CONCEPT 2019: Call for Submissions

CONCEPT, Villanova's interdisciplinary journal of graduate studies, is now seeking submissions. The deadline for submission is Friday, February 1, 2019.

We are also looking for volunteers to serve as peer reviewers for the 2019 issue.

PAPERS: We are looking for well-written, well-researched, and not-too-technical papers of up to 25 pages. Students from all of the Graduate Studies Programs for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are encouraged to submit. We seek papers that are exemplary in their respective disciplines and that address topics with an interdisciplinary appeal for our broad readership. Submissions should be material that has been researched as part of graduate work at Villanova. Selection for publication is highly competitive.

We will recognize the best paper of the 2019 issue with the Graduate Research Prize. The winning author will be formally recognized at a publication celebration on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 from noon to 1:30 PM in Falvey Room 205.

Authors should register as users at the website and follow the directions posted there for submitting their work in blind-review format.

PEER REVIEWERS: CONCEPT is a graduate student-run publication. In addition to the editorial board we need graduate student peer-reviewers from all disciplines. Graduate students may submit articles for consideration AND participate in the peer review process. Given the breadth of the Graduate Studies Programs, to ensure fair review of submissions it is vitally important to have reviewers representing as many disciplines as possible.

Those interested in serving as a peer reviewer should contact the Faculty Managing Editor, Dr. John Kurtz, directly. Once you have contacted Dr. Kurtz, you can register as a user at the website. Please direct questions to:
