I’ve submitted, now what?
After you submit your work, the Intuition board will review your paper and decide whether to accept, ask for revisions before acceptance, or reject your paper. If your paper is accepted, it will be given to a faculty member for further revision. Depending on the professor’s remarks, your paper will either be accepted, returned to you for further revision, or rejected. If your paper is initially in need of revision, the editorial board will return your paper with comments and suggestions to improve your work. After you've made the proper revisions, your paper will be given to a professor for further revision where it will be accepted, returned in need of further revision, or rejected.
