About Us

​Graduate student journals supported by GSA Publications are one of UCLA’s best-kept secrets and one of its most important assets in fostering new ways of thinking about scholarly communication. GSA’s publishing program, one of the largest of its kind in the country, has always supported less commercially viable and socially progressive scholarship and often under-supported forms of scholarly communication such as aggregation as well as traditionally defined areas of intellectual endeavor.
​
GSA Publications’ graduate student journals are ahead of the general scholarly curve in actively seeking out new ways to generate and disseminate knowledge by adopting new models, new methods, and new partnerships.
