Leonardo Electronic Almanac, (LEA ISSN No: 1071-4391) accepts both solicited and unsolicited original articles, essays and artist statements for review. We strongly encourage works from as diverse (geographic, intellectual, and analysis) a range of authorship as possible.

The review process involves peer review of all submitted articles, including those solicited by the editors. Generally each manuscript is reviewed by two or three technical peer reviewers. Once the article has been selected, it will then be edited by in-house editors. A request by an editor for a manuscript is not a guarantee that it will be published.

Authors are notified of acceptance, rejection or the need for revision within 4 - 8 weeks. Texts are judged on the basis of relevance to the aims and scope of the journal, originality, rigor of thought and the use of straightforward and precise prose. Texts should be condensed as much as possible and written to be accessible to the interested lay reader. Papers may include statements of belief and speculations, which should be denoted as such.

Most manuscripts require revision by the author before final acceptance. After a manuscript is accepted, it is edited at the editorial office and returned to the author for approval prior to publication. On average 5 - 10% of manuscripts received are eventually published.

Typical time between submission of a manuscript and appearance in print is between 6 - 12 months. Adherence to these guidelines minimizes revisions and shortens the overall editorial processing time.
