The editorial office of CRIMINOLOGY is pleased to announce a new web-based manuscript submission and review system.  The new system facilitates a faster and more cost-effective review process.

Go to www.criminology.umd.edu to register for your username and password.  You can then submit and review papers electronically.  Submission fees must still be sent via regular mail, even for those papers submitted electronically.

The website provides clear instructions for authors to post their manuscript and any supporting documents.  They will receive immediate acknowledgement of receipt of their manuscript and an identification number.  Editorial staff will convert the manuscript to secure PDF format and send it out for review as directed by the editor.  Reviewers will receive an e-mail with the PDF document and the necessary forms for review attached, which they can then upload to the website upon completion.

Everyone is encouraged to visit the website and register.
