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.

We've been asked what makes our editorial process different. Well ... in some ways, we're not so unique. We're aspiring to be a top-tier journal of International Communication Association (ICA Official Page) and we're generally open to anything that fits "under the ICA umbrella."

✅ We've already accepted FIVE papers for 2026!

It's time again for our bi-monthly reporting! Since we're still in our first hear, we've chosen to do these as "year-to-date" reports to give a full picture of the journal to this point in 2025. A few highlights as we thread along.

A quick note that we're having some server issues that are delaying our ability to process manuscripts. All should be sorted out soon, but if you've been experiencing delays ... it's probably us, not you. We blame @bowmanspartan.bsky.social for mucking about. =)

Exciting times for the journal, folks. In the last 10 days, we've accepted our first manuscript and issued "accept, pending" decisions on two others.
It's fab seeing the work come together, from remarkably rigorous and detailed peer review to equally detailed and engaging Author replies. =)
