reviewer comments as directed by the editors before the article will be
accepted for final publication.
- Articles in the second
content area, i.e., program descriptions, will be reviewed by the editors
or individuals they may designate. Authors may request that their articles
be peer reviewed should they need such a standard for professional or
personal reasons. However, program articles will not routinely be peer
reviewed.
