Submission and Refereeing procedure

Submission

To submit your article for publication in a SciPost Journal, you must:

  1. Prepare your manuscript using the SciPost LaTeX template (.tex, .pdf)
  2. Make your preprint publicly available on arXiv.org
  3. After appearance on the arXiv, fill the SciPost Submission form, choosing which SciPost Journal you wish to submit to.

Note that you cannot submit directly to SciPost Physics Select or SciPost Physics X. Submissions to SciPost Physics Letters deemed of superlative quality will be editorially promoted to SPS (and similarly for articles from SciPost Physics to SciPost Physics X).


Refereeing procedure

Papers submitted to SciPost are put through the peer-witnessed refereeing process, implementing the highest possible standard of refereeing. The precise procedure differs slightly between SciPost Journals but follows this pattern:

The duration of refereeing rounds depends on the Journal: 3 weeks for Letters, 4 weeks for traditional articles, and 8 weeks for Lecture Notes.
