GAIC Paper Series
The GAIC paper series looks to publish pre-prints, small-n studies, case studies, and policy briefs that stand to contribute considerably to academic or public discourse. The GAIC paper series is meant to be an in-between for publishing academic work: It allows for the publication of work that might not fulfill the traditional format or criteria of journal articles, while providing editorial guidance and quality management from domain experts. Members associated with the GAIC network are encouraged to submit to the series. Publications range the scope of fields GAIC concerns intself with, from cultural anthropology to computer science and the in-between.
Editorial Standards
The GAIC Paper Series occupies a deliberate space between informal publication and peer-reviewed scholarship. It is designed to give rigorous, timely work a credible outlet — without imposing the length, format, or threshold requirements of an academic journal.
All submissions are assessed against the following criteria before acceptance:
The work presents a distinct argument, finding, or analysis not previously published elsewhere.
Sources, data, and methods are clearly described and available for scrutiny.
The submission engages meaningfully with the fields GAIC concerns itself with, from AI governance to cultural and social dimensions of technology, inequality, and conflict.
Arguments are presented accessibly, with care for accuracy, structure, and intellectual honesty.
Each submission is reviewed by a single member of the GAIC editorial board with relevant domain expertise. The reviewer may accept the submission, request revisions, or decline it. The review process is not double-blind, but reviewers are asked to assess submissions on scholarly merit alone.
