Articles submitted to Conspectus undergo double-blind peer review, provided they pass the editors’ initial inspection. The journal has a board of reviewers who are responsible for reviewing articles across the spectrum of theological disciplines. Reviewers are enlisted to review articles within their areas of specialization. Review forms are supplied by the Editorial Team. The board of reviewers has a two-thirds membership majority external to SATS and none of its members are permitted to serve on the Editorial Team or Editorial Board. To safeguard the integrity of the double-blind peer review process, the list of reviewers is not published in any of the journal’s policy documents. 

Onboarding procedure 

Potential Review Board members are identified by the existing board and/or Editorial Team. It is not standard procedure for members of the public to apply for such a position. The Editor sends an email invitation to the potential candidate. Once a candidate is accepted to the Review Board, the Editor will direct the Administrator to send them the “Editorial Policy and the NDA Agreement” for signature. The Administrator adds the details to the Review Board Details sheet, and the signed documents are stored in the Review Board NDA folder.
