How submissions are evaluated
Submissions are judged on four things: the depth and originality of the research, the quality of the analysis, the clarity of the writing, and the potential significance or impact of the work.

Clarity of writing
Whether the paper communicates complex ideas precisely and is genuinely readable, not just technically correct.

The potential importance of the work — what it could mean for its field, or for how a reader understands the topic.
