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. =)

✅ Mentioned prior engagement (ICA regional event + other workshopping)
✅ Made a connect back to the journal's aims

"What, you desk rejected my paper. Can' t I just revise and resubmit?"
This question comes up a lot. Via @bowmanspartan.bsky.social:
"We prefer desk reject over an editor-only revise and resubmit for three main reasons: avoiding delays, reducing snap judgements, and securing reviews."
How so?

So far, we've translated the GPC call for papers into nine different global languages, with many more on the way. =)
We'll release the documents once we've got them hosted, but thanks so much to our GPC board for hopping on board this project!

"So, how Global does my paper need to be?
We get this a lot, and the short answer is that "if it's from the Globe we call home, it's interesting to GPC."
Our focus on Global is less about a narrow view on work from specific regions but more a recognition that journals need truly Global engagement!

"Does my submission need a cover letter?"
We would say yes. Cover letters help us better understand the history of your work (e.g., was it presented at a prior @icahdq.bsky.social or elsewhere?) and help us see where and why you see a good fit for our journal.

Our editor is a bit of a paradox: cutting-edge thoughts on open-access publishing and engaging the @icahdq.bsky.social community, but with a ride nearly as old as our field. =)
