How We Evaluate Your Work
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 review staff keeps the following criteria in mind while reviewing your work:
This Work…
- Makes the Discourse of the Field Accessible to Those not in It
- Explains terminology, principles, and perspectives thoroughly and clearly
- Explicates the connections and applications of the work to other field
- Re-visions scholarship
- Explores how to effectively incorporate improbable structures from other genres, disciplines, or fields
- Explores and blurs the distinction between “academic” and “creative”
- Challenges the boundaries separating the humanities from the sciences
- Shows an understanding of principles, methods, and theories that are used
- Integrates these principles, methods, and theories in a fluid and engaging way
- Incorporates sources appropriately and effectively (where applicable)
- Addresses audience appropriately and clearly in its own context
