Editorial & Review Board
Tenor of Our Times is created and managed by three separate boards.
- The Student Editorial Board is composed of three to five Harding University students who manage, produce, edit, collate, and format the journal itself.
- The Student Review board is composed of about four to seven Harding University students who individually edit the various articles submitted to the journal, providing recommendations, fixes, and who serve as the backbone of the peer-reviewing process alongside the Faculty Review Board.
- The Faculty Review Board is composed of three to ten university faculty from across the globe who also individually edit the various articles submitted to the journal, providing recommendations, fixes, and who serve as the backbone of the peer-reviewing process alongside the Student Review Board.
