Submissions

All articles go through an extensive review, editing, and design process. As such, the current publication timeline for non-regularly-scheduled content is 2-4 weeks. This may be much faster or longer depending on the current content queue. You may request a specific publication date, but these requests are not guaranteed. If you have time-sensitive content and would like to discuss the possibility of an expedited publication timeline, please use the chat function on this page (in the bottom right corner) to message our editor. Thank you!
