Contributions to the SSSA Journal should be submitted in quadruplicate to the editor, whose name and address are given in the masthead of each issue. For further details, see SSSA Publication Policy and the Suggestions for Contributors that are published in the January-February issue of each volume. The editor notifies the corresponding author of receipt of the manuscript and assigns it a registration number that must be used in all correspondence regarding the manuscript. The editor assigns each manuscript to the technical editor supervising the division in which the paper will be reviewed. The technical editor will assign the manuscript to an associate editor according to field of specialization.
Associate editors have the authority to approve manuscripts for publication.
Manuscripts judged unsuitable for publication are referred back to the technical editor who makes the final decision to release these manuscripts.
