gnovis is the online, peer-reviewed graduate
journal of Georgetown University's
Communication, Culture & Technology program.
gnovis is devoted to presenting
interdisciplinary scholarship that reflects
broad interests at the intersection of culture

forum for graduate students from around the
globe to explore the relationships between
technology, culture, media, and politics, and to share their original research.

Submission Guidelines
· All submissions should be the FINAL
version of the project, and should reflect
graduate-level scholarly writing and research.
Please do not submit projects in-process.
These submissions will be rejected without
review. Please ensure that papers reflect the
most current research available at the time you submit.
· Papers should be between 3000 and 7500
words (10-25 double-spaced pages), excluding
citations. There are few exceptions to this rule.
· gnovis accepts only MLA and APA style
citations for all papers. Please ensure that
your submissions are cited according to one of these style guides.
· We encourage submissions from all
scholars who are examining issues critically, to
include students outside of Georgetown
University, and independently practicing scholars.
How to Submit
Please submit articles via email to
<mailto:(submit /at/ gnovisjournal.org)>(submit /at/ gnovisjournal.org),
following the instructions below:
1. In the body of the email, include:
· your name
· your school affiliation, program name, and year
· contact information, preferably an email address checked regularly
2. Attach your submission as a file in an
editable format (i.e. Word, Pages) and remove
all personally identifiable information
including your name, school and program if applicable, and contact information.
The Review Process
When a paper is accepted for review, it is
anonymized to protect the author's identity and
then distributed to at least two peer reviewers.
gnovis' peer reviewers are current students and
alumni of the CCT program; they will read the
project critically, paying close attention to
both style and content and returned to the
gnovis editorial team. If it meets gnovis'
editorial standards, the project is then
returned to the author for any necessary
revisions. Once made, the project goes through a
final check by the staff before being published
in the next issue. Issues are published in the
fall and spring of each year, with special
themed issues possible throughout the year,
depending on current events and submission topics.
Is my paper a good fit for gnovis?
The most important questions to ask as you
consider submitting a project to gnovis are:
Does it contribute new ideas to the field? and
Will it provoke further research and
conversation? To decide if your topic is
appropriate, on the other hand, we recommend
perusing our existing journal articles and blog postings.
