While journal practices vary from publication to publication, the Journal of Markets & Moralitys process will be representative enough to give a few rules of thumb, at least for the sort of qualitative research we typically publish. I write from my personal experience as managing editor with the hope of opening a window into what one example of the editorial process looks like, rather than simply surveying general trends. I hope this editorial will function as a primer in both the publishing process and good practices for academic authors.
