Current Anthropology Review Process Guide
Guides authors through manuscript screening, peer review, and the distinctive CA✩ Treatment for Current Anthropology submissions.
The Current Anthropology Review Process Guide helps researchers navigate the rigorous peer review workflow of Current Anthropology (CA), published by the University of Chicago Press for the Wenner-Gren Foundation. It provides structural evaluation to help manuscripts clear initial editorial screening for all-fields significance, select the appropriate article track, and prepare for the signature CA✩ Treatment—where accepted Major Articles are published alongside signed peer commentaries and an author reply. By helping scholars anticipate referee concerns, clear ethical hurdles, and stress-test arguments against public scholarly debate, this skill significantly improves publication readiness.
