You will receive an automated email upon submission. The Anthós board will send a separate email confirming review of your submission beginning in Winter Quarter. Anthós editors will contact you within a month of the submission deadline to inform you if your article will be sent out for single-anonymized review (see more information here).

If selected for faculty review, expect a publication decision no earlier than a month (30 days) from your initial review notification. You can expect one of the following decisions:

• Accept (no revisions)
• Accept with minor revisions
• Accept with major revisions
• Reject

You will receive your faculty reviewer’s author feedback, regardless of publication decision.

Authors whose articles have been accepted for publication will work with editors to revise papers based on reviewer feedback. Rejections happen for a myriad of reasons. We encourage Honors students to resubmit their revised papers for publication the following year.

Please reference the resources below while writing your paper or preparing for submission. Happy writing!

Adding Subject headings

• Library of Congress Subject Headings PDF Files

Subject Headings v Disciplines v. Keywords

Subject (heading)s are standardized terms used for indexing and cataloging academic work. When adding subjects, please reference the Library of Congress’s (LOC) subject headings lists. Subjects may overlap with disciplines but are typically more specific and represent an article’s subject matter. Disciplines refer to the academic community and audience the article belongs to.

If selected for publication, your editor will help you develop keywords for your article. Keywords are even more specific than subjects. Whereas subjects are more standardized LOC terms for categorizing an article, keywords are natural language words used within the article to boost readership. Keywords can refer to the topic, content, relevant scholars, or other significant persons, places, or things. Keywords may also refer to an event, such as the Civil War.
