In selecting articles for publication, the editor gives preference to those of
general
significance and interest that are well written, well organized,
and intelligible to the ACM Crossroads student audience. Articles that
are consistently
rejected include those that are overly commercial in tone, poorly written
or poorly organized,
too specialized or esoteric, too elementary, technically flawed, or too long.
If an article is rejected for publication, the author is promptly notified.
Before an article is approved for publication, it is reviewed by the
entire editorial
board as well as external "expert" advisors and special guest editors.
After approval an article is considered conditionally accepted,
meaning that the article will be prepared for publication when the
author makes the recommended changes in organization, style, and content.
