Submission Guidelines

Submission procedure: GMJ encourages media scholars, media professionals, and graduate students to submit scholarly articles, critical essays, graduate research results, book reviews, and opinion pieces--related to the global communication--from throughout the world.

All scholarly articles should adhere to the following guidelines:

Articles and essays must be written according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, latest edition.

Articles should include: (a) article title, (b) author name/s, (c) current position/affiliation, (d) brief biography, (e) email and mail addresses, (f) a brief abstract, and (g) the URL for author/s" personal web page, all in a separate page.

Submissions must be in camera-ready format and include tables, graphs, charts, etc. within the text.

Although there is no absolute limit on length, submitted papers should be confined to approximately 7000 words.

Authors are expected to carefully proofread their work before submission.

Articles that do not conform to the stated submission guideline will be returned to author/s for revisions.

Authors are responsible for obtaining any necessary permission from copyright holders for reproducing previously published material, including charts, graphs, photos, tables, etc.

Authors should consider including links to any references, web pages, or sites related to their work (this is a strong advantage of electronic publications).

Manuscripts must be submitted to the Guest Editor electronically via email, CD, or HD disc in Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, or text format. The email to which articles for the Indian edition are to be sent is: mic.gmj@manipal.edu. All correspondence is to be sent to this email ID only.

Scholarly articles will go through a blind peer review process while other submissions (invited papers and commentaries) will be reviewed by the GMJ Indian editorial team.

Invited articles may vary in length but should follow the above guideline. Authors are highly encouraged to include related and useful web links in their work. This would certainly allow the Journal to maximize its potential by offering authors, readers, researchers, students and professionals immediate access to a wide range of existing electronic resources and web sites!
