There are a lot of great peer-review journals on religion. Of course, we all want something into a top journal like Church History, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Religion and Culture, Journal of the Scientific Study of Religion, etc. etc. But if you are interested in a peer-reviewed journal that specializes in graduate research into religion with a much quicker acceptance notice (2 months about), see the Intermountain West Journal of Religious Studies at www.imwjournal.com. For me, I've published mainly in journals in my subfield (haven't gotten into a top journal yet) and at this level it seems it takes about a year for the full process.

2.3 Anthropology B.A. 4.0 Religious Studies 2nd BA 4.0 History M.A. 680 V 550 Q 5 Published Peer Review Articles, 12 Conference Presentations including ASCH, CESNUR, SSSR, and AAR. Accepted FSU and UCSB both with excellent funding (American Religious History) Waitlisted Columbia and Vanderbilt Rejected by more than I care to remember.... many of which offered very encouraging comments during the application process.

Last week, I did get an invite from Vanderbilt in the Historical Studies section.
