ACCEPTANCE RATE NOTE:  Some journals have a lower acceptance rate than 
Academic Exchange Quarterly.  However, this rate can be misleading, especially if 
one considers the number of pages allocated to a specific issue or even the 
journal's affiliation.

For example, if the Summer 2002 issue of AEQ had been restricted to 97 pages, rather 
than 194, several worthy articles would have had to go unpublished, and the 
acceptance rate for the issue would have been reduced to as low as 25%.  Given the 
increasing number of articles recommended for publication through AEQ's double-blind 
peer review process  as well as the journal's goal to enhance colleagues' knowledge 
of the theory and practice of teaching on a multidisciplinary basis, we consider it 
appropriate to expand the length of our quarterly issues and enhance our mission by 
publishing all articles recommended on their merit.  Fall 2003 issue had 330 pages 
- the largest number of pages in a single volume in the journal's history.
 
Academic Exchange Quarterly is 100% self-supported, so there is no need or pressure 
to pre-allocate any of the journal's space to subscribers, sponsors, or corporate 
owners. For instance, if an affiliated journal has a reported acceptance rate of 40% 
but pre-allocates half of the space to its members, the acceptance rate is actually 
80% to members and only 20% or lower to outsiders.   

All issue-acceptance-rate calculations are done on monthly basis and are 
made via open and transparent process described on journal's website.

Process in calculating issue-acceptance-rate involves the following steps.  
1. Each monthly entry starts with a symbol 
2. Initial number of submissions and inquiries is shown by four digit number, in
	grey color, next to the right of a given month. See TRACK-YOUR-SUBMISSION
	Read explanation of symbols for Monthly Activity Report
3. Two digit number starting with letter "t" indicates total number of submissions 
	for a given month - accepted for a blind review - excluding 21%-59% 
	of manuscripts that were rejected at the start. The two numbers, 21-59, 
	represent the lowest and the highest recorded rejection.
4. Submissions rejected after the blind review are listed here
	SUSPENDED OR SCHEDULED TO BE REMOVED 
5. Submissions accepted after the blind review are listed here
	REVIEWED AND SCHEDULED FOR PUBLICATION 
6. Academic Exchange Quarterly publishes four issues a year, i.e., one issue 
	every three months.
7. Hence, usually three-month-calculation will produce issue-acceptance-rate.
8. Said process provides general overview of steps leading to calculation of 
	issue-acceptance-rate and not precise measures - which may involve 
	algorithm computation.  

Sorry, we are unable to break down issue acceptance rate by topic acceptance rate.
