About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Seeking to develop the next generation of Americanists, New Errands' mission is to provide a venue for the publication of important original scholarship by emerging young scholars and to provide a teaching resource for instructors of American Studies looking for exemplary work to use in the classroom.
Peer Review Process
Reviewers score each paper based on four categories: the quality of the writing, the argument, the use of sources, and the paper's relevance to the journal's mission.
The papers accepted to New Errands must be of a high quality writing and represent strong usage of source material, but they need not be lengthy research papers or thesis chapters. We encourage submissions from students on all undergraduate levels, and of papers of all lengths and scopes.
Publication Frequency
New Errands is published semi-annually, after the end of each academic semester. The goal of this timetable is to collect and publish essays produced during the previous term, so that they can be made available as quickly as possible for use in the following term.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
