6. How will I know that you've received my article? You will receive either an e-mail or letter informing you of the status of your article after your submission has been reviewed by our editor. We receive numerous submissions daily; please allow sufficient time for your submission to be processed and reviewed. You will hear from us; a response is sent to the author of every submission we receive, but it often takes several days for us to read and evaluate articles.
