Use to understand how Critical Inquiry (CI) evaluates a submission — peer review plus close reading by the editors-in-chief in consultation with the editorial team, the no-simultaneous-submission rule, the commissioned/special-issue routes, and the high ambition bar that defines the journal. Sets expectations and shapes the essay to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (ci-review-process)
Knowing how CI reads submissions lets you pre-empt the failure modes before sending. CI is
**peer-reviewed**, and all peer-reviewed and commissioned manuscripts are **thoroughly reviewed by the
editors-in-chief in consultation with the editorial team**. The decisive question is always the same:
**is this a real intervention worthy of the journal's ambition bar?**
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test the essay against CI's expectations
- Deciding whether your project is an unsolicited Article or a likely commissioned piece
- Considering a special-issue proposal
- Interpreting a decision and setting expectations
