Abstract

Extensive revising is required by most sociology journals. It is normative for authors to "revise and resubmit" their manuscripts several times before they are accepted for publication, a process that is time consuming, demoralizing, and stifling of creativity. This essay discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of abolishing the R&R as an option for journal editors.
