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, Experiential Learning@MGA, 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:
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 ExperientialLearning@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.
Each submission to the journal requires a faculty endorsement. Have the sponsoring faculty member
email the Office of Experiential Learning at ExperientialLearning@MGA.edu.
