third week of September; for Winter, no later than the third week of =
December; for Spring no later than the third week of March; and for =

As a peer reviewed journal, submissions to Reconstruction are read in =
traditional double-blind fashion, critiqued, and subsequently either =
returned to the author for revision or accepted for publication. In the =
case of disputed articles, the readers unable to come to a consensus, =
the article will be read by an additional reader and then, again, =
decided upon for future publication.
All articles are read blind, and once the decision for inclusion is made =
the author is contacted by a member of the advisory board who will then =
act as supervising editor in the revision of the article (if so needed).
Articles accepted for publication are done so under the following =
conditions: 1) If the article has not appeared in English previously, =
the article will not appear in publication before its publication in =
Reconstruction. 2) The author of said article is responsible for any and =
all legal complaints made against the work, and is thus financially =
responsible for any legal actions. 3) Any subsequent publication of the =
article, in any form, must acknowledge its earlier publication in =
Reconstruction.
In matters of citation, it is assumed that the proper MLA format will be =
followed. Other citation formats are acceptable in respect to the =
disciplinary concerns of the author. For further information, please =
