GSR Journal considers original research manuscripts from all scientific disciplines for publication. We accept submissions that either 1) document research that adheres to principles of hypothesis-driven, controlled science or 2) analyze such hypothesis-driven controlled science (in the form of a review). GSR Journal now accepts social science papers (examples include anthropology, sociology, psychology, population health, disability & medical studies). Please format your manuscript according to the Manuscript Template and be sure to attach an Author Agreement form. Before submitting, please carefully read the Author Guidelines below.
