Studies in the Novel has been published quarterly by the Department of English at the University of North Texas since 1969.  Its aim is to present excellence in criticism of the novel in all periods, by established and emerging novelists worldwide, from all interpretive approaches.

Each issue contains five to six articles, an occasional review-essay, and eight to ten book reviews.  Articles may be submitted at any time and, following initial decision by the editor, are evaluated by noted scholars in the appropriate field from Studies in the Novel's advisory board and the broader academic community. Reviews and review-essays are commissioned by the book review editors, but suggestions for these are welcome.

The journal publishes a special issue roughly once a year, devoted to a single topic, comprised of commissioned essays, and edited by a guest editor.

Studies in the Novel is a member journal of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
