The GSP Submission Process

General Submissions are welcome year-round. The submission process is automated through the GSP website, https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/gsp/.

The Editorial Board assesses all submissions first. To successfully go through the review process, submissions have to follow these GSP submission guidelines. Submissions that do not do so will be given one opportunity to fix any errors—authors will be contacted by a member of the Editorial Board with directions. Revisions which still do not adhere to the GSP submission guidelines will be rejected without further consideration. Please refer to the infograph detailing the GSP journey of submissions for more information.

After internal review, the Editorial Board will determine if the submission should be sent for peer review. For submissions that are sent for peer review, the Editorial Board will assess the reviews and provide feedback to the authors, which may include the need for further revisions by the author. The Editorial Board retains the final say on acceptance of a submission for publication.
