Peer Review & Commentary

The Editors-in-Chief check that the submissions comply with the formal guidelines and profile of the working paper series.

After acceptance, the article goes through a double-blind peer review process. Every contribution is evaluated by two independent, qualified reviewers, who constructively review the contributions and thereby introduce the young scholars to academic writing and publishing. Revised articles may be subject to a second review.

After the completion of the contribution, the editors will select one expert in the field to comment on the article from an interdisciplinary perspective, making suggestions for alternative analyses or further research directions.

Publication and Archiving

The article will be published thereafter on the website of the working paper series. Besides, a long term archiving at the German National Library and the Gender Open Repositorum is foreseen to ensure the articles do not get lost.
