The initial peer review process has a range of possible outcomes:

a) Accept with revisions: suggested revisions arising from the peer review process will be communicated by the editors to the author, together with the deadline for submission of the revised version.

b) Revise and resubmit: the peer review process has generated suggestions for substantial revisions, and the editors would like to see a revised version of the article before making a final decision about its inclusion or its rejection. Here too, comments arising from the peer review process will be communicated to the author, together with the deadline for submission of the revised version.

c) Reject for Studies in Church History; editors will provide feedback, including where the reviewers’ comments, and suggestions relating to possible submission elsewhere. Authors should note that a rejection might be for reasons relating to any of the criteria listed above, including the shape of the volume.
