Peer Review

The acceptance process goes through two stages. 1) an anonymous-acceptance process where two editors and two reviewers read and vote on accepting a work (if anyone votes down, we get a third editor or reviewer); two negative votes result in the essay not being accepted. After this initial stage, the essays move on to 2) the peer-review stage where authors and two peer-editors work together to improve essays and prepare them for publication. At the end of this collaborative stage, the two peer-editors and two co-editors vote one more time on the essay. For acceptance, essays need a simple majority vote at this stage.
