Crow Review Process
Work submitted by students undergoes a double blind review process. The names of the students and their instructors are removed from submitted documents. Therefore, our reviewers do not know the names of the composers. Likewise, students are not made aware of the names of our reviewers. Our voluntary reviewers are comprised of YSU composition instructors, Composition Placement Test (CPT) readers as well as Writing Center tutors. At least two reviewers, evaluate each individual submission. For all students interested in submitting for next year's CROW publication, the submission deadline is June 1, 2017. In other words, any assignments completed during the Summer and Fall 2016 semesters or the Spring 2017 semester are eligible to be selected for publication in the 2017 addition of CROW.
