• Istoria is a peer-reviewed publication. Submissions will be read by at least two members of the editorial staff and/or outside readers. Every effort will be made to match submissions with those readers most familiar with the subject matter and scholarly debates surrounding the topic. Readers will then make one of the following three recommendations to the editorial board:  1) accept; 2) revise and resubmit; 3) reject. Those papers accepted upon condition of revision will be returned to the author, whereupon the author will have a mutually agreed upon timeframe to make the requested changes.
