Manuscripts for Peer Review

Manuscript submissions to the GJCPP will be subject to a blind peer-review process. In some cases, an Action Editor will be assigned to work with the authors/submitters to improve the submission for publication. Every effort will be made to share manuscripts that are of the highest quality, and reflect the values of the authors and editors.

Authors are required to provide the names and email addresses of at least two potential reviewers.  Potential reviewer information is added to the Comments for the Editor section at the end of the submission process.

We follow APA guidelines (http://www.apastyle.org/) for submissions. Please limit manuscript to 20 pages, double-spaced with 1-inch margins, plus references, tables and figures.

Special Issues and Themed Issue

We are always open to special issues and themed issues. We publish one or two per year. These can be conference proceedings, or issues developed from symposia and conference presentations.
