Reviewer selection for each article submitted is up to the Editorial Board and takes into account reviewers' experience, competence, suggestions by authors or different editors, and a previous experience in reviewing papers for the Journal of Theatre Anthropology.

Every proposal submitted for publication is read at least by an editor, for an initial review. If the paper concerns any aspect of theatre anthropology and agrees with editorial policies, it is sent to two reviewers for evaluation. Journal of Theatre Anthropology uses a double blind peer review. The review process aims to provide authors with a competent opinion on their paper. A review should give authors suggestions, if needed, on how to improve their papers.
