Scientific Terrapin models our review process after professional journals. It is designed in a manner to provide authors rigorous and valuable criticism to help them learn about the scientific writing process and to improve the quality of their analysis. Upon submission of a manuscript, a qualified student editorial staff conducts an initial peer review. Components such as quality of analysis, scope of work, and quality of writing are evaluated. The manuscript is then returned to the author with a request for revisions. Revised manuscripts are then shared with University of Maryland faculty members in the field of the work in review. Faculty members evaluate the quality of the work and its contribution to the field. The recommendations of faculty members deem whether the work is published. Any required revisions are returned to the author to make changes. A final version of the manuscript is then prepared to publish in the journal.

Please send any questions or submissions to scientific.terrapin@gmail.com.
