Visibility. Your article will be visible in search engines like WorldCat and Google Scholar, but also shared on the social media accounts of UW and Middle East Medievalists. The publish-when-ready model drives traffic to the journal website throughout the year.
Professional team. Your article will benefit from editors who engage closely with and care about your work, as well as professional copy-editing to help your contributions shine.
