MISSION:

Knighted: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Undergraduate Research seeks to highlight the
diverse array of fine undergraduate work being done across a wide variety of disciplines
at Middle Georgia State University. The University’s mission statement calls attention to
“lifelong learners whose scholarship and careers enhance the region,” and we believe that
Knighted does precisely that by providing a public venue for students to demonstrate
their research skills. In addition, the University’s Quality Enhancement Plan,
Knowledge@Work, fosters an academic environment and provides students opportunities
to engage in exploration and application beyond the classroom, with emphasis on the
completion of research projects with support from the institution and mentorship of
faculty. By going through the process of submission and peer review, students get an in-
depth feel for the craft of scholarly research.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Keep an eye out for the call for submissions for Knighted’s 2018 edition, which will go
out in fall of 2017! Students may submit original work that was completed as an
undergraduate at Middle Georgia State University. Original research projects, including
those developed in collaboration with faculty mentors, are welcome from all departments
and disciplines. Faculty in the appropriate discipline will review all submissions. The best
papers from the Undergraduate Conference are automatically accepted, and submissions
to the conference are eligible for faculty review for possible inclusion.
Typed manuscripts should be submitted as MSWord files to
KnowledgeAtWork@mga.edu. They should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins,
and in 12 point Times New Roman font. Illustrations, tables, and figure legends should
be embedded within the text at the locations preferred by the authors. Citations should be
formatted in the most recent editions of the citation style appropriate to their academic
disciplines, e.g. MLA, Chicago, APA, etc. The chosen format must be used consistently
throughout the manuscript.
