Submission Process
The Tower is the only publication of the Georgia Institute of Technology that publishes peer-reviewed undergraduate research from all academic disciplines. A biannual publication, The Tower provides a comprehensive forum for discourse on cutting-edge research. In order to ensure only high quality research is published, all submissions undergo stringent blind, peer-review.
Submissions are reviewed by trained graduate and undergraduate students, and expert faculty in the field of the submission. The peer-review process takes several few months, on average. Often manuscripts will need several cycles of review and revision before they can be accepted for publication. Therefore, it is highly suggested that every effort is made to be early and prompt with submissions to ensure inclusion in the next issue of the journal.
Papers are reviewed based upon methodology, originality, and relevance of results. Statistical analysis should be used and reported where appropriate. Depth of analysis should be comprehensive. The most important consideration is to ensure that the paper is written for a general, educated audience. If the final set of accepted articles is not balanced to the satisfaction of the Editorial Board, accepted articles may be “held over” until the next year’s issue. Additionally, The Tower’s editorial staff maintains the right to revise articles for clarity and modifications for layout adherence.
