Use to understand how The Art Bulletin evaluates a submission — double-blind peer review, what referees and the editor look for in art-historical work, and the likely decision outcomes. Helps anticipate review; it does not contact editors or simulate a specific referee.

# Review Process (artbull-review-process)

The Art Bulletin uses **double-blind peer review**: both author and reviewers are anonymous, which is
why submissions must be **Microsoft Word (not PDF)** with all author-identifying information stripped
from text and notes. Knowing what referees weigh helps you pre-empt the objections that sink papers.

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to pressure-test the paper against likely referee objections
- Understanding why anonymity (Word, no self-revealing citations) matters procedurally
- Interpreting a decision letter and planning next steps
- Deciding whether the contribution is strong enough for the discipline's flagship
