    Author Submission Checklist for all submissions

    Types of Manuscripts and Their Specific Guidelines:

    • Feature Articles (see general Guidelines): share research findings and new, creative insights about giftedness, talent development, creativity, advanced academics, and individual differences in all contexts
    • Methods Briefs: are instructive and address quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods topics within the context of our field so that the practice of gifted education research may be improved
    • Research Brief Reports: report research that does not warrant a full Feature Article (e.g., a replication or extension of a previously-published study, an executive summary of a large study or group of studies, research that has an original empirical or theoretical contribution but is smaller or narrower in scope)
    • Registered Reports: submit research plans prior to the research being conducted so that peer-review feedback may inform the research, helping to minimize bias in science

    All authors should read the Author Submission Guidelines prior to submitting. While preparing to submit, authors are encouraged to check their manuscript using the Author Submission Checklist, which summarizes the Guidelines. We provide additional information for Methods Briefs, Research Brief Reports, and Registered Reports, which also should be consulted. Manuscripts that do not meet the requirements on the Guidelines/Checklist will be returned for corrections before being reviewed.

    Manuscripts should be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gcq, where authors will be required to set up an online account in the Sage Track system powered by ScholarOne. Submission of a manuscript implies a commitment by the author to publish in the journal upon acceptance, and the Editors assume that any manuscript submitted to GCQ is not currently under consideration by any other journal.

    Specific questions or inquiries should be directed to the editorial team at jrcross@wm.edu.

    Manuscripts submitted through the Sage Track system are first checked for conformity to the Submission Guidelines. Manuscripts that meet formatting and content guidelines are then sent out for masked peer review. Each manuscript typically is assigned to a specific editor and associate editor who guide the manuscript through the peer review process. These editorial staff members select and invite four or more external reviewers within the Sage Track system. The assigned associate editor uses reviewers' recommendations to make publication recommendations for the manuscript. After reviewing the manuscript and the recommendations of the reviewers and assigned associate editor, the assigned editor makes the final publication decision and communicates it to the author. Typically, this process takes 2 to 4 months from the time of initial submission of the manuscript to sharing the initial decision with the corresponding author.

    Author’s Rights and Responsibilities

    As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.

    The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

    If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.

    For more information, please refer to the Sage Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
