Web-Based Manuscript Submission Process for The Sociological Quarterly
The Sociological Quarterly uses a web-based submission and peer review system called ScholarOne Manuscripts. All new manuscript submissions should be made through the ScholarOne Manuscripts portal here. This system has proven to be quick and convenient for both authors and reviewers, but computer errors sometimes arise. If you have any difficulties with the online submission system at any stage of the process, please email us and we will address your concern right away.
For Authors
-To submit a manuscript to The Sociological Quarterly, authors should access the portal here to upload the manuscript and any other correspondence.
-Full help and instructions are provided on-screen.
-You will be prompted for author and manuscript details and then to upload your manuscript file(s).
-Please make sure your manuscript conforms to journal style by consulting the author guidelines.
-Please remember that we review “blind,” so that neither authors nor reviewers know each others’ identity. To this end, please do not identify yourself, your colleagues or institution within the submitted files; instead, give your details during the submission process.
-All correspondence will occur through email.
-A completed submission is confirmed by email immediately and your paper will then enter the editorial process.
-Your manuscript will have a unique manuscript number and you can check the progress of your manuscript at any time by returning to the author portal.
-When a decision is made, revisions can be submitted online, with an opportunity to view and respond to all comments.
For Reviewers

-If you are asked to review a manuscript, but are unable to do so, please support The Sociological Quarterly by providing the names of alternate reviewers.

-Telephone support is available through the ScholarOne Manuscripts support office Monday 12:00 am to Friday 8:30 pm EST at the following US-based numbers: 434-964-4100, or 888-503-1050.
