Publication
Publish your work
Publication is the last stage of a project. When the work is finished, you submit it to Monta Vista Demo, one or more editors will review it, and if accepted, will publish it to the showcase.
Submissions are read by student reviewers with potential faculty oversight. That is only an editorial review, not double blind peer review.
What you get is a permanent, indexed, citable record: its own URL that never changes, a stable identifier, a formatted citation, and metadata that lets search engines and scholarly indexes find it.
- Automated structural checks run first. Failures are shown against the section that failed, requiring you to fix them and resubmit.
- If you have co-authors, each of them has to accept. A submission listing someone who has not accepted cannot proceed.
- The record is created and you get a tracking link that works without logging in.
- All co-authors are emailed the tracking link and the expected timeline.
- An editor screens it for scope, ethics flags, and prior publication.
- One or two reviewers are assigned, each with a due date.
- You get one consolidated list of what to change, not raw reviewer output.
- Usually there are at most two revision rounds. After the second, the editor accepts or declines. You can withdraw at any point before publication.
- Pre-submission checklist
If it is on this list, the system checks it before human review.
- How review works
The detailed review process, how long it takes, who decides, and how to withdraw.
- Authorship
Who counts as an author, how order is decided, and what the contributions statement has to say.
- Ethics and eligibility
Human participants, animals, hazardous materials, AI disclosure, and work presented somewhere else first.
Submitting needs an account. Reading never does.
The submission form lives on the working surface, where your project already is. Everything on this half of the site stays open to anyone.
