Submission Guidelines
Please find instructions for submitting a paper for publication below.
How do I get my paper published?
The Lafayette Global Review relies on a professor-nomination procedure to ensure high-quality content is submitted for peer-review. Nominations can be professor-initiated or student-requested.
Students seeking nomination should contact their professor with the request. If the professor believes the paper meets quality criteria, they should fill out the professor nomination form linked below. The LGR team will then receive the nomination and contact the student to begin the peer review process.*
*The LGR is awaiting Student Government approval before actively reviewing submissions.
Please see the submission guidelines linked immediately below for more details regarding the Professor Nomination process.
