peer-review process depends on referees' response time but will normally take less than 2 months. Where authors are asked to undertake revisions, they have one month to submit the revised version. Submissions are published on-line within a maximum of one month from their final acceptance.
