Peer Review
Peer review is a fundamental step in our decision-making process. If your project passes the initial phase of vetting by our acquisitions team, then the next step is peer review. All University of Arizona Press titles are thoroughly peer reviewed prior to publication following the Association of University Presses Best Practices for Peer Review.
