... and if you're still not convinced, reach out to Nick directly at [email protected]. Or, he'll see you in Cape Town. =)

And if you're ready to submit? We're taking papers now, at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gpcomm

Our Launch Editor, @bowmanspartan.bsky.social (Dr. Nick Bowman, Syracuse University) recently sat down with @academic.oup.com to discuss the broad editorial scope of GPC: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TF5...

... and if you're looking for a Global venue for your work, consider submitting that work to Global Perspectives in Communication! We take 4K and 8K length manuscripts, and just about any paper that fits the ICA program would fit our editorial mission.

and of course, you can submit straight away via mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gpcomm. Let's read that work. =)

As to why you should publish with us? A bit more from our launch editor, @bowmanspartan.bsky.social, about the editorial focus and scope of GPC: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TF5...

As always, reach out to us directly at [email protected] if you have questions, or reach out directly to our Editor @bowmanspartan.bsky.social if you'd like to know more!

The same goes for observations and perspectives -- it's not always the case that all work should generalize, and in many epistemologies this isn't a goal. Key to GPC is that we help grow our field by widening the coordinate space of what we claim to "know" (and where we "know" it from).

As such, we've asked our reviewers to forego remarks about the representativeness of observations -- data collected is data collected, and we need to hear from (literally) everyone if we're going to build a knowledge base for communication scholarship.

(3) We recognize that one reason (among many) that we exist is to ensure that scholarship from all over the globe can find a potential home.

Unless content is truly confusing to read, we've asked that reviewers refrain from copy-editing and rather, focus on content. Again here, our editorial staff can assist with fine-tuning later in the process.

(2) We've asked our reviewers explicitly to disregard concerns over grammar and other "Englishes." As a truly global journal, our readers + editors + authors come from all over and thus, we realize that there are many different ways to communicate in English. Bowman) if you'd like to gab. =)

Thus, the only real enforcement we have is our length: we'll take shorter (4K words) or longer (8K) manuscripts. After that? Format in whichever way makes sense to you. Only at "revision" stage to we ask for a standardized APA format, and our editorial team can help guide you on this.

However, we do three things that are a bit unique in our review process:

(1) We do not enforce any sort of formatting for initial submissions. We realize that scholarship from all over the globe will take so many different forms and formats.

For now? Know that our Editorial Board is eager to review your papers, and you're welcome to submit online at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gpcomm

✅ We've already accepted FIVE papers for 2026!

✅ We've had 35 original submission, 33 manuscripts (8K words) and 2 brief reports (4K words)
