review process

Once you have submitted your report, your funding programme will check that it is in line with requirements and then it will be passed to the editorial office. At this point, your report has entered editorial review.
The report will then be reviewed, usually by at least 3 independent experts who provide expertise in various relevant areas (such as curatorial, art history, gallery/museum managing, etc.).
Reviewers are asked to return their comments within 4 weeks. When all the comments have been received, the editors review all of the papers and feedback is given to the author (please note for TAR reports the editor will review the report only after it has been revised in response to the initial reviewer comments). Ideally, all of this will take place within 2 months of receipt of your final report.
Should your report require revision you will be invited to resubmit an electronic version of your revised report within four weeks. This must be accompanied by a table detailing the changes that have/have not been made in response to the editors’ and/or reviewers’ comments.
The editors will then decide whether or not you have adequately addressed the reviewers’ comments. If the changes are not considered sufficient, you will be asked to make further revisions. Occasionally, the editors may ask for the revised report to be re-reviewed.
When the editors are satisfied that a report is acceptable for publication, the report is sent to the production house.
At this stage, your report is accepted for publication and you can now cite your report as ‘in publication’. You can upload your report to your institution’s repository at this stage, however if you do so, it must be a closed version. We would prefer you to wait until the report is published because:

  • the report is subject to change throughout the editorial process
  • your dual publication articles may not get published if your work is already in the public domain
  • you may not have secured all necessary permissions for reproduced material within your report.

Please note that the editors will make the final decision on a report’s suitability for publication. They have an extensive role throughout the process, including assigning reviewers, reviewing reports, signing them off to be sent to the production house and approving the final proofs before publication.
