Why Publish with The Qualitative Review?
Free to Submit & Publish
We believe all students should be able to submit their work free of charge to have an opportunity to publish in a top humanities and social sciences journal.
True Expedited Review
Within two days you will have an initial decision made by our editors to determine if the paper is within the aims and scope. Within two weeks or 10 business days, you will receive a full decision on your manuscript: publish with no revisions, publish with minor revisions, revise and resubmit with minor revisions or revise and resubmit with major revisions.
Guaranteed Revise & Resubmit
If your manuscript is not accepted for publication, you will have an opportunity to revise and resubmit your manuscript. Our innovative policy allows you to receive feedback on your paper and make revisions before a final decision is made. Members of the Society of Qualitative Research will receive extensive feedback with all decisions, an unlimited amount of time to make required revisions for publication, and priority in their next review. Non-members must pay an author processing fee if they wish to receive extensive feedback in addition to their decision and will need to submit their updated manuscript within 60 days to be considered for publication.
