We cannot anticipate the many varied and creative forms that re-visioned scholarship will undoubtedly take. Nevertheless, we must provide ourselves, our peer reviewers, and you–our audience and submitters–some guidance. Thus, the GMR staff keeps the following criteria in mind while reviewing your work:

Criteria 1: Organization and Structure

  • Incorporates empirical research techniques when applicable 
  • Shows an understanding of the different subdivisions within a question and addresses each of them appropriately
Criteria 2: Value of Scholarly Work

  • Addresses some gap of knowledge or contributes to some discourse in a meaningful way
  • Gives some insight into the future of the respective field
Criteria 3: Revisions scholarship

  • Incorporates techniques from different fields
  • Pushes the boundaries of the respective fields and connects to non-obvious fields of study. 
  • Explicates the connections and applications of the work to other fields
Criteria 4: Language composition

  1. Hi, I submitted a paper to the journal back in January, I believe. I am wondering when it will be reviewed. The paper I submitted is on the Federal Reserve’s response to the Great Recession. Thank you!
