Abstract
This research note explores the rationale for consistently submitting scholarly manuscripts to and publishing in American Journal of Criminal Justice. By means of structured interviews with nine of the most frequently published authors throughout the history of the journal,
this research identifies that AJCJ’s manuscript review process and its readership are the most common themes regarding motivations for consistently selecting
the journal. Specifically, data reveals that these authors believe that timely responses to submissions, high-quality feedback,
helpful editors, increased audience exposure, and received feedback from readers make AJCJ an attractive and viable outlet for their research articles.
