Last year I was going through a real dry spell – it seemed like I couldn’t get anything published. So far this year, however, things have gone pretty well. I’ve had three papers accepted at three different journals:
- Fumerton’s Principle of Inferential Justification, Skepticism, and the Nature of Inference (forthcoming in Journal of Philosophical Research)
- Generic Open Theism and Some Varieties Thereof (forthcoming in Religious Studies)
- The Philosophical Case for Open Theism (forthcoming in Philosophia)
The second one in the list was the one that really surprised me. Normal turnaround time for peer review is anywhere from 3 to 6 months. In this case, it was only 1 week!
Now if I can just manage to land one or two more publications in the next couple months I may stand a good chance of getting a tenure-track position. We’ll see.
Way to go on the publishing, Alan. I’ve always appreciated your writing, even if I’m not at this point an open theist (despite having some common ground–and growing at that–with your camp).
And I hear a friend of mine had a recent exchange with you about temporality vis-a-vis relationship within the Godhead. Sounds like an interesting topic to explore.
Peace.

Congrats, Alan. Three papers in 8 months (and 1 week, so far) is quite good.
In general, I think RS is pretty good in terms of turn-around time, but 1 week is good for even them! My guess would be that the editor accepted it himself.
Thanks, Shane. Good to hear from you.

Thanks, Kevin. Actually, the editor of RS did sent it out for review. The reviewer was just very quick.
